LOUIS THE CHILD - LAST TO LEAVE FT. CAROLINE AILIN
Music, Original MixCommentHappy New Year kids! If you are a BB follower, you may have noticed we have been rather quite the past few weeks! 2017 was both a great and tough year for the BB team - we've all been adulting with new jobs, moving to new cities, family situations, cancer .... it's been a hell of a year! Now that we're in 2018 - it's time to pick things up and start fresh and get back to what's most important .... the music! With this, my first post of 2018 will be for my loves Louis The Child. Over the past few years I went from twisting arms to book their first show in LA to not being able to find a room big enough to put them in. Their live show may be out of my reach, but they will always be my bb boys. Massive love for this yung duo! Their latest original 'Last To Leave ft. Caroline Ailin" is officially my jam for 2018 - we out here!
JENAUX & BRYCE FOX - SENTIMENTS
Music, Original MixComment“Future funk” producer Jenaux and Bryce Fox are a match made in electronic collaborator heaven on “Sentiments”. Fox’s bright yet soulful, gritty vocals are a perfect complement to the dense combination of deep-grooving synths, piano hits, guitar licks and drums. I never really imagined blending funk vibes with the builds and drops of future/EDM, but Jenaux proves that with the right swung rhythms on your sidechains and vocal chops you can induce a fun “funk face” in your listeners and get them bobbing their heads.

DANA AND THE WOLF - HIM
MusicCommentI'm excited to share this one for you this weekend. You could say it isn't our usual BB fare. "We are not a Christian Rock Band," epic dark pop duo Dana and the Wolf cry on their social media. After releasing clips of the overly-charismatic 1950's preacher Billy Graham juxtaposed with the dark instrumental from their new song, "Him," the LA based duo apparently received several DM's asking if they'd turned religious.
But a close listen to their new song reveals that vocalist Dana Hobson and producer Daniel Wolf are anything but religious. "I gave it a go / gave it a roll / you don't approve of what I'm gonna do / be someone new," sings Hobson in an Amy Winehouse torching-manner. Is she singing to a man, or the ultimate "Him" up above?
"Him" the track is an exciting and refreshing take on modern pop music, with elements of theater, hip hop, future bass, trap, it's a cinematic banger soundtracking this couple's life. There's word that more releases are in the pipeline very soon from DATW. I'm excited to say the least.
AXEL MANSOOR - TALK TO ME
Music, Original MixCommentMillennial behavior is criticized in the media on what seems to be a day-to-day basis, most of which Gen Y is unabashedly proud of—challenging mainstream capitalism, redefining how America digests art, and ultimately reshaping the American experience. While this radical group of young adults are pioneering a new way of collective thought, much of it is done with the use of technology, a medium where ideas are often misconstrued. In regards to millennial romance, this digital miscommunication can prove disheartening, and worse-off, entirely fabricated. Combining conceptual, generational philosophies with a multi-dimensional myriad of instruments, singer/songwriter Axel Mansoor captured a new age in a mere 4 minutes and 35 seconds with this single "Talk To Me." The track is a gentle, charming and welcoming piece that challenges what it means to make people move. Using predominantly traditional instruments, Axel fills the spaces between each shift in chord progression with his soft, palpable psalms. His vocals pour out of the depths of his soul, kissing his lips, almost audibly, as it makes its way into our ears. It's slow, yet moving, soft, yet demanding. Moreover, the music video release of "Talk To Me" perfectly encapsulates the mantra of the song. Undoubtedly an unorthodox video, this moving picture is made of entirely of real-time Snapchats between two romantic suitors, one of which, seems to be falling for the other. With Axel playing the main character, viewers and listeners alike are welcomed into a delicate space of his creative mind—you laugh, you cry, and you feel with this video. The release of "Talk To Me" and its visual counterpart are incredibly thought out, touching, and is set to blaze trails for the way millennials look at, and utilize their every-day technology.

SAID THE SKY & FRND - FADED
MusicCommentThese guys are literally two of my favorite new acts out there right now, so when I heard they were releasing a collaboration I was excited to say the least. “Faded” comes to us from producer/artists Said The Sky and FRND, the former having risen to prominence for his lush emotional future electronic compositions such as “Rush Over Me” feat. HALIENE (with Illenium and Seven Lions) and the latter for his sugary alternative/electronic pop bops such as “Substitute” and “Be Happy”. Both artists are unique and recognizable in their own rights, and both make you feel something with their music. This collaboration is no exception. A release via MrSuicideSheep’s Seeking Blue label in partnership with Crooked Paintings, “Faded” features the best characteristics of both collaborators. FRND’s neo-alternative songwriting, vocals and signature choppy/modulated sound design are complemented by Said The Sky’s gorgeously melodic, orchestral, future bass style. I’ll be blasting this one all winter long as I drive around sunny LA with the windows down and the sunroof open.
JOJI - WILL HE (MEDASIN REDO)
Music, RemixCommentI know we are all counting down the hours to get us some of that Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow night ... but before we stuff our faces and celebrate being thankful to do so, we need to have some sexy time .... and Medasin is bring all the sexy time with this new track! His remix of "Will He" by Joji is dripping with vibes, it's straight sex on a plate! His easy going R&B sound under slow sultry future beats and soulful vocals ... it's impossible to not love this one! All the feels!
