VÉRITÉ - UNDERDRESSED
Music, Original MixCommentSwoon! I have had a girl crush on this lady here for a minute! We have been big supporters of this New York band from day one - over the past few years they have played our SXSW shows, our CMJ shows, and we just love everything about VÉRITÉ! This new track "Undressed" is so amazing -- packed full of this incredible sad emotion that I think all of us ladies (and maybe most men) can relate with. This is like a fantastic electro-soul journey into the dark area of one's soul .... it's beautiful and heartbreaking and I love it more than anything right now! You can swoop this one from iTunes HERE!

MOONZz - TOP 5 SUMMER JAMS
Top 5, Music, Original MixCommentIt's the first of March - which means for us on the west coast, summer is just days away! So, it's time to bring back our Top 5 Summer Jams for 2016 - where we feature an artist's voice on tracks they are listening to, making, or just loving - either way it's all things amazing! Our girl MOONZz is kicking things off which I could not be more happy about - she's been killing it lately and we love to show her love whenever we can! She has selected a very dreamy group of jams that would be chill on any summer's eve ... solid! Thanks MOONZz for setting the mood!
MOONZz - Deja Vu
This song is just so close to me that I had to pick it.Through it all, I wrote this song that helped me cope and ultimately rise above a toxin in my life. Dejà Vu is a feeling I've felt before - the rawest form of heartbreak - and then happily haunting the one that hurt me most.
RÜFÜS - Say A Prayer For Me
I've been lucky enough to meet the talented trio & it's been the best feeling to hear how far they've come. Tyrone's voice is so raw and I've always loved that about their music.
Taylor McFerrin - Decisions (ft. Emily King)
Taylor's production is immaculate - he's easily one of my favorite producers, specifically on Brainfeeder. Beautiful pockets filled with percussive velvet. His collaboration with Nai Palm (of Haitus Kaiyote) is also one of my favorites.
ZHU - In The Morning
Touch me in the morning speaks loud without saying much.
Tycho - Adrift
This song is straight gold. I listen to this almost everyday- driving around LA; refocusing, and seeing everything come to life.
