[PREMIERE] NINTH CHILD - READY

This morning has been full of premieres which we're super excited about. Next up I have the ultimate pleasure of getting to introduce to you Ninth Child and her new single "Ready." When I first met her and her manager they explained to me that she was a spoken word artist with bass heavy beats and an experiential performance. At first I was like hmm that sounds really interesting, but then I got to see Ninth Child live and it all made sense! I'll let the music speak for itself, "Ready" starts us quick with a build then chills off as her ethereal vocals chime in leading us to the bright and bassy future breakdown. Hyper hi hats, melodic arps, soaring vocals and even a whoah combine to entreat us into dancing for a few sweeping moments before being brought back down again. The ending leaves us entranced with a smooth outro accompanied by more dreamlike spoken word as we're drifted off into silence. This is an exciting start for Ninth Child, and we know much more lies ahead.

[PREMIERE] LUCIAN - FLY BY NIGHT (FEAT. NOÉ)

Lucian has been slaying sexy and really interesting bassy remixes for the last year (check out his Alessia Cara mix). We've recently been treated to his first original "Forever (feat. Remmi)" and today BB's been graced with the opportunity to premiere "Fly By Night." Something about the harp just gives me a smile and the harp is up front and center in this mix. The rhythm starts laid back and groovy supporting Noé's lovely vocals. As the vocal chorus builds into the dance break, Lucian's expressive flaring synths wobble our way forward. Beautiful and poignant, yet still somehow robust and hype, Lucian strikes a wonderful balance between the delicate, the intricate and the exciting.

[PREMIERE] DESTRUCTO - 4 REAL FT. TY DOLLA $IGN x ILOVEMAKONNEN (NIGHTOWLS x ODEA REMIX)

Just a few short weeks ago I was melting in Palm Springs along with 1/2 the world during that great big festival in the desert! I don't actually go to Coachella - thinking about spending hours and hours in the sun buying $5 waters and $15 hamburgers while dodging thousands of 20 somethings who are more concerned about their outfits than the music gives me anxiety! I go to Palm Springs during Coachella for the pool parties and after parties because usually my friends are either playing these parties are throwing them. This year I was introduced to Los Angeles duo Nightowls by their agent, and they actually told me how much they love BB and all the artists we support! About 3 minutes into our conversation I knew Nightowls were the homies, and then they let me hang out in their air conditioned room and drink their booze - two very important things to have when at Coachella! This next premiere comes from my sweet new friends Nightowls who have teamed up with new mystery producer ODEA to deliver this fire remix of "4 Real ft. Ty Dolla $igh x ILOVEMAKONNEN" by Destructo. The boys went hard with huge bass beats and glitchy rhythms that will make the club go off with super high energy vibes. Everyone likes a little bass in their face - so swoop this one for free HERE! 

STEPHEN - YOUR LIFE + NEW LP 'SINCERELY'

Stephen's quick rise to prominence has been absolutely incredible to witness. Record after record he's sculpted wildly enjoyable, thought provoking, genre defying, emotionally charged music that has, to say the very least, impressed. I've been waiting for his 'Sincerely' LP to arrive and now that it has, we can look back and enjoy what has occurred and appreciate the groundbreaking tenacity of this young artist.

As a constant purveyor of electronic music, sound design is often the focal point of my discerning ears: the way in which sounds and oscillators are combined with filters and matrixes to construct musical notes unlike anything in current existence. It is this movement of scientific musical advancement that keeps me intrigued and addicted to music discovery. While Stephen has developed a sound design uniquely his own, he has also married it to blues guitar, and piano breathing new life into a relationship that for some new listeners has become seemingly antiquated.

However the ingenuity doesn't just stop there, lyrics make music relatable, singable and above all emotional. In a day and age where many pop lyrics are simple placeholders for notes or rhythms, it is easy to forget about the powerful impact thought provoking lyricism can provide. Lyrics and societal frustrations have always been interwoven, which is why music has continued to be such a beautiful catharsis. It's 'Sincerely' refreshing to see all of this come together in such a robust way.

According to Stephen,

"My album is a story of triumph, of letting go of all the uncertainty in my head and learning to walk the path of my own heart. Sincerely's about realizing how much better this world would be if we all loved ourselves, if we weren’t afraid of being vulnerable and honest. It doesn’t matter who’s president or what technology we invent or what extremists we destroy, the only thing I know is this:

"There will never be peace if we do not all love ourselves."

"And so I believe my generation needs a revolution. We don’t love ourselves. We are trapped in our heads because we were told to figure it all out and in our failed attempts we stopped having fun. We abandoned everything we loved doing because we thought it was slowing us down. We thought growing up was the process of holding on instead of letting go, and now we’re all collapsing under the weight. We don’t know what to do anymore."

"But we can do so much. We can change the world. We have to stop complying to the doubts in our heads and start following our hearts. We have to stop judging each other and start accepting ourselves. We have to stop living selfishly and start giving back. We have to have the courage to take a chance. My generation has all the power if we work together. This is my invitation to the ones who love."

Stephen's album is a perfect realization of where I thought music of the 2010's would be heading, but yet hadn't quite eclipsed. Music artfully crafted using the old with the new. Skillfully articulated and performed with such prowess that I see this album as a exciting roadmap of what lies ahead. Many have pointed out that much of a decade's defining music comes from the latter 5 years and with 'Sincerely,' the music of the 20teens takes flight.
