BANDMASTER X EZERI - JUST PADDLE

Music, Original MixEricComment

Here's a cool record I came across in my perusings of the interwebs. The dreamy intro and casual piano lead to funky vocals and a lazy beat that really struck my fancy when I heard it. I'm not usually into more experimental music, but I thought this one had the right combination of funkiness and groove that starts to take a hold of you by the end. The end also just opens up and heads into a completely different direction from the opening leaving you rather breathless. I don't know much about Bandmaster or Ezeri other than that they are from Latvia and also just came out with an EP last Friday entitled "Stay Awake" that is also pretty tight so check it out!

MINDSIGHT & DUUMU - WHAT FEELS RIGHT

Music, Original MixAlli LindseyComment

Monstercat is a collective of musicians and artistic pioneers that continuously blazes trails for the future of electronic music. The world renowned ensemble has proved, more than occasionally, that their "aesthetic" is undefinable. Monstercat caters to the many sub-genres under the umbrella of EDM, resulting in millions of followers and fans. Not to my surprise, Monstercat just released Mindsight and Duumu's collaborative track, "What Feels Right." The single reaches beyond what is currently popular in contemporary indie electronic music. It's wavy, syncopated, and has an almost vintage electronic energy. Despite its many layers, and intentional proliferation, the cadence is clear, ensuring that no other artist can produce something of its nature. The sultry, chrome, female vocals are chopped but, to my appreciation, not screwed. Mindsight and Duumu have just mapped out a journey through a piece that is not "all over the place," but takes you places you haven't been before. It's a geometric, 4-D track that goes against the grain of what is happening in modern music. Straight up, I love it- almost experimental, but warmly approachable. See what I mean via Soundcloud, and Spotify

[PREMIERE] WHETHAN VS OLIVER TREE - WHEN I'M DOWN (BRONZE WHALE)

Music, RemixAlli LindseyComment

Yes. Once more, "The Live Music Capital of The World," Austin, Texas has brought to fruition another illustrious musician. A duo actually, Bronze Whale, composed of Benny and Jaques who make "sexy whale sounds" that have continuously dominated the electronic music scene in ATX, just dropped a saucy remix for Whethan and Oliver Tree's, "When I'm Down." The original track is a stand alone classic, but the holy hands of Bronze Whale have cast upon it new dimensions. The flip possesses a pop-step energy, with a kind hint of bubbly on the nose. Yet, it still has this sharp, demanding tone that drives it up and down, you know, so you can shuffle. There is a pronounced emphasis on the intricacy of the production, it's never quite simple- but always an affable listen. Bronze Whale is recognized for their consistent delivery of big room sounds that pull on the heart strings. But, with this remix they give us a party. With this remix, they share with us the testimony of layered complexity in production. Although Bronze Whale is a fraction of a massive, often restrictive music scene in Austin, the two musicians are expanding their reach at a rapid pace, crashing into the scene without a parachute. And we are all here for it. Get familiar with what's about to get big by streaming, sharing, and gettin' down with their spunky, brilliantly unorthodox remix. My feet are moving, y'all.

KID FROOPY - DRIVE SLOW

Music, Original MixEricComment

Kid Froopy can do no wrong! He's hit some absolute home runs with "BB (four missed texts)" and "Dreams," and you know we were excited to hear his latest concoction - an energetic indie electronic tune "Drive Slow". The song pulses with layers of rhythmic vocal chops throughout the choruses and finale. There's also hints of funky guitar, and an infectious downward falling synth melody that floats in every now and then that serves as the whipped cream on top. This delectable tune is another fine dime in his deck of tasty jams. You can listen on Spotify as well here.

[PREMIERE] MIELO - SURREAL (STRATUS REMIX)

Music, Remix, PremiereErin MaherComment

It's no secret the mid-west city of Chicago is producing some major players in the electronic music scene as of late. They may all be moving to LA, but they know their roots! Today's premiere features two of these chi-town rising stars with this siiiick Stratus remix of "Surreal" by Mielo. I love this sexy slow groove under syncopated dance beats and big trap drops. This is the kind of track that makes a dance floor get dirty! Mielo will be heading out on his first US tour this year, and after featuring him at our SXSW show this year I can tell you its a set that can't be missed - more info to come on that soon! Until then - you can grab this as a free download HERE!  

JAI WOLF - STARLIGHT (GOLDROOM REMIX)

Music, RemixAlli LindseyComment

Nothing like a perfect, musical collaboration to ease a 101 fever on a Monday. NYC-based producer, Jai Wolf, just passed his track "Starlight" onto Goldroom for a remix. Goldroom, an LA man of "shuffling feet and melting souls," just gave the single a dreamy, ethereal treatment. The flip is introduced to listeners with a near-ominous foreward, combining tunnel vision sounds and a glowing reverb. The down tempo, kick-drum build up later drops into a dominating, bouncy production. The entirety of the song is ambient, but never sleepy. It flickers with warm lyricism, while musically capturing its psalm, "drifting through a memory, wake up in your crystal sky." It's a starry eyed remix- soft, charming, and saccharine. The chemistry that links the two artists is apparent with this track, defining that rare synergy between two producers. Get spacey with Goldroom's remix of Starlight on Spotify

"I've been listening to a lot of weird drugged out house music in the deep corners of YouTube and I wanted to turn this remix into a bit of a weird romantic desert trip." -Goldroom
