MEEKA KATES - EMPIRE FT. ALLEN GINSBERG (ORIGINAL MIX)
Music, Original MixCommentI just took a fantastic afternoon nap! With most of the electronic music industry in Vegas this weekend at EDC - this is a time for me to seize every opportunity to take naps, as well as catch up on some really amazing tracks that I might not otherwise get to put up on BB. A time to explore music freely without all my managers and PR peeps at me, whom I love very much but let's be real .... sometimes it can be overwhelming for a single girl with a HypeM blog! Meeka Kates is a Dutch singer/songwriter/producer living in Australia, which means hes is soaking all that magic music dust Australia provides it's artist and making some of the best music on the planet. His new track "Empire ft. Allen Ginsberg" is a fantastic cross of groovy deep deep house jams and indie pop dance feels - it's crazy good! Swoop a free download HERE!
