Ok I'm gonna keep the heat streak going right here. This is the first time we've done a post about this well traveled artist and wow what a story! A college dropout, metal drummer and refugee for a summer, Imad Royal has seen some days. Eventually ending up in LA from Lebanon fleeing the numerous struggles going on over there, Imad has made short work of the music game with fantastic original productions "Down For Whatever," "Passenger" and now "Vagabond." "Vagabond" starts low key, but the vocals arrive quickly setting the tone for the rest of the tune. Equal parts R&B, electronic and pop this track has some legitimately broad appeal. The track is somewhat moody, but yet darkly majestic with such a great hook with the line of the record's title 'vagabond.' Excited to see the tremendous potential in this up-and-coming talent.
Original Mix
INSTRUM - NIGHT ROLLS (FT. SOMNI)
Music, Original MixCommentOh man it's been a busy week for music, and I know it's not gonna get any less for a while. Good problem to have though because we have soo many tasty jams to send your way! Instrum is no stranger to our home page, and we were lucky enough to have premiered his Chainsmoker's "Roses" and A-Trak's "We All Fall Down" remixes. Well now we saw that Instrum has released his first major single "Night Rolls" out on the Armada Deep imprint. Infusing tropical sounds, deep bass, guitar and infectious lyrics by Somni, Instrum is setting the bar high for his first original production. So excited to be involved in this evolution of a spectacular up and coming talent.
STEPHEN - SINCERELY
Music, Original MixCommentWow we just can't get enough Stephen. Track after track he's been making major tunes with spectacular production, elegant vocals, moving lyrics and YES bluesy guitar solos. We've been watching this rise happen over the last few months and we're so excited to see that everyone is now jumping on the bandwagon because it's well deserved. "Sincerely" is a politically infused rant against the money grubbers and elite that continue to exploit our democratic system for their own benefit. "Can you hear that darlin', a revolution's callin', no child of ours should have to starve should have to die for us." Oh come on not only are you putting out spectacular music, but you're creating a movement as well??? Well it's about time...world say hello to Stephen he's gonna be around a while. He's also posted spring tour dates in the SoundCloud description of the song and you can get tickets here.
COLOUR VISION X RICHARD GREY - PIÑA ELECTRIQUE
Music, Original MixCommentOh hey look at this! One of our good buddies and overlord of our blog brethren Paradise Ultd. Colour Vision just put out a tropical banger to get us jumpin' in anticipation San Diego's burgeoning music festival CRSSD Fest on March 5-6th. Collaborating with Richard Grey, "Piña Electrique" is a thumping tropical infused house track with a driving bass line and a funky synth flare that has me grooving hard this Thursday morning. This is a cool example of how to turn the tropical sound into something that has a harder appeal, something i'm expecting to hear more of this year. You can catch Colour Vision drinking tequila and spinning tunes at 'The Palms' stage at CRSSD Fest on March 5th.

Music, Original MixCommentOhhh I've been waiting for this one to come out! Eric Sharp is the man. We had a fantastic time chattin' it up and talking music one sunny Sunday afternoon when we were on a boat out in the Pacific hanging with some friends. Afterwards he sent me this tune and I was super excited to throw some support behind it. Featuring the breathtaking vocals of Gavin Turek, Eric has crafted an superbly smooth love house ballad that wraps you up in a warm embrace of pensive synths and lounge piano.

[PREMIERE] OPTION4 FT. ROSE QUARTZ - LOVE IS LONELY
Music, Original MixCommentI know I have mentioned this in the past, but the day I was introduced to option4 through a mutual friend at SXSW a few years back was one of the best days ever! This sweet soul became a permanent part of my life, and since then has been a such an inspiration and always supports me with whatever I have going on - he's one of the special ones! And, so talented ...OMG!! When he asked if I would be interested in premiering his new original track "Love Is Lonely ft. Rose Quartz" I was like ... duh!! option4 has taken a different approach with this one, and I am loving everything about it. His deep house sound that we know and love still resonates, but he's put this sexy somewhat darker feel over the top and this incredible groove that pumps throughout ... it's brilliant. I'm getting some serious Bob Moses vibes! You guys really need to get into this one - and you can grab a free download HERE!
