One of the great debates in the music blogging world (at least in my world) this past Friday was which Lido remix do we pick to feature? I mean, there are so many and they are all so good ... just one of the many struggles a girl with a blog goes through. Mossy. won me over after listening, his smooth clean sound left me feeling some kind of way. Last month we premiered this Los Angeles producer's first release, so makes since we back it up with now featuring his delicious remix of "Dye" and I'm telling you - it's brilliant. Lucky for us, we get to watch this young producer come alive, I'll definitely be with him every step of the way.

KWON - REFLECTION POOL
Music, Original MixCommentYou guys want some of that new new? Kwon is just starting to spread his wings, but I think this young new music maker can already fly. This DC producer brought some heat with new original "Reflection Pool" - it's been out for over a week but I feel like it's something we can't over look. With big future feels and strong melodies, this track is stuffed full of synthy sexy beats and strong dance floor vibes - I am feeeeeling this one! Get into Kwon y'all!
LANY - ILYSB (ANDREW LUCE REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentIf you have been wondering where the Beautiful Buzzz team has been over the past few days, you can blame 4 little letters - SXSW - and the insane amount of planning that goes into your annual 4 day and 4 night party in Austin. I'm going to try to do a little catch up today while I have a bit of free time, and one track that is giving me all the chill vibes on this rainy Sunday is this new Andrew Luce remix of "Ilybs" by Lany. This 19 year old Los Angeles producer shows us some deep future soul sounds that are hitting all the right feels. You guys can grab a free download HERE!
EMMIT FENN - MODERN FLAME (FEAT. YUNA)
Music1 CommentBack in December, we introduced you to Emmit Fenn, the Los Angeles-based artist who writes, produces, and sings darkly-tinged post-EDM genre-bending music. He demonstrates a solid grasp on various production styles including pop, hip hop, and future bass. His delicate voice also contrasts effortlessly with the highly dynamic elements of his production. On his latest track “Modern Flame”, which features the incredible Yuna, he's found himself the perfect duet partner for his first collab. The Malaysian songstress’ silky smooth pop/R&B vocals provide a similar understated topline to Fenn’s, which together strike the perfect balance with the track’s production. Listeners like me are definitely eager to see what other collaborations Fenn has coming next!
AXEL MANSOOR - WASTED MY LOVE
Music, Original MixCommentYay I'm pumped I get to do this. Let me have the grand honor of introducing you to Axel Mansoor! I've known Axel since we were both in college together, and I'm amazingly happy to hear how awesome this release is. "Wasted My Love" is vibey af in the best possible way. The guitars are swelteringly sensual, and the delays and reverbs set a dreamy soundscape for this longing tune. Axel's falsetto vocals ebb and flow with a catchy chorus that rings out "wasted my love, you wasted my love." As the lyrcism sweeps downward with tenseness so does the chorus melody sink with the weight of the subject matter. We've all been in that situation when a relationship doesn't quite go as planned and you're left wondering if it was all worth it. I hope there's much more downtempo goodness following this tune from Axel, but before we move on lets enjoy the fulfilling vulnerability of this one. You can get this as a free download here.
Disclosure: Axel Mansoor is managed by Beautiful Buzzz writer Mike Doose.
SIVIK - ALL DAY ALL NIGHT (JOHN LOCK REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentSo this is gonna make blog number 3 for me today, and yet there's still so much more music I could get to - it's like we're gearing up for festival season or something... Regardless, I really loved Sivik's original "All Day All Night" and was pretty pumped when he sent over this John Lock remix. Electronic music in general has gotten so chill lately and I am in no way complaining. This remix is full of laid back bliss, and chill housey tones it should put you at ease. Dig in to this during an breezey afternoon picnic and get lost in the clouds. You can grab this as a free download here.
JUSTIN CARUSO - TALK ABOUT ME (FT. VICTORIA ZARO)
Music, Original MixCommentSo much good music dropping it's hard out here for a pim...I mean blogger lol. Justin Caruso bubbled into our radar when we premiered his remix of Martin Garrix's banger with Bebe Rexha "In the Name of Love." Well now he's back with his FIRST original "Talk About Me" thats perfect for that sunset drive down the PCH with your bae ridin' shotgun looking cute as hell. Well that's what I'm picturing at least, but the chill-to-bump ratio (i'm gonna copyright that haha) is just right on in this tune. Victoria Zaro's lyrics have bit of bite to them, but the nature of the instrumental offsets the spite of the lyricism just enough to give you room to smile. I'm digging - you can add this to your favorite Spotify playlist here.
THE WHITE PANDA X VÉRITÉ - SOMEBODY ELSE (THE 1975 COVER)
Music, Remix, CoverCommentIt's been a minute since I've tuned back into The White Panda, but I was sent over this cover of The 1975 they did with VÉRITÉ that's dopee! VÉRITÉ's vocals just flow over you like a warm summer breeze on top of swelling pads and light drumming. The horn hits burst in at the vocal chorus smashing the bass line with a percussive rhythm that persists into the vox chop filled chorus hyping the track up before dropping you back down for verse 2. While we're on the subject of White Panda I'm gonna also steer you over to their remix of Jahkoy's "California Heaven." I posted the original a while back and their remix was freaking awesome. You can download their "Somebody Else" cover for free here.
