It's not a mystery that I have a total fangirl crush on this Denver based producer, I talk about Illenium all the time actually. I think everything he's done in the past few years has been nothing short from brilliant - his songs are so lush and dreamy, I can listen to his originals and remixes on repeat for days! Today Illenium drops his debut full length album Ashes and we are gushing! With a combination of indie dance, electro pop, future beats and soulful R&B vibes, each track is a little piece of heaven. It's pretty rare that we feature an album, but this one is special and we think everyone should know about this masterpiece! I've picked a few tracks to feature here, but for a limited time you can download Ashes for free HERE!

GIRAFFAGE - MAKE YOU LOVE ME

It's been so awesome to watch our friend and total legend grow, and on this day of love he's given us something very special. I was trying to stay away from the computer today, but when something is this good .... good to where multiple people sent me texts saying "That new Giraffage tho ....." it cannot simply be overlooked! Many of you youngsters may not know that "Make You Love Me" is a song from one of the most talented female music makers we've known, Bonnie Raitt. Original track dropped in 1991 - and me being the old lady that I am, remember this song and used to sing it at the top of my lungs with my mom! Good times! Giraffage has put this signature future feels R&B sounds all over this beautiful ballad - it's pretty much the best thing I've heard in a minute!

Music, Original MixCommentHappy Valentine's day everybody! I hope you have awesome plans today with that special someone. Hot off of the success of their Pink Cloud EP, The Pegboard Nerds are bucking the usual trend of a valentine's ballad choosing instead to release a heater of a track entitled "Heartbit" featuring the howling vocals of Tia. Their branding it as a #WorkoutAnthem with electro house synths and heart-stopping basslines. This single gives a taste of what we can expect to come from the nerds on their North American circuit.

LOUIS FUTON - WASTED ON YOU (FT. ROZES)
Music, Original MixCommentI can definitely re-tell the story of the first time I heard this track - last 4th of July stuffed into my friends car with Louis Futon and JackLNDN after my boat party in Long Beach - but really we've all heard it and well, maybe I want to focus more on the track than my story behind it ..... who am I kidding tho, it's a great story! This track blows me away as much as it did last summer when I was sitting in that car thinking .... fuck this is really really good. Yesterday Louis Futon dropped "Wasted On You ft. Rozes" via Foreign Family Collective and the world can finally feel the awesomeness that I did ..... because wow! Swoop this one on iTunes HERE!
LAZYBOY EMPIRE - VAMPIRE (AOBEATS REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentOur besties over at Moving Castle have been busy during the first weeks of 2016! Can't be mad about that at all - we all know they are putting out some of the most fresh and creative music happening in electronic music - kinda breaking the mold and creating a whole new style. There are a ton of future beats artists out there, Moving Castle seems to be able to tap into the goods, because it's all about taste and this little label + collective is on point! East Coast producer AObeats stole my heart when he flipped a Diplo track almost 2 years back - and I've been keeping a close watch ever since. This week he drops this awesome new remix of "Vampire" by Lazyboy Empire! Ummmmm is so delicious!
BOB MOSES - TEARING ME UP (RAC MIX)
Music, RemixCommentOhhh I've got a jam to get you bumpin' and thumpin' this Friday! RAC just keeps em coming release after release. This time he's done a damn right sexy rework of Bob Moses' already incredible single "Tearing Me Up." The way the bass and synth layer together creating the laid back swung groove is just absolutely killer. The arp synths in the background fill out the vocals with ease. This track is a bullseye, it has attitude in a bite your lip, pull down your sunglasses raise one eyebrow and stare from across the street kind of way. You can nab this on iTunes here.
