Original Mix
K?D - GLASS
Music, Original MixCommentWell, we certainly called this one! Probably the biggest breakout artist in the EDM world (at least in our world) for 2017 is K?d. From day one we knew we had something special here. Today he drops a new original "Glass" for our listening pleasure. It's a little bananas on how many tracks he puts into the world, and they are all so good! This latest one has that future vibe with big dance floor builds and a slight video game quality under deep bass beats. Delicious! K?d does it again! Grab a free download HERE!

LOUIS THE CHILD - LAST TO LEAVE FT. CAROLINE AILIN
Music, Original MixCommentHappy New Year kids! If you are a BB follower, you may have noticed we have been rather quite the past few weeks! 2017 was both a great and tough year for the BB team - we've all been adulting with new jobs, moving to new cities, family situations, cancer .... it's been a hell of a year! Now that we're in 2018 - it's time to pick things up and start fresh and get back to what's most important .... the music! With this, my first post of 2018 will be for my loves Louis The Child. Over the past few years I went from twisting arms to book their first show in LA to not being able to find a room big enough to put them in. Their live show may be out of my reach, but they will always be my bb boys. Massive love for this yung duo! Their latest original 'Last To Leave ft. Caroline Ailin" is officially my jam for 2018 - we out here!
JENAUX & BRYCE FOX - SENTIMENTS
Music, Original MixComment“Future funk” producer Jenaux and Bryce Fox are a match made in electronic collaborator heaven on “Sentiments”. Fox’s bright yet soulful, gritty vocals are a perfect complement to the dense combination of deep-grooving synths, piano hits, guitar licks and drums. I never really imagined blending funk vibes with the builds and drops of future/EDM, but Jenaux proves that with the right swung rhythms on your sidechains and vocal chops you can induce a fun “funk face” in your listeners and get them bobbing their heads.

AXEL MANSOOR - TALK TO ME
Music, Original MixCommentMillennial behavior is criticized in the media on what seems to be a day-to-day basis, most of which Gen Y is unabashedly proud of—challenging mainstream capitalism, redefining how America digests art, and ultimately reshaping the American experience. While this radical group of young adults are pioneering a new way of collective thought, much of it is done with the use of technology, a medium where ideas are often misconstrued. In regards to millennial romance, this digital miscommunication can prove disheartening, and worse-off, entirely fabricated. Combining conceptual, generational philosophies with a multi-dimensional myriad of instruments, singer/songwriter Axel Mansoor captured a new age in a mere 4 minutes and 35 seconds with this single "Talk To Me." The track is a gentle, charming and welcoming piece that challenges what it means to make people move. Using predominantly traditional instruments, Axel fills the spaces between each shift in chord progression with his soft, palpable psalms. His vocals pour out of the depths of his soul, kissing his lips, almost audibly, as it makes its way into our ears. It's slow, yet moving, soft, yet demanding. Moreover, the music video release of "Talk To Me" perfectly encapsulates the mantra of the song. Undoubtedly an unorthodox video, this moving picture is made of entirely of real-time Snapchats between two romantic suitors, one of which, seems to be falling for the other. With Axel playing the main character, viewers and listeners alike are welcomed into a delicate space of his creative mind—you laugh, you cry, and you feel with this video. The release of "Talk To Me" and its visual counterpart are incredibly thought out, touching, and is set to blaze trails for the way millennials look at, and utilize their every-day technology.

SNUGS - RADIO SILENCE (FEAT. HAILZ)
Music, Original MixCommentWith a name like Snugs, it’s gotta be good. This is probably the most uniquely branded DJ/Producer project I’ve ever seen, and the music is actually great. Little is known about Snugs, other than that the face of the project is an adorable light blue blob with a snaggletoothed smirk and the slogan “Get Comfortable.” But what I care about is whether the music is good, and as mentioned, it’s great. Debut single “Radio Silence” featuring vocalist HAILZ is a bright and shimmering dance pop record with effervescent and meticulously crafted production that will make newbie Soundcloud producers’ jaws drop. Within this one release, there’s hooky songwriting, high-energy builds and drops, sonic easter eggs, and loads of smile-inducing vibes. I’ll have this one on repeat for a while.
