This week has been really hard personally - when life gives you lemons we are to make lemonade - but sometimes you can feel like you're drowning in it. So, this morning I am gonna try to get to some of my favorite tracks that have dropped over the past few days for all the rad feels, and this new Tim Gunter remix of "Afterlife" by XYLØ has topped the list. This Austin producer has added his flavor to the already amazing track and vocals by XYLØ frontwoman Paige, with awesome future beats over a dark sexy tone ... I love it!

[PREMIERE] KAP SLAP - FELT THIS GOOD FT. M. BRONX (KAP SLAP VIP MIX)
Music, Original Mix, Remix, PREMIERE, VideoCommentSo this is a special kind of premiere today, and it's super tasty! This summer Kap Slap released "Felt This Good ft. M. Bronx" and then produced this awesome chill VIP Edit that dropped via Ultra Records a few weeks back! So today's premiere is actually for the first blog posting of the track, and this fresh new video to go along! This VIP mix gives off a fantastic acoustic future pop feel that I am 100% loving! It's the perfect track to kick back with on viby summer evenings, hanging with friends - gotta get into this one immediately!
TRACE - LOW (THOREAU REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentI love it when friends of mine remix other friends of mine. It just feels good...like the squad is crankin' out dope tracks while at the same time supporting each other. Well Trace has been on fire since her debut just a short few months ago, she's gone on to release this single "Low" with Next Wave Records, and just released her debut 'Low' EP on Spotify today! Harry aka Thoreau has done what is sometimes inevitable in the music world, but is coming out on top. Moving on from his former group SummitScape, Harry has successfully re-branded as Thoreau and is ready to take the future bass scene by storm with this his first official Thoreau remix...and what a remix it is! This record is smooth as silk, with a fantastic vocal chop leading the way ahead of layers of bright synths, reverb piano and ohh yess electric guitar! The track is emotional, smooth and yet still somehow hype as the choruses envelope you in cascading sound. Well this is just the beginning for Thoreau, he recently sent me a picture of his sick new studio and I know he's ready to make the best of it. You can nab the "Low" remix as a free download here.
Disclosure: Thoreau is managed by Beautiful Buzzz writer Lindsey Oh
[PREMIERE] HOODBOI - CLOSER FT. ASTR (KENDE REMIX)
PREMIERE, Music, RemixCommentI am loving the B Side releases for remix EPs that have started to become a trend as of late! Mostly they are versions that did not make the EP, but were just too good to ignore. I imagine it has to be pretty tough narrowing down which remixes are officially released, etc - there are so many super talented producers making great music, and with all the politics this industry contains ... glad it's not my job to make the call. Today's premiere is from a brilliant young newcomer Kende with his fresh flip of "Closer Ft. ASTR" by Hoodboi. This Swiss producer has layered light glitchy beats over big builds and sick vocal drops for so many future feels - I'm kinda obsessed with this one! Kende crushed it! Out now via Fool's Gold - and you can swoop it up HERE!
MIDNIGHT FACES - HEAVENLY BODIES (FRED FALKE REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentFrench disco house and funk master Fred Falk quietly released this remix a few days ago, so quietly in fact that is almost slipped under my radar! Good thing I have a pool party in SF coming up with this legend and was pulling some music for event posts when I saw this gem! Fred Falke has spread his rich funky flavor all over this remix of "Heavenly Bodies" by Midnight Faces! Delicious! August 14 at The Phoenix Hotel he'll be playing sweet sweet jams at our monthly pool party The Skinny Dipp! If you're in San Francisco - grab them tickets HERE!
[PREMIERE] PJU FT. JAVI - COMING BACK (TOBTOK REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentI have this habit of totally falling for Swedes - they seem to be everywhere in my life over the past decade and some of the best friends I have ever made live in that beautiful country. When I started hearing tracks from this Swedish producer a few years back, my first thought was how was it possible a Swede was producing such great disco - I thought it was all about the metal! Not for my sweet friend Tobtok ... he feels that 4 on the floor disco vibe hard and has continued to crush all the music he puts into the world. Last month Tobtok and I finally met in person and well ... we had a wild night of dancing and laughing ... safe to say we are bonded BFF's for life now. So, today's premiere is extra special - and totally delicious! Tobtok delivers a smooth disco house remix of "Coming Back ft. Javi" by PJU that is bright and bouncy dance floor fire. Once again ... crushing! Get into this one kids!
MAJOR LAZER - COLD WATER (JUPE REMIX FT. GIANTSPIRIT)
Music, Remix1 CommentYou won't learn much about this young producer through socials or on the interweb - he's taking the anonymous rout - so this means he/she is producing under multiple names, or they want you to think they are, etc. etc. Just the other week I was hangin out with a certain producer and he tells me he is also another producer - one I have actually blogged about in the past and I didn't even know it. I digress - Jupe is pretty much the shit and now I am wondering if he's already someone we know! We've seen him drop some awesome mixes with our homies, and was featured on the last Hebinomichi compilation .... so he's running with the right crew! Last night he dropped this new remix of "Cold Water" by Major Lazer featuring GiantSpirit and I am loving all the things about it. Who are you Jupe? You're rad! Swoop that free download HERE!
ANNABEL JONES - HAPPY (K?D REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentOMG a new K?d remix and I'm totally bananas over it - shocking!! It's like every two weeks I get my own personal party in the BB office from this young producer - he's just crushing all things and I'm into it! K?d has put his big future feels sound to "Happy" by the lovely Annabel Jones and it's rad! K?d is unstoppable! Grab a free download HERE!
SELAH SUE - FEAR NOTHING (KULKID REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentKulkid gives me all the feels - I mean his tracks are always tops and not gonna lie, he's kinda dreamy. I may have mentioned this dreaminess on past Kulkid posts, I can't remember and it's too early to care, it's truth tho. One thing I never get mad about this funny industry I work is being surrounded by big talent and dreamy boys! Swoon! A few days back Kulkid dropped this rad remix of "Fear Nothing" by Selah Sue - an epic sounding dance anthem which he created as an outro for his live shows. Works for me! Start your Wednesday off right and get into this one!
