One of our favorite Swedish producers is back with another disco dance floor gem! For some years now we have been loving all things from Tobtok. I'm sad that he's only come to the states once .... it's like I have withdraws from him because his sets are such fire! At least we can enjoy this new track "Rooftops (Aber) ft. Sorana" and wow ... it's packed full of booty shakin' energy. "Aber" was released towards the end of 2016 as an instrumental solely for the club circuit. Tobtok is now back with a vocal version of the single which is geared towards the summertime feels with luscious vocals from singer/Songwriter Sorana. "Rooftops (Aber)" officially drops tomorrow so don't sleep on this one!

WIN AND WOO x BRYCE FOX - CHICAGO
Music, Original MixCommentA collaboration to be remembered, Win and Woo teamed up with Bryce Fox to drop a beautifully nostalgic track- "Chicago." Named after Win and Woo's hometown, "Chicago" is a feel good track at its surface. But, once you delve deeper into its complexities, it's a story of pain and longing, encompassing the reality of being a human in a harsh, contemporary climate. This heavy-hearted single possesses lyrics that are healing in its dark relatability- a "cry-to" song, simultaneously adorned with a windows-down, highway-drive vibe. This compatible trio has crafted a melodic warmth that is both unnerving and comforting. Mixed to a T, neither the lyrics nor the production contradict the other. Win and Woo and Bryce Fox have absolutely executed this track, capitalizing on an already popular sound, while remaining true to their personal aesthetic. Listen to this ardent track on Spotify now.
LENIS - TOLD HIM
Music, Original MixCommentSan Diego based future-R&B queen, Lenis, just released her debut single, "Told Him." Although she is new to the scene, her music is far from novice. This rhythm and blues super-babe is rapidly launching into success with her freshman track. Embellished with girl power and feminine liberation, "Told Him" is a lyrical treasure laced with wistful, bubbly production. More of a pulse than a beat, Lenis' single is layered with confidence, sensuality and effervescent lyricism. Lenis possesses a voice that encompasses the sound of champagne bubbles- intoxicating, stimulating, striking. This unfettered, irresistible queen is holding down the fort for industry females and consumers alike. And to all the boys- her fierce, seductive force is tailor made for you too. But for those of you who can't handle her wit, as she so modestly confesses in her new track, "this beauty queen ain't got none for ya lame ass." Jump on the Lenis bandwagon now and watch her blossom into the limelight- stream "Told Him" on Soundcloud or Spotify now.
SLOW MAGIC - MIND (FEAT. KATE BOY)
Music, Original MixCommentAfter a painful amount of time since his last original release - we at BB are absolutely ecstatic that Slow Magic is back on our pages!! It was a long wait, but damn it makes this new tune feel soo good. "Mind" is a groover of a new record in just the vibey slow magic fashion that we all know and love featuring the breathy vocals of Sweden's synthpop duo Kate Boy. The tune envelopes you with cascading sound while still maintaining a sense of calm as you're floated into his magical beats. We don't know what else is happening albumwise, but a string of new tour dates, and a new single have us thinking there's a lot more announcements soon to come. Stream/Download on your digital retailer of choice here.
RAC - I STILL WANNA KNOW FT. RIVERS CUOMO
Music, Original MixCommentRemix wizard and indie-electronic favorite, RAC just teamed up with Weezer's head honcho, Rivers Cuomo to release a dreamy, synth pop single prior to the release of his highly anticipated album, "EGO." A co-write with Classixx, "I Still Wanna Know" is an 80s-esque summer hit, garnished with pleasantly hazy production and angsty lyricism. It's a bubbly banger with a transition at 2:29 that gives it a rock 'n' roll edge. The song's ethereal instrumentals take you on a trip- from crying about a break up, to dancing in the sun. RAC released a statement with the track saying, "I was the kid at summer camp that would sit in a corner with a walkman trying to figure out how to play Weezer guitar riffs. Never in a million years did I think that I would end up writing a song with Rivers himself." I think it's safe to say that the collaboration doesn't disappoint. "EGO" is set to release July 14 and you can pre-order it here. In the mean time, make sure to add "I Still Wanna Know" to your summer Spotify playlist!
