Ohh it's been a funky kind of day for me, ha ha both musically and in real life. Seems like weird stuff has been happening today, so I'm happy that I'm at home now listening to tunes. I'm a huge fan of all the groovy, soulful, funky fresh dance music coming out the last couple years and today I'm super excited to introduce to you a brand new London and LA based duo KINGDM! This being their first track ever released, I'm pumped that I'm getting on board early. This tune starts with bouncy piano, claps, kick and some incredible vocals. As the chorus hits we feel the groovy bass lift us into flight with catchy falsetto vocals leading the charge and tuned back up vocals filling in the rest. Don't know much about these guys yet at this point, but the music is fire!

[PREMIERE] WILD & FREE - THE MOONHOWLER EP
PREMIERE, Music, Original MixCommentLA homies in the house! I always enjoy supporting my brethren in the south, and today's premiere has all kinds of tropical summer vibes that we've grown to love from SoCal producers! Wild & Free bring us their latest EP The Moonhowler via buzzing label RIS Labs. Included are two fantastic tracks, "The Moonhowler" and "River of Nile" -- both deliciously drenched in disco beats and have ultimate groove feels! So kick back and relax on this lovely afternoon and lose yourself with Wild & Free!
MAKELOVE - DIVE IN (PAT LOK REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentPat Lok returns with another sultry remix! This time of he brings his transformative skills to MakeLove's new single "Dive In." The track starts with a chilled out synth line that eventually rises us to the first verse. As we reach the chorus, Pat brings the heat with his characteristically funky bass line and a superbly arousing saxophone line. This track is smoother than silk and makes me think of a classy cocktail hour get together, or maybe a luxury car commercial driving through a neon city ha ha. Whatever this track reminds you of, we can all agree it's sexy af.
SHAGGY - WASN'T ME (VICEROY "JET LIFE" REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentEvery time Viceroy drops another one of his "Jet Life" remixes, we know it will be nothing less than pure joy - like pineapples floating in a pool kind of joy! The sultan of summer is keeping warm sunshine vibes and tropical summer feels alive as we head into the winter months, and this new remix of "Wasn't Me" by Shaggy tops it off! Grab this as a free download HERE!
TKAY MAIDZA - GHOST
Music, Original MixCommentWe've got a BB newcomer today for you. Adelaide, Australia represent! Tkay Maidza's new single "Ghost" is flashy, edgy, bass filled and straight up catchy. Although given the heavy hitters behind the production of this track, I'm not surprised. It starts with George Maple, who's resume includes working with Flume, Goldroom and What So Not, who also happens to have a production credit for this one and oh why not throw in Baauer for good measure. The result is an eclectic, melodic and distorted garage hip hop tune with layers of atmospheric sounds. I think we're going to see a lot more of Tkay in the future.
KARL KLING - I NEED YOU
Music, Original MixCommentThis year I have been lucky enough to grow close to this brilliant artist through a series of epic SF nights and summer weekends in LA. Karl Kling has become one of my favorite people ever, and is directly responsible for the the most amazing phrase of the year, "KK's got your back!" I believe it! This week Karl Kling releases a new single that is so freaking good -- he's channeling some Death Cab for Cutie vibes mixed in with steady rockin dance pop beats! He's currently on tour with RAC, and I highly suggest getting out to a show! And Karl, BB's got your back, always! LOVE!
CHEAT CODES - FOLLOW YOU
Music, Original MixCommentIt's gotten cold, even in Los Angeles! As much as I want to make hot chocolate and bundle up by a fire, it's tracks like Cheat Codes "Follow You" that snap me out of the winter wallows and bring me back to a tropical delight. This pop oriented record features bright acoustic guitar, upbeat piano and energetic plucked synth melodies all bound together with infectiously cheery lyrics and melody. If this isn't the cure for the start of your cold weather weariness, then I don't know what is!
