KWEKU SAUNDERSON - DO US

Music, Original MixErin MaherComment

I have something very new today, and this one is going to give you all the feels! New York producer Kweku Saunderson has released a fantastic track "Do Us" that is mixing Techno, House and Hip-Hop R&B vibes together for a perfect balance of yum! All the ingredients are accurately measured out to create a super tasty dance track with some serious groove. Kweku wrote this song to win back his girlfriend - and I'm thinking it probably worked! Swoon! You can swoop this from iTunes HERE!  

BLU J x INDIGINIS - HALLUCINATING FT. MOLLY MOORE

Music, Original MixErin MaherComment

I've been trying to get to this one for a few days now - and I think BLU J's manager - who is a BB boyfriend - might break up with me unless I get this posted like I said I would! But I mean, it's a siiiick jam so no skin off my back - and we love BLU J around these parts! They teamed up with INDIGINIS on "Hallucinating ft. Molly Moore" to create this fresh future beats collab will all kinds of steamy bass feels! I'm totally loving all things about this one, and you can grab a free download HERE!

NADERI - IVERSON

Music, Original MixEricComment

Naderi has had a breakout year so far. From whispers of being flume and What So Not's writing partner, to actually releasing killer records (check out his epic remix of Big Grams' "Drum Machine" ) Naderi is on fire and doesn't seem to be slowing down. A couple days ago he let loose this dance floor heater of a remix of Post Malone's "White Iverson." Thank god it's Friday because this record is certified weekend friendly. With gut punching bass, mystical pads, bright swinging synths and vocal warps this track is ready to be inserted into your party playlist. Round up the squad and get ready to get down. You can nab this as a free download here

FOREIGN AIR - ECHO

Music, Original MixHarrison MorganComment

Does it ever happen to you where you hear a new song for the first time and it gets you super pumped to do something good in the world? That's how I felt when I heard "Echo" by Foreign Air - a melodic anthem with some larger-than-life production that sounds like something straight out of Lion King (if the soundtrack were reproduced by an indie-electronic band). The use of natural instruments such as the piano and drums make a much more pleasing sound to the ears, and I haven't stopped replaying it since I came across it. You won't regret checking this one out

AMOS & EMILY - FIERCE LOVE

Music, Original MixEricComment

The good and bad side of music blogging is that I get sent a lot of emails. I really do try and read as much as I can, but a lot of times great tracks slip away and I don't get around to supporting them. I feel bad because I know how much time and effort it takes to create a buzzz worthy tune, but  on the flip side I get super excited when I get sent tracks like this gem from newcomers Amos & Emily. At this point I don't have a whole lot of info to give you other than that the duo is Australian born Amos Wellings and Emily Leary currently living in London. "Fierce Love" is their second release and is full of juicy ear worms to dive into. The pre-chorus builds with piano and pads swelling into an infectous chorus with magical arps and pumping synths. They have tight harmonies and story like lyricism adding to the mystique of the single. This group is young, but I sense a bright future ahead. You can grab this single on iTunes here and Spotify here

NAATIONS - KINGDOM

Music, Original MixErin MaherComment

Here's something brand spanking new for ya kids! I'd like to introduce you to NAATIONS - your next favorite Aussie electro pop duo. NAATIONS pairs together Van She's Nicky Night Time and Nat Dunn, and they are creating some pretty awesome sounds that I think you'll go bananas over! I've actually been pretty excited about this project for some time, Nicky has been the ultimate homie and part of the BB fam for years, so I've heard all about NAATIONS and the excitement behind it. "Kingdom" is the first single to drop and it's so delicious ... you have to get into this one! Keep your ears open for more fresh jams from NAATIONS, we'll be covering it for sure! 

DENM - GREEN

Music, Original MixErin MaherComment

Oh DENM -- everything this kid is putting into the world is perfection! This Los Angeles electro pop artist is slaying with this soulful dance grooves and wistful vocals, and his next original "Green" has got me feeling some kind of way.  DENM drops his debut EP, Dreamhouse, on August 26 - definitely something you can't pass up! Get into this one kids! 

BRASSTRACKS - MELANIN MAN (FEAT. MASEGO) + GOOD LOVE EP

Original Mix, MusicEricComment

I have to show some more love to Brasstracks. They have just had a killer year so far and I've absolutely loved all of their releases including the 'Good Love' EP which was just released last Friday. We actually had the pleasure of hosting Masego at our SXSW showcase last March, so when I saw these two teaming up I knew this was going to be something special. "Melanin Man" is everything I hoped for and more. The track is funky, soulful and yep super horny with an ice cold smoothness that's like non other. Masego hits the vocals with flair, the drumming keeps its snappy while the horn arrangements accent with pin point precision. This is a total jam and deserves every bit of support it can get. You can purchase the 'Good Love' EP on iTunes here, or stream on spotify here.

LINCOLN JESSER - LOST WITH YOU

Music, Original MixEricComment

Lincoln Jesser is back with his third release on the iconic Spinnin' Deep imprint. Following up on the hugely successful single "Time Will Tell," Lincoln is back on the vocal duties for this one. "Lost Without You" seems to be a perfectly fitting name for this release due to the mesmerizing nature of the lead piano/synth line. The way the melody winds its way around leads you to feel like you're wandering a peaceful forest with no direction nor end in site. Good thing for us the journey is the destination and the journey feels soo good. The bass hits perfectly to keep you dancing while Lincoln's vocals and the light flute work at the end entrance us into an auditory mirage. Speaking of which, Lincoln also just announced that this single is the first from his Casa Mirage EP coming soon. He also just launched his own Spotify playlist of the same name featuring a mix of chill, deep, funky, and euphoric tunes that he happens to be vibing with at the moment. You can find that playlist here, and you can hear "Lost With You" on Spotify here.
