Future Soul

NAWAS - SO LOW

Music, Original MixEricComment

Admittedly I'm a huge sucker for pop melodies and familiar chord progressions, however I also love hearing new music with some serious edge to it. Let us introduce you to NAWAS. Now based in Nashville, NAWAS has delivered a dark indie pop, sort of R&B/soulful sounding record that has a rich instrumental and even some rapping. The deep lyrical content puts an intellectual microscope to the record, further expanding it's appeal. According to Jake Nawas the song is "about discovering life on a higher plan of existence and how the pathway to enlightenment may affect one's relationship with God." Sounds existential ha ha, but I'll keep things simple and state that this is just a dope track!

[PREMIERE] MAKO - WAY BACK HOME (TASTYTREAT REMIX)

Music, PREMIERE, RemixEricComment

Well it's Friday, and I should know better at this point, but I guess Friday has become the new Tuesday so we've got a slew of amazing new music coming at ya! We've got yet another Get Buzzzed alumni (I gotta say our SXSW show was on point!) TastyTreat throwing it down with an amazing rework of Mako's cinematic single "Way Back Home." The boys have taken the single and put a dancier tone to it, all the while keeping much of the original's essence. Mako's vocals really are the heart and soul of the record and TastyTreat keeps them intact all the while building to a near perfect future drop with airy bright synths, triplett wobbles, deep sub and a splash of piano like melody that locks it all together with a bow. What a great way to get hype for the weekend! You can nab this on digital retailers courtesy of Ultra Records here.  

ILLENIUM - TOP 5 SUMMER JAMS (LOW TICKET ALERT)

Music, Original Mix, Remix, Top 5Erin MaherComment

LOW TICKET ALERT
Guys! Our Illenium + Said The Sky show in San Francisco on May 14 is almost sold out! These tickets went so fast! I'd definitely swoop them now before they are gone! 

Illenium is pretty much everything right now!  A few weeks back he released his full length album Ashes which is packed full of the most dreamy future feels anyone could ever ask for! He's also announced a big spring tour which is selling like crazy - and we are psyched to be a part of it all! Today Illenium offers up his Top 5 Summer Jams for us to vibe out with! 

Ember Island - Need You (Gill Chang Remix) 
Ember Island is one of my favorite vocal groups right now.  The vocalist is like a mix of Ellie Goulding and Purity Ring and Gill Chang absolutely crushed this remix.  Love the intricacy and vibe.

Mako - Way Back Home
This has been on repeat for the past 2 months.  Mako is so awesome at creating an intense and organic atmosphere and these vocals and harmonies are absolutely perfect

Mitis - Foundations ft. Adara
Mitis has been a favorite of mine for a while now and this new original stands out to me as one of his best tracks.  The intro and vocal bring me in immediately and the drop is super unique.

Evangeline - My Kingdom (William Black Remix) 
Will Black is on the come up and has been putting out super solid remixes recently.  I love the groove on this one and the vocal chop is money.  Some of his unreleased stuff is amazing too. Definitely check him out.

Tommy Trash - Luv U Giv (NGHTMRE Remix)  
NGHTMRE is one of the most consistent producers I know and this remix is so sick.  I love the old school vocal vibe mixed with his future bass sounds.  Always love hearing his new tunes.

SHIFT K3Y - GONE MISSING (BRASSTRACKS REMIX)

Music, RemixErin MaherComment

Brasstracks tho! We've been hooked from day one! This creative duo is mixing so many genres into one completely original sound, how can you not go bananas mad over them!  Their version of "Gone Missing" by Shift K3Y is saturated with that signature Brasstracks big future soul indie dance sound - this one is off the hook! Swoon! Gotta get into this one kids!
