THIRD FLOOR x OLSEN - LOST IN YOU FEAT. BOSWELL

The reinvention of pioneering genres in contemporary music is a tactic to be revered. Keeping old-school tunes alive is necessary, but the execution of such is no easy feat. In tri-collaboration, Third Floor, Olsen, and Boswell co-created an unstoppable alliance that combines vintage reverb with contemporary cadences. Their artistic compatibility shines with the release of "Lost," a nu-jazz track with a deep-house foundation, and the sensual tendencies of R&B. A track likened to the sounds of Disclosure, "Lost In You" is dreamy, robust, and meditative. It's energy is compelling, seductive, and cozy leaving your senses revitalized. As a writer I have the tendency to scribe my opinions in the third person, avoiding personal bias. But, "Lost In You" forces me out of my comfort zone, demanding respect- I. Love. This. Track. This romantic piece is one of the best musical compositions I have had the pleasure of listening to in months; I am nothing short of stunned by this jazz-fusion psalm. Check the original track, and it's coinciding remixes ASAP.

ERIC SHARP - TAKE THIS TIME FT. ZHAO

Eric Sharp has returned with a chill new original "Take This Time" with repeat vocalist and indie soul singer Zhao. We posted their last record "The Thirst" and ya know when you've got a good thing going you repeat it. This is a mellow house tune that's relaxing and breezy to listen to. Eric says about the tune, “'Take This Time’ speaks directly to the reality that individual closed mindedness is literally costing human lives on a consistent basis. If people could open their minds and hearts more, a much better world is possible. Currently we seem stuck in cycles of hatred and otherness. The song is imbued with a deep sadness around this fact, and a more general poignancy around missed opportunities and unrealized potential,” Incredible truths that we can't promote and re-iterate enough, and oh by the way also pairs perfectly with fantastic music. This tune is the first single from Eric Sharp's forthcoming EP "Eric Sharp and Friends" set for release in early 2018. 

TIM GUNTER - RUNNING AWAY

Surrounded by support, and a staple name in the "come up," LA-based producer Tim Gunter drops, "Running Away," an intoxicating future-bass masterpiece. Despite his current residence in the city of angels, Gunter's hometown is none other than "the live music capital of the world," Austin, TX., where much of his influence is drawn from. His style of production is fluid- each note transcends the other with a swift, seamless transition. Approachable and familiar "Running Away" is both introspective, and high-energy. Electricity radiates in every direction filling your senses with movement and both potential, and kinetic energies. A crusade of genre-blending aromas, and intentional syncopation, "Running Away" is a frequency of it's own. 

[PREMIERE] BRONZE WHALE - HIGH (FT. 5-D)

Bred in the live music capital of the world, Bronze Whale of Austin, TX has solidified their come-up in recent months with their future synth aromas, and formidable chemistry. The duo's artistic vision is restless, ever-expanding. Their latest unveiling, "High" combines electrifying waves of synth production with brooding hip-hop verses from a second Austin duo, 5-D. With a rounded out synergy, "High" is a lightening-in-a-bottle track with a cosmic resonance that expands BW's musical reach and highlights the depth of their dexterity. Drawing inspiration from their city, the track echoes with individuality giving birth to a new-age sound of dance music and rap. "High" is rich in energy- an atmospheric expulsion of colorful, audible waves booming with syrupy production and finely tuned bars. Volume up.

THOREAU X TINA DECARA - ILLUSION

After a slew of successful remixes, our boy Thoreau has finally released his first original, and it was certainly worth the wait. His latest effort, an exploratory future bass record "Illusion" is an epic tune from the second you hit play. It starts with string plucks and sound effects as ethereal ahh's lead us in to Tina Decara's first verse. The tune envelopes you in pulsing gyrations of sound right after she sings "I'm High on the way that it feels" leading us into an impactful chorus with an energetic rhythm section and warped vocals. The second verse brings in Thoreau's signature blend of beats and rock guitar. We've come to expect a spicy blend of guitar and synths in most of Thoreau's productions, and this one falls right in line. Illusion is a dope addition to his growing catalogue of sweet tunes and is a proper advancement in his sound.

For the unawares, Rusty Hook, aside from his contribution to the Slow Hours project, has been lurking around SoundCloud racking up millions of plays and drawing off the oldest heads on the platform. He has been building his cv and biding his time, but now he is ready to release his first original project, Romance is Dead, Good Riddance. The first single of the compilation, ‘Relief’, features smooth and colorful vocals from brother-sister duo Truitt. Rusty Hook’s production on the track blends R&B with electronic, leaving a lasting impression. Combined with the sultry lyrical delivery of Truitt, the track truly shines.
