Louis The Child + Pell = Pellican Child. This one is very fitting considering I am still battling a hangover from Wednesday night's Louis The Child after party we threw .... ouch! What a year for my bb boys - the "2016 worst year ever" curse seems to have passed up these yung legends - Louis The Child have absolutely crushed. This new project with experimental soul artist Pell is something pretty special, mixing the easy going dance vibes and delicious R&B hip-hop vocals. Feels! This is their first release, and from what I am told we are gonna get more goodies in the new year!
Original Mix
GOLDEN COAST - MAKE YA MOVE + GOLDEN COAST EP
Music, Original MixCommentWell it's finally arrived. I think we've posted damn near every single from Golden Coast's amazing debut 'Golden Coast EP' and today I'm totally thrilled to bring you the last single "Make Ya Move." A sheer delight to listen to, the duo has channeled their west coast vibes into a perfect distillation of pop indie rock in this tune. I know it's December, but this new single instantly takes me away into the warm green re-birth of spring driving down the best coast with the top down. According to the guys: "Make Ya Move was our attempt to kind of throw off some of the traditional song-y rules and do something just purely fun. Kind of tried to channel our inner Macklemore or Bruno and talk a little over-confident swagger. Think it’s our favorite dance tune to date." I couldn't agree more, let the head bobbing, toe tapping, throw my hands up dancing begin, and just in time for the weekend! If you're feeling this tune, like I know you will, go ahead and throw on their entire EP it's well worth the ride.
EMMIT FENN - BLINDED
Music, Original MixCommentGet ready for some serious feels on this one. Relatively new LA-based producer/singer/songwriter Emmit Fenn exploded onto the scene last year with his captivating “Painting Greys” and he’s finally back with a stellar follow-up. His fresh style can be characterized by modulated vocals, a fusion of innovative electronic production and classically-inspired instrumentation, and an undeniable sense of introspection. While “Painting Greys” maintained a fairly minimal approach, “Blinded” is more of a grand ballad in which he makes further use of gentle piano and soaring strings, building with percussion into quite the cinematic presentation. Watch this guy in 2017 — there’s bound to be some truly amazing things coming soon.

MAKO - LET GO OF THE WHEEL + HOURGLASS LP
Music, Original Mix, AlbumCommentOk this was was a must today. I had the ultimate pleasure of seeing Mako's first ever live show last night, and damn Alex and Logan absolutely crushed it! So a little backstory, the guys have undergone a transformation over the last year moving from their dance heavy roots into a full indie pop soiree that is ready to take on the world! Their new live show has strings, guitars, keys and drums with Alex's vocals leading the way. I've also had the pleasure of hearing their upcoming Hourglass LP due out next Friday December 9th, which is also amazing and is currently available for pre-order here. Let's tap into "Let Go Of The Wheel," this final single from the LP might just be the best of the album. The tune starts warm and relaxed with an uplifting arp and pads filling out the instrumental behind Alex's first verse. As the guitars slide in leading us into the pre-chorus, the track explodes into massively uplifting chorus, full of cascading melodies of vocal ooh's, and layers of sound full of sun soaked strings, pads and a punchy snare/clap. "Let Go Of The Wheel" is a beautiful exposé of their new sound, poised to keep us warm and in high spirits as we launch into the Christmas season.
LAKUNO - ECHO FT. BAHAR DOPRAN
Music, Original MixCommentAussie Lakuno and UK based Bahar Dopran come out of nowhere with a track that stays light on its feet, but delivers a punchy drop that gives me chills. Every time I hear something fresh coming out of Australia, I question my life choices that led me to somehow not be in Australia as I write this. Where can i find this "easy access to idyllic beach" filter and is it on Amazon Prime? Keep an eye out for these two newcomers and you can download/stream this single on your fave retailer here.
