FRND - MOVIES + IN YOUR DREAMS EP

Well the secret is out. The mysterious FRND has stayed ambiguous for months hiding behind the guise of a colorful Koala animation. But now with the release of his debut 'In Your Dreams' EP we've learned that FRND is none other than producer Andrew Goldstein, producer for a huge variety of big names including Britney Spears, Linkin Park, Robert Delong, Andrew Mcmahon, Celine Dion among others. I had the pleasure of seeing his debut live performance here in LA, and man I can't wait to see where this train keeps going. Our other writer Mike and I kept saying during his show that this music somehow brings us back about 10 years to the myspace days of Never Shout Never, Postal Service, and Hellogoodbye with the feel of indie rock meets electronica. Regardless the music is impeccably produced from start to finish and this latest single "Movies" is spot on again. With youth like exuberance and even children vox samples in the beginning FRND is definitely tying his music to that aesthetic, and we're totally ok with that. As the chorus drops in you can't help but bob your head. We hope there will be many more shows ahead as the EP continues to garner even more support across the web. 

JOSHUA MORIARTY - R.T.F.L.

Josh Moriarty who we at BB know well from his work with Miami Horror has launched into solo land with this first single "R.T.F.L." a sexy jam from a forthcoming 8 track album titled War Is Over. This tune has a lot to unfold with layers of group vocals filling in the backseat of a slow rolling musical Cadillac trudging forward into a hazy skyline of grooving percussion and somber pads. The beat really keeps things moving with pace as the Josh's vocal tone captures your interest. I love Josh's quote regarding the tune, "It is music to make you feel (at least for a moment) that you are not alone, to capture in aural form the ephemeral grace of existence. Yet, on the other hand the music is mere art for art’s sake, completely useless, beautiful for the sake only of beauty. A dichotomy of point and pointlessness. War Is Over is designed as a modern day opus of existential desire, longing, sensuality, and what it means to human." With the amount of feels packed into a short 3:57 I can assure you the point of this tune is simple desire. 

[PREMIERE] ELEMENT - HOME TO ME FT. EILEEN TIFFANY

[PREMIERE] JANELLE KROLL - BARRICADE (TYZO BLOOM REMIX)

Janelle Kroll has been crushing it lately. "Barricade" was a really cool tune with such an infectious wave of a melody on the lyric "Barricade" that just makes you smile. So I was pretty excited when I got sent another Tyzo Bloom remix of Janelle ripe for our ears. This remix starts rather ethereal with child like bells and piano whisking us away as we're launched into the familiar tropical marimba tones on top of bobbing sub. Tyzo makes ample use of vocal warps throughout the remix that sound not too distant from whistles. The original was light, even jovial and Tyzo has simply enhanced those feelings while making us feel warm inside.

CONRO - CLOSE

Monstercat's Conro just dropped his affable, future bass track "Close." This Canadian-born producer is revered for his flexible and versatile approaches towards electronic music. He found his calling in music via passion for the violin, later taking on roles in the indie-rock scene. Once his unorthodox journey into the world of dance music led him to his alias as Conro, his ability to cater towards any sub-genre of EDM, defines his versatility as a producer. "Close" takes facets of what is already popular in modern music, and adds a very distinct layer to it- a Conro layer. The single has a warped accent, pulsing with his signature sound. It's a simple track, but riveting nonetheless. "Close" is a track that is summery, and boisterous. Add "Closer" to your summertime Spotify playlist to feel its colorful energy.

[PREMIERE] KENDL - HOLDING ON FT. TIGER DARROW

Electronic music is morphing into a vast melting pot of cosmic sounds and indefinable resonance. Once criticized for lacking artistic substance, and contributing towards youth rebellion (as all great music should), today, EDM is a broad term for a genre that is actually a spectrum of various energies, tones, emotions, and musical approaches. Melbourne-based producer, Kendl, is a testament to the righteous, nameless nature of electronic music. His latest drop, "Holding On" ft. alt-folk super babe, Tiger Darrow, is a wavy, indie-fusion with seductive implications. The echoing lyricism coincides like a yin and yang with the production- giving rise to each other as they aesthetically interrelate. The ongoing guitar riffs throughout the track are unmistakable, proving to be its most defining facet. "Holding On" pays tribute to music that reaches far beyond the influence of electronic production. Kendl walks a fine line between risky and fantastic, and this collaborative track proves that he is now delving, head first, into the fantastic. "Holding On" is the 2nd single from his highly anticipated, forthcoming EP, "Colours." Get with this sultry, indie-psychedelic track via Soundcloud, and Spotify. Kendl, we love it.

Emerging German producer Kyco is new to the BB pages - so we welcome him with open arms with his latest original "Little Bit Closer."

REZZ x 13 - DRUGS

Pretty sure Rezz is crushing harder than anyone right now! She's been dropping a new track every week from her forthcoming full length album Mass Manipulation out on AUG 04 via mau5trap. With her undeniable signature sound, Rezz has been giving all the boys a run for their money. This most recent track "Drugs" with fellow Canadian producer 13 mixes her dark electro and somewhat sinister techno sound with some wobbly dub flavor for what I would call .... FIRE! You guys can grab a pre-order of that new album HERE! 

NVDES - DO YOU THINK ABOUT ME

I'm all about the new music NVDES has been releasing in the last few months. He was featured on a Pierce Fulton track a while back "Better Places" that eventually became the name of his new album, and is most notably known for his single "The Other Side". Most  of NVDES' music features indie rock guitar and bass reminiscent of The Strokes or Gorillaz, but of course with his own flare and a hint of electronics just to blend it all together. This tune is a groover of a record and is a perfect beach ready tune for your summer adventures. Listen over on Spotify here.
