DIFFERENT SLEEP - JUST CAUSE FT. DEEBS
Music, Original MixCommentOh hey - it's Thursday! This means some super siiick tracks are gonna drop today to avoid the rush of new release Friday. I call every Friday black Friday now because I'm overwhelmed with all the shiny new submissions I can't get to! Today however, our yung friend Different Sleep drops a heater that I'm feeeeeling! "Just Cause ft. Deebs" has that sexy deep future groove that always stirs the emotions .... I am loving this! His gentle floating melodies under syncopated hip-hop beats are 100% dreamy! Different Sleep nailed this one! His debut album Forget It comes out January 27 and you can preorder HERE!
FRND - STICKS AND STONES
Music, Original MixCommentThe mysterious producer FRND has given us his superb sophomore release and damn is it a good one. "Sticks And Stones" is a musical cocktail of sounds including harp, juicy saws, guitar like synthwork, layers of vocal harmonies, ah's, breaths and warping vox chops in the chorus that bring this feisty tune to a whole nutha level. His lyricism retorts with a f*** you attitude perfectly complementing the smirking instrumental. The record has a double sided appeal with lighter melodies and grooving rhythms offsetting the in your face sentiments brought out through the "Sticks and Stones" vocals. The ending finishes with an awesome synth solo that abruptly ends leaving you dumbfounded with how quickly the 3 minutes 5o seconds passed by. With a hype machine number one on his first release, the self titled "Friend," we have very high aspirations for this one as well.
YEN - WHIPPIN'
Music, Original Mix1 CommentNorth Carolina producer Yen channels his inner Sango with his newest single "Whippin'". Released through Proper Vibes, "Whippin'" follows up on his excellent Missy Elliot remix alongside fellow Proper Vibes producer Evan Inc.

The day this guy starts jumping on some lineups, I'll be first in line and you can quote me on that. You can download this for free right here.

Watching the momentum build around this young act is as exciting as it gets so don't sleep on this!!!! You grab this as free download here.
MOLLY MOORE - IMAGINARY FRIENDS (PLUTO REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentDamn I'm starting to feel old compared to all these up and coming producers lighting it up now a-days. I was sent this remix from 16 year old Pluto a bit before it came out, but due to life circumstances wasn't able to write it up until now. I was perusing the hype machine chart earlier yesterday and was happy to see this tune had already climbed all the way up to 2! I know Molly Moore is a hype machine darling and anything with her sumptuous voice is bound to get some attention, but lets focus on what this young producer has brought to this mix. The chorus drops into this minimalistic dirty sub drop with mysterious bells leading the charge in the top end. The guitars and horns intertwine with the drumming to subtly pave room for Molly's pipes. This remix doesn't go far out into left field, but instead keeps it close to home sharpening you're attention. You can download this tune for free right here.
THE CHAINSMOKERS - ALL WE KNOW FT. PHOEBE RYAN (SAID THE SKY REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentSaid The Sky has done it again! The Denver-based producer has just blessed us with his rework of The Chainsmokers' "All We Know" and to call it a must-hear would be an understatement. Recognizably Said The Sky in style, the remix is melodic, bubbly and feel good all the way through. Having just released a couple of mega-collaborations with 3LAU, Seven Lions and Illenium, all eyes have been on the rising producer to follow up with a great tune - and this one has more than exceeded my expectations. Grab a free download HERE and show your friends, they deserve the midweek pick-me-up.
