Gonna keep things chill here with another one of our Get Buzzzed Austin SXSW alumni JAHKOY. Produced by "Mighty" Mike McGarity of Kolaj, "all of You" is a sun soaked ballad that's as smooth as the spring breeze that's been sweeping over LA the last couple days. Piano driven with minimal drumming and bass with smatterings of guitar, JAHKOY shines over the track once again showing us his vocal prowess. The falsetto chorus hook "All of You" is deeply infectious and sparks this track off! As a treat we've also been given this as a free download so nab that here!
Original Mix
BLUBIRD - WAKE UP
Music, Original MixCommentAhh back to the grind. If you're feeling a bit of the Mon-daze that I am then you are really going to appreciate this one from London via Slovenia based BluBird. "Wake Up" is an energetic upbeat feel good record that is totally wiping the sleep from my eyes. A deep kick, synth stabs and claps accompany a fun guitar line filling in the instrumental underneath a relaxing female voice urging us to "Wake Up! Sun is shining for you!" Out via our homies over at The Vibe Guide you can nab this as a download or stream here.
OTERO - WAITING FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU
Music, Original MixCommentIt's not every day I come across a producer from Caracas, and I just happen to stumble upon this one by accident really! It's one of those times I read the book by it's cover - I loved the artwork so I decided to listen! Wow! I've just found my new favorite thing this week - and it's Otero! This new track is so on point with it's obscure vocals over heady future beats - it's bananas good! Grab a free download HERE!
TWIN WAVE - MATADOR
Music, Original MixCommentWith us walking up the doorsteps to Coachella, South By merely moments ago and festival season completely upon us, it's hard not to walk around with a smile. For music lovers we have reached the mecca of musical paradise: Spring and Summer are finally here! This new track by Twin Wave has exactly the kind of upbeat energy that I'm vibing with hard right now. Sunny bright guitar, a quick rhythm and a totally infectious chorus vocal hook that fills out the instrumental with ease. The Brooklyn based trio has been honing their sound since 2013, but have found a great stride with this new dream pop sound. They cite it lies somewhere between the likes of Future Islands and the Police and I couldn't agree more. I'm excited to hear more from this trio, consider me officially on board the bandwagon!
KOLAJ - THE TOUCH
Music, Original MixCommentI'm having a little case of the Mon-daze today still reeling from our epic show Friday night with Goldroom. In typical fashion I'm turning to music to pull me out of my funk and get me back on the up and up, and this new track by electronic pop duo KOLAJ is just the thing. Sea breeze guitar, tropical sounds and energetic bass combine to fill out the comforting instrumental underneath lead singer Teesa's wonderful vocals. KOLAJ has been releasing some really fantastic music recently. Their previous single "100 Degrees" has been a favorite since it came out and "The Touch" really follows suit.

Music, Original MixCommentWhen Lido dropped the video for this track yesterday, my FB feed was full of all my industry homies sharing the link and saying things like "we're all inferior" or "we're not worthy" and I think I am gonna have to agree with the masses on this one.
