Alright - everybody pause!! I have a great new band for you!! Want some indie electro dance brit-pop?? Yes?? I know we talk a ton of nu-disco and electronic bands over here, but there is always room for a great pop band in my heart - and Coasts have invaded my soul! I am a huge fan of British boys in bands already, so this is a real treat for me! Already making waves in their home country, Coasts deliver powerful heart pumping tracks that you can feeeeeel - know what I mean?? I am happy to say that they are coming to the states this fall, and they will be playing a Beautiful Buzzz show - which I'll be announcing soon - so keep a look out! Coasts are going to be dropping a new Oceans EP sometime in the next few weeks, and you'll find this single "Golden City" there! Coasts - I left my heart in London too!! Amazing!!
CHELA - GUTS (HUMANS REMIX)
CommentHumans is a Canadian electronic duo I love - who I believe should be getting way more attention than they have been. They have a great sound, a little on the dark and smooth side, but definitely have a sound of their own! Humans dropped a remix of "Guts" by my girl Chela - so good! Grab this one as a free download.
FLORRIE - WANNA CONTROL MYSELF (FIGGY REMIX)
CommentFriday took forever to get here! This week has been stupid - I stayed in bed a little bit longer this morning so I could start off this day outside of a state of extreme frustration. Thankfully this track came up in my soundcloud feed! Figgy has given us a sexy remix of 'Wanna Control Myself" by Florrie. This east coast producer always delivers super viby smooth jams with steady funk behind them - perfect to keep things chill.

STRANGE TALK - YOUNG HEARTS (VIDEO)
CommentI just took part in a Facebook conversation where old people (my age) were complaining about how there is no good new music, and no good new live bands - so I called them grandma and told them to wake up! There are so many amazing new live bands, and Strange Talk is a perfect example! Being a concert promoter, I think I have a pretty solid grasp on this subject, and Strange Talk have played a number of my shows in the past year... crushing it!! Total babes! I am so happy I don't sound like those people who are old haters, and that bands like Strange Talk are in my life! Check out their new video for "Young Hearts" - you can Shazam this video for a free download of "Young Hearts" remix by The Chainsmokers!

NAMELESS - 7 DAYS IN THE SUN (BIT FUNK REMIX)
CommentAlright kids - I'm in a mood today, a Nu-Disco dance mood! It's gonna be nothing but fresh disco jams! The sun is out, it's actually warm in the bay area, summer is almost here, and I am super excited about some upcoming shows we are about to announce! Dance party - all day! I have had a few super fun nights with this sweetheart of a music maker - New York based producer Bit Funk gave us a new remix of "7 Days In The Sun" by French band Nameless - and it's definitely setting the mood for the day! Bit Funk rules - everything he touches is bananas good!
MS MR - HURRICANE (GOLDROOM REMIX)
CommentBOOM! Every time Goldroom releases remix I have a phenomenal day! Not only do I get to listen to his new remix of "Hurricane" by MS MR one million times today, but the super tropical vibey summertime beats can take me to my happy place - away from my computer and the stress of every day life. I am a slave to my job, which is what I love, and getting to work with dudes like Goldroom is the payoff! Just to prove my point - it is now 9:25 PM and I began writing this blog post at 10 AM, and guess what happened?? I got shit done while listening to this track over and over, answering two full pages of emails and confirming some pretty amazing shows! Goldroom just makes life better!
