THE VIBE GUIDE 016

Soundcloud is such a great way to get exposed to new music, and lately we have noticed that our feed is being filled with all sorts of people sharing tracks.  99% of these people who are sharing are actually artists, reposting their label mates, or their homies, or just stuff they are listening to that they found on Soundcloud.  So, we decided to make THE VIBE GUIDE - a weekly installment on Beautiful Buzzz where you can check out what producers, music enthusiast and taste makers want you to hear!  Enjoy!  

LUCA LUSH - HIT THE QUAN

I'm skipping out of my option to sit in traffic on my way home from the city - and I have found myself at a Starbucks in Marin County suburbia where things are very white washed - so let's put a little color into the current vibes, shall we! Our homie Luca Lush is bringing that bass game strong with his new jam "Hit The Quan" - he wanted to bring something a bit heaver into our lives, so y'all can get low! Just saw this kid destroy his set at TBD Festival .... all kinds of good feels for Luca Lush! You can grab this track as a free download HERE! 

HOODBOI - PALM READER FT. LIDO (JESSE SLAYTER REMIX)

Just after announcing our next LA Take 2 Ent. show where we are teaming up with Fool's Gold Records to present Brenmar + Hoodboi  - I noticed this new remix from young Jesse Slayter on the old SC feed and was like ..... oh snap!  His version of "Palm Reader ft. Lido" by Hoodboi is the first from the upcoming Palm Reader Remix EP - due out next week. They are off to a promising start with this one, Jesse Slayter piles on the layers of delicious future feels! Get into this one kids! 

THE KNOCKS & MATTHEW KOMA - I WISH (MY TAYLOR SWIFT)

Just as summer is coming to an end, The Knocks release a new original track that is 100% a summer anthem. "I Wish (My Taylor Smith)" is filled with poolside tropical funky vibes for days. These New York legends always know how to bring mad grooves, and Matthew Koma's dreamy vocals make us long to be back in the sun in Los Angeles! I've throwing a Halloween party with The Knocks next month in San Francisco, and the line-up is sick! If you are in the Bay Area, come join me and 3,500 other people at The Armory on OCT 30 -- tickets are almost sold out so grab yours HERE! 

L D R U - KEEPING SCORE FT. PAIGE IV

Awwww snap! My little angel baby sent straight from heaven L D R U has dropped a new original today. and I'm feeling all kinds of warm and fuzzy about it! This Aussie legend has made my 2015 something special; we kind of love each other! Besides being super sweet and loving, L D R U throws mad game with his beats, whether he's remixing Flume or producing for his duo project Carmada, this blonde bombshell has got shit figured out! "Keeping Score ft. Pagie IV" has L D R U flavor spread all over it with his distinct future feels with tropical undertones .... so delicious! You will get into this immediately if you know what's good for you! 

NIKO THE KID - ALL RIGHT (ORIGINAL MIX)

Hello Buzzzers say hi to Atlanta newcomer Niko the Kid. I read that he's been in the game for a bit producing tracks for Akon and Waka Flocka Flame (credit: Fresh New Tracks), but recently decided to strike out on his own. I heard his other track "Slip Away" recently (which is awesome btw link here) and when I saw this track come out I knew I had to give it a write up. This one is a gem! Straight honey dosed house vibes in the beginning bring us into a dreamy breakdown that builds into a groove of straight epicness! Be looking out for this kid he's got some more fire coming I'm sure. 

BLACKGUMMY & LOUIS VIVET - DEEP BOUNCE (ORIGINAL MIX)

It's bass o'clock this Thursday at BB, and BlackGummy and Louis Vivet have come together to give us a grinding electro house jam that perfectly fits its name. "Deep Bounce" is exactly what this moody flamethrower of a track is all about, gut punching kick, bouncy bass and energetic high trills all wrapped up with a glitchy vocal chop. Halloween is right around the corner and I wouldn't be surprised to hear this song being played out. Available as a free download.

MAHALO - FAMOUS FT. CAT LEWIS (ORIGINAL MIX)

Like You's a Beyonce, Madonna or a Katy Perry...Hollywood, you better be ready for this one! Our homie Mahalo has brought us a deliciously smooth track featuring the pitch downed, falsetto and even rapping Cat Lewis. I think Cat decided to just pull every vocal trick out of the closet with this one and we couldn't be more pleased! Mahalo features Cat's vocals around a tune that strikes a delicate balance between party grooving bumps and smooth nu-disco vibes like a drive down sunset at 2am. I think Mahalo maybe foreshadowing a little with this one! Famous...you f***in Famous!

THE WEEKND - THE HILLS (RL GRIME REMIX)

For those of you who have still not heard this new remix, hold onto your hats and glasses because THIS is what getting that gold means ... huge! RL Grime reworks "The Hills" by The Weeknd and the electronic music world freaked the fuck out.  Yesterday it went up on Soundcloud only to be taken down minutes later, but it looks like it's all been sorted now. RL Grime gets out his bass heavy guns and shoots off a big fat bulls eye - this is about as good as it gets!
