Trap Arnold- ” New Yourk “
picking up where things left off…
there is beauty in this situation. something that neither of us can comprehend or even try to explain. but just live with it. live with it and realize where you are and where you are going.
My homie Trap Arnold just dropped this brand new track. It features his very own vocals for the first time.
Shit is real. Don’t sleep on it.

DOPEWAVE IS REAL.
Some words from Tim of SDS:
Talking about music is a much different experience than listening to music. Genres at once confine, and define a musical endeavor. They can be offensive to some, and clarifying for others. Most recently genres grow like parasites, dividing into sub-genres, and even further into sub-sub-genres. Artists may always be disappointed with the genres they are inadvertently placed in by music writers, bloggers, and critics. But the fact that we have the luxury, not only of listening to more music than has ever been available, but to converse about it, is one I hope I never take for granted.
Genre creation will always be a fascinating process to watch. It happens everyday as the evolution of music outruns our ability to describe it.
Dopewave is an experiment in genre creation. Birthed out of a new group of young producers creating electronic sounds, that are simultaneously like nothing, and like everything you’ve ever heard. They reside primarily on SoundCloud, forcing us to become foragers among the clouds in constant search for that perfectly shaped sound. They are sounds that could attract several genres, from disco to trap, ambient to hip-hop, shoegaze to post-dub, and on and on. New sounds need new identifiers.
Flashlight Tag, Smoke Don’t Smoke, and Head Underwater have pooled their resources to gather a sample test for our great Dopewave experiment. We each foraged three producers of our choosing and asked for an exclusive track. Whether our findings were conclusive or not, may never be known in this world of constant evolution. Take a listen, and see for yourself if our hypothesis stands true ~ DOPEWAVE IS REAL.

Trap Arnold- ” Eugene’s Bike “
spiritual flows. destined for change…
Found this one late last night on the always consistent London-based blog, Don’t Die Wondering. At first I sort of rolled my eyes at the tongue-in-cheek name, “Trap Arnold”, but after a few solid listens I was completely hooked.
