It's elementary my dear Watson. Golden Coast is back with a killer new tune that's channeling your inner childhood. Working sucks, sometimes you need to just go outside and run around and Golden Coast has just the soundtrack. "Recess" is a beautifully simple yet effective tune, that smirks as it plays along. The opening synth bobs set the jovial tone as the massive claps groove us into the first verse. The "Hey's" chime in as the half falsetto vocals proclaim "I just want to go to recess." I love the high school marching band like drumming at the end, music supervisors beware Golden Coast has made a terrifically syncable tune with this one. Regardless Golden Coast is keeping the summer vibes very much still alive as we're nearing the beginning of September.

KID FROOPY - BB (FOUR MISSED TEXTS)
Music, Original MixCommentAh yes another great Moving Castle release this time courtesy of yung newcomer Kid Froopy. "bb (four missed texts)" is a upbeat electro pop record I'm dubbing future pop, with all sorts of earworms to dive into. The track starts energetic with light airy synths and piano before diving back down with a smattering of guitar strums and ambient pads. As the record picks back up with the vocals we're introduced to more spritely guitar licks and bass. The vocals lightly anchor the top end as the synth work bobs and weaves around the percussion. My favorite part comes about 2:50 in when we're treated to a breakdown with terrific arp work building us back up through the end. This original comes right after an excellent release of Kid Froopy's energetic remix of Hoodboi's "Closer ft. ASTR." There's a bright future ahead here, but for now you can grab this track on retailers here.
PEGBOARD NERDS & NGHTMRE - SUPERSTAR FT. KREWELLA (DNMO REMIX)
Music, Original MixCommentThis makes the second artist I've supported in the last week or so, that has embarked on the sometimes necessary re-brand. Being a musician myself I know how important a good transition can be, so I'm excited to introduce and support DNMO with his first release a killer remix of the dynamite collab "Superstar." This young british producer (only 15!) cranks it up to 11 with the quick melodic build bringing us into a full bodied, bitcrush fueled drop that surprises and entices. He's flipped the hyped original into a slower, bass blowing gem with a consistent vox chop leading the way ahead of the deep sub and bright wide saws. Already receiving support and finding it's way into the hype machine popular chart, we have no hesitation lending our support to this up and coming producer as well. Be looking out for more bassy goodness coming from this camp. You can nab this as a free download here.
CHOICE - THE SWEET SPOT
Music, Original MixCommentIf you cruise up to Santa Barbara, take in the beautiful scenery and dive into the thriving music scene there, you're likely to hear about Myles better known by his stage name Choice. The singer, producer and DJ has put together a breakout string of singles amassing over 1.5 million streams across soundcloud and youtube, and he's just getting warmed up. Landing features with the delicious Tasty Treat for "Simple Things" and a release on esteemed collective Hegemon for "A King's Reserve," today I'm bringing his latest "The Sweet Spot" to your ears. The name really hits the nail on the head for this one. The track is full of sweet, melodic and bassy goodness. The beginning is ambient with deep anticipation as the verse begins and takes us up into the vocal chop filled chorus with a stabbing synth line, flowery saw synth blasts and melodic arps. The beat hits a slower four four about 2 minutes in making this track dance floor ready. Our sugar intake is on maximum with this cut, Choice really does hit "The Sweet Spot." Out on the Echelon collective you can nab this as a free download here.
GIGAMESH - HISTORY (FT. DAMON C SCOTT) + TIME TRAVEL VOL. 1 EP

The way he floats the synth stabs, arps and vocals around the rhythm equates to some of the creamiest dance music. "History" is a total gem, an instantly classic tune that grooves with spritely drumming, bumping bass, and iconic synth work that brilliantly fills out the instrumental below Damon C Scott's luxurious vocals.
