Everybody’s favorite saxophone wielding, electronic dance music sensations are back with a FREE album titled “The Night Is Young.” Frontman for the festival-smashing duo, Dominic Lalli, and drum aficionado, Jeremy Salken, of Big G have been steadily posting full-length tracks from the album on SoundCloud for about a month now (excluding “Touch the Sky”). If we are not mistaken, the latest jam, “From Dusk Till Dawn,” will be the fifth they have put up on the Cloud for fans and prospective listeners.

(This is where I try and convince you of the song’s legitimacy. However, it’s Big G were talking about here. I don’t need to do any of that.)

Stop in at Big Gigantic’s web site and download your free copy of “The Night Is Young” today: http://biggigantic.net/

Or if you’re feeling ultra lazy this Wednesday, you can just download your free copy of “From Dusk Till Dawn,” right here at Rager Onions.

Big Gigantic and Trap music? Oh, you better believe it.

Much to our collective chagrins, it would seem trap music is here to stay. And it doesn’t appear to be going anywhere soon. However, in an effort not to add insult to injury, we find it relieving that some of the more talented producers in the game are proving what a skilled musician can do with the genre. Luckily, we have artists like Flume, 123MRK and Cashmere Cat who are constantly pushing the boundaries when it comes to producing Hp-Hop influenced EDM beats. When we found this little ditty by Boulder resident Big Gigantic, we just knew it was going to be HUGE (see what we did there?).

“Touch the Sky” is the result of a skilled infusion of musical flavors. The tediously long genre we have given the track in the title of this post does not even do the song justice when defining what it sounds like. It’s trap, electro-soul, jazz, dubstep and future bass all rolled into a jam that is truly indicative of the talent possessed by Dominic Lalli and Jeremy Salken of Big G.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis – Can’t Hold Us (Big Gigantic Remix)

We’ve been missing our boys over at Big G.

It would seem, however, that our wait for new music by Colorado residents Dominic Lalli and Jeremy Salken was not in vain. Their new remix of ‘Can’t Hold Us’ by hip-hop super studs Macklemore and Ryan Lewis can only be defined as positively divine. But then again, did you expect any less from Big Gigantic?

The weeping violin arrangement and uplifting melody of the chimes provide the perfect introduction to the new track. It only lasts for a few moments, followed by the true catalyst of the song in the form of Big G’s vocals. Using the already popular and resounding lyrics of Ray Dalton, BG continues to do what they do best on each and every production.

The jam climaxes as Big Gigantic drops modulated crescendos that would even make a nihilist nod his head in gratification. Dominic and Jeremy have given this song the perfect electronic touch, while simultaneously accenting the much more soulful aspects of the original. If you’re a fan of Big Gigantic, then you most certainly won’t be disappointed with the badass electric sax solo by Mr. Lalli.

President Clinton himself would be proud.
