It could have been any of us ......

WHETHAN - SAVAGE (FEAT. FLUX PAVILION & MAX)

Holy mother of collabs, we knew this Whethan thing was a growing trend, but shitt now it's a full on tsunami of buzz with this huge new track featuring the one and only Flux Pavilion! Ethan aka Whethan has been building support for his tunes, starting to tour (he crushed it on tour with Bearson last summer) and is now putting out some banger tracks. The "Savage" vocals come courtesy of NYC's actor/singer MAX who's put his pop friendly vocals to this grimey tune full of spikey rhythmic bass, breakdowns of guitar, and a piercing snare. This tune is 100% ready to be your hott and steamy winter warmer. Get it Get it! You can stream/download from Big Beat here.      

[PREMIERE] LEO ISLO - EUPHORIA (BIRDEE REMIX)

I am 100% chair dancing at the office right now ..... listening to our next premiere and kind of loving everything about it. Leo Islo released his killer Golden Grave EP earlier this year, and now our favorite LA underground electronic label PUZL is dropping some remixes that are so delicious you won't be able to resist shakin' that booty! We are lucky enough to be featuring this rad electro disco Birdee remix of "Euphoria" that grooves on level 10! This LA producer lays his sweet deep house vibe on thick - this is dance floor perfection.  You can pre-order the Remix EP HERE!

PORTER ROBINSON & MADEON - SHELTER (MAT ZO REMIX)

I had the pleasure of seeing Madeon and Porter Robinson perform together last week, and damnn it was a fun ride. Seeing those two (still young) legends go toe-to-toe playing all of their hits together was a total treat! We know these guys still have a long and prosperous career ahead of them, but it was good to reflect back on their meteoric rises along with the tsunami that is dance music. Mat Zo is also legendary in his own right. These three names are honestly ones that have continually inspired me in dance music, and the hits keep coming. Mat Zo crushed this remix of "Shelter" per usual, and it makes me super happy to bring it to your ears. Dive into this one folks. You can also stream this on youtube here. 

TWENTY ONE PILOTS - THE JUDGE (CROIX FLIP)

Sitting in my coastal bubble, when i think of Ohio i think of sports prowess and flyover country. Needless to say Cleveland based producer Croix has forced me to reevaluate this bias. Croix's remix of 21 Pilot's "The Judge" beefs up the hipster classic and makes it dance-floor-ready just in time for winter, adding to the steady flow of tracks to keep us warm while we wait for spring. Grab a free download here. Make sure to check out more Croix here.

MAKO - LET GO OF THE WHEEL + HOURGLASS LP

Ok this was was a must today. I had the ultimate pleasure of seeing Mako's first ever live show last night, and damn Alex and Logan absolutely crushed it! So a little backstory, the guys have undergone a transformation over the last year moving from their dance heavy roots into a full indie pop soiree that is ready to take on the world! Their new live show has strings, guitars, keys and drums with Alex's vocals leading the way. I've also had the pleasure of hearing their upcoming Hourglass LP due out next Friday December 9th, which is also amazing and is currently available for pre-order here. Let's tap into "Let Go Of The Wheel," this final single from the LP might just be the best of the album. The tune starts warm and relaxed with an uplifting arp and pads filling out the instrumental behind Alex's first verse. As the guitars slide in leading us into the pre-chorus, the track explodes into massively uplifting chorus, full of cascading melodies of vocal ooh's, and layers of sound full of sun soaked strings, pads and a punchy snare/clap. "Let Go Of The Wheel" is a beautiful exposé of their new sound, poised to keep us warm and in high spirits as we launch into the Christmas season.    

FRND - FRIEND (STEVE JAMES REMIX)

Steve James is bae! This year he has dazzled us with so many excellent jams - we kinda can't get enough. He played our SXSW show back in March, so he is 100% BB fam for life. Today he dropped his latest remix of "Friend" by FRND that we are totally vibing with.  He's put is edgy future feels sound all over this bad boy, mixing in synthy soulful vocals with glitchy beats ... all the goodness.  Get familiar, get into this one! Grab a free download HERE!    

LAKUNO - ECHO FT. BAHAR DOPRAN

Aussie Lakuno and UK based Bahar Dopran come out of nowhere with a track that stays light on its feet, but delivers a punchy drop that gives me chills. Every time I hear something fresh coming out of Australia, I question my life choices that led me to somehow not be in Australia as I write this. Where can i find this "easy access to idyllic beach" filter and is it on Amazon Prime? Keep an eye out for these two newcomers and you can download/stream this single on your fave retailer here.

MEMBA - HEAT OF THE MOMENT (FT. GIIA & HOOSH)

NY duo MEMBA weaves together an catchy, ambient masterpiece with vocalists GIIA & Hoosh through Elysian Records that will be runnin through your head all day. Performing both DJ and live sets, MEMBA has an artistic depth and technical proficiency that promises to deliver future bangers but also solid live experiences. You can download or stream HERE!
