BEAUTIFUL BUZZZ

LOOSID - CLOUDS FT. RAYCE JONES

Music, Original MixErin MaherComment

Ugh .... this is so good!  /ˈlo͞osid/ always seems to drop the sickest tracks at the perfect time - I've actually had this one on repeat for the last few days, and only just now getting around to posting on BB.  We've been watching this young producer grow over the past year, and we've pretty much loved all things he's put into the world.  This new original "Clouds ft. Rayce Jones" is a brilliant combination of deep bass future feels with angelic like soulful vocals over synthy melodies - yes please!! You guys can swoop this one from iTunes HERE

DUGONG JR FT. TASHKA - SECRETS (YESYOU REMIX)

Music, RemixErin Maher1 Comment

I was just telling the boys over at Moving Castle that I was so happy they put out this new YesYou record - it kind of makes me feel like I've come full circle with this Australian duo! I have supported every move they have made since day one, and now they are rollin with my Moving Castle fam, and have evolved into making some of the most brilliant music ever! This new YesYou remix of "Secrets" by Dugond ft. Tashka is a beautiful combination of funky indie dance mixed with future beats that is perfection - totally original and totally awesome .... pretty much made my week! You can grab a free download HERE

GET BUZZZED 2016 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: XYLØ

Get Buzzzed Artist Spotli, Event, Live Concert, Live Set, Music, Original MixErin MaherComment

Coming at ya! We're now only 5 days away from our Get Buzzzed Austin 2016 Showcase!! If you haven't RSVP'd yet what are you waiting for??

In anticipation for this epic event we want you to get to know a few of our fantastic artists. Without further ado we present another chapter of...

THE GET BUZZZED ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: XYLØ

Q1. How old were you when you first started making music? When did it become serious?

I didn't start taking music seriously till I was 18 when I started working with Chase. - Paige

I was very young. Our grandfather is a jazz drummer and studio percussionist, he had me on his lap at the drum set since the day I could hold sticks. He gave me one of his drums kits when I was about 9. I remember playing to CDs like Rage Against the Machine, Weezer, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Green Day, Jackson 5, Earth Wind and Fire, Toto, Led Zeppelin.. I had played my first show at 10 and had my first recording session experience at 11 at Capitol Records. At this point I was hooked. I was strictly a drummer until my early 20’s when I got my first laptop and protools. This opened my world up to the possibilities of making music on my own. I eventually got into co-writing songs with artists and making a living getting my songs licensed in commercials and tv shows as well as composing music for adverts and major brands campaigns. This is what lead to Paige and I working together and creating XYLØ. I had asked her to work on a project with me for a brand and our chemistry excited me. Things just seemed to click. Things moved really fast and I ended up dedicated all of my time just to XYLØ. - Chase

Q2. Whether it’s a remix or an original, what is the first step you take when writing a track?

Sometimes it can be different, but usually I start out with chords on the piano and a rough beat. Then melodies ideas. And some ear candy stuff for vibe. Once this is down I feel like this helps with what the lyrics are going to say. The music almost speaks first and tells you what needs to be said and what the songs going to be about. - Chase

Q3. What is one of the best moments you've had so far in your career?

Hearing Zane Lowe premier our song Afterlife was a unforgettable moment. Besides that I think XYLØ in general to me has been the highlight of my musical struggle and journey. This is my baby and it's incredible to see the response we've got so far. I think it's amazing that I get to share this together with my little sister. - Chase

Playing my first live show ever which was with XYLØ about 6 months ago.- Paige  

Q4. What is another BUZZZworthy artist that inspires you and why?

Chaos Chaos ‘Do you Feel it’. I really like the sounds and the production. Nice voices. - Chase

Q5. Of all of your releases, which one is your favorite and why?

America just because it was the first song we released a year ago and it's what started it all basically for us. Not knowing what to expect and then hearing it on the radio and #1 on Hype Machine was really exciting. - Chase 

L.A Love Song is probably my favorite because I love singing that song live. We were suppose to release a different song originally and then last minute we wrote this one and we were like “ we need to put this out asap” - Paige

ANNABEL JONES - IOU (AOBEATS REMNX)

Music, RemixErin MaherComment

In 24 hours I'll be in Austin getting ready for the insanity of SXSW - and this year we have a number of Moving Castle artists  playing our party - so today we are gonna kick things off with some tracks from our favorite little collective!  AObeats released this rad remix of "IOU" by Annabel Jones  earlier this week and it's delicious!

ALUNAGEORGE - I'M IN CONTROL (THROTTLE REMIX)

Music, RemixEricComment

Ah I gotta take a second to support this fantastic new remix from the Melbourne dirty disco G Throttle! Coming off his elemental Earth Wind and Fire "September" remix that broke the internet, and a killer collaboration with Oliver Heldens for "Waiting" that I've already heard in numerous mixes floating around the web including our Young Bombs Buzzzmix. Now he's done a near perfect rework of AlunaGeorge's snappy single "I'm In Control." Combining hype disco horns, guitar, deep house bass, sexy saw synths and smooth pads, Throttle has thrown down on this record. Perfect to get your Friday night started! You can Shazam this tune to grab the download.

[PREMIERE] GRANDTHEFT - QUIT THIS CITY (PUSHER REMIX) [FT. LOWELL]

PREMIERE, Music, RemixErin MaherComment

Our homie Pusher just dropped his latest remix via Mad Decent - and we are psyched to premiere this bad boy for y'all this morning! We met Pusher last year at SXSW, and he made a lasting impression with his fire set and super fun hangs! This remix of "Quit This City ft. Lowell" by Grandtheft is all things amazing - with that Pusher signature sound of glitchy beats and future feels, you have to get into this one immediately.  Swoop this bad boy HERE!  Also, if you are in Austin for SXSW next week - Pusher will be playing our SXSW show Get Buzzed once again, and we'd love for you to come out and get your dance on! RSVP HERE!

GOLDROOM - TOP 5 SUMMER JAMS (LOW TICKET ALERT)

Top 5, Music, Original Mix, RemixErin MaherComment

LOW TICKET ALERT
Guys! Our Goldroom (Live) show in San Francisco on April 8 at Mezzanine is almost sold out! These tickets went so fast! I'd definitely swoop them now before they are gone! 

This is a very fun day, because being able to bring you a Top 5 Summer Jams from someone like Goldroom is pretty special! This legend is one of our besties, and it's been such an amazing journey with him over the past few years! I actually debuted his live set at my SXSW show in 2013, and we've been together ever since! Legend! He's put together a great selection of discolicious deep house jams that will have us longing for our wild summertime nights! Goldroom has a number of US West Coast live dates coming up, including Coachella, so check his schedule HERE and get out to a show!  We'll see you in San Francisco! 

CHVRCHES - Leave A Trace (Goldroom Remix)
My latest remix and something I made with summer in mind. This is the kind of song I imagine playing at sunrise, right at the close of a night spent out with your friends. 

Bag Raiders - Magic Feel
This is my favorite thing that Bag Raiders have done in a minute. There's some transportation about the vibe here. Emotional stuff.

Janet Jackson - Pleasure Principle (Classixx Remix)
I do boat parties during my High Seas Tour every summer and I think I played this excellent Classixx rework at pretty much every party last year. 

Elohim - Xanax (Moon Boots Renmix)
I've tried writing songs called Xanax more than once. They never work out. This one did.

Fred Falke It's A Memory (Oliver Remix)
Two of my bigger production inspirations on one song together. There's something special about driving around with this song blasting.

[PREMIERE] PJU FT. RIVER - SAY YOU LOVE ME

PREMIERE, Music, Original MixErin MaherComment

Good morning world! I'm currently running 2 hours behind in life, and as I kick off this busy day all I'm really hoping is that I don't get washed away from all the rain and flooding happening in my little NorCal town!  How lucky are we tho, because our besties over at Perfect Havoc handed me this tasty premiere of "Say You Love Me ft. River" from British duo PJU! It's deep house heaven, and I love it! PJU release this new original with the sweet and soulful vocals from River over synthy melodies and funky dance beats ... it's the perfect vibe with all the good feels! Released today via The Vibe Guide - you guys can swoop this one HERE
