This week has been really hard personally - when life gives you lemons we are to make lemonade - but sometimes you can feel like you're drowning in it. So, this morning I am gonna try to get to some of my favorite tracks that have dropped over the past few days for all the rad feels, and this new Tim Gunter remix of "Afterlife" by XYLØ has topped the list.

BRASSTRACKS - MELANIN MAN (FEAT. MASEGO) + GOOD LOVE EP

I have to show some more love to Brasstracks. They have just had a killer year so far and I've absolutely loved all of their releases including the 'Good Love' EP which was just released last Friday. We actually had the pleasure of hosting Masego at our SXSW showcase last March, so when I saw these two teaming up I knew this was going to be something special. "Melanin Man" is everything I hoped for and more. The track is funky, soulful and yep super horny with an ice cold smoothness that's like non other. Masego hits the vocals with flair, the drumming keeps its snappy while the horn arrangements accent with pin point precision. This is a total jam and deserves every bit of support it can get. You can purchase the 'Good Love' EP on iTunes here, or stream on spotify here.

LINCOLN JESSER - LOST WITH YOU

Lincoln Jesser is back with his third release on the iconic Spinnin' Deep imprint. Following up on the hugely successful single "Time Will Tell," Lincoln is back on the vocal duties for this one. "Lost Without You" seems to be a perfectly fitting name for this release due to the mesmerizing nature of the lead piano/synth line. The way the melody winds its way around leads you to feel like you're wandering a peaceful forest with no direction nor end in site. Good thing for us the journey is the destination and the journey feels soo good. The bass hits perfectly to keep you dancing while Lincoln's vocals and the light flute work at the end entrance us into an auditory mirage. Speaking of which, Lincoln also just announced that this single is the first from his Casa Mirage EP coming soon. He also just launched his own Spotify playlist of the same name featuring a mix of chill, deep, funky, and euphoric tunes that he happens to be vibing with at the moment. You can find that playlist here, and you can hear "Lost With You" on Spotify here.  

GOLDEN COAST - RECESS

It's elementary my dear Watson. Golden Coast is back with a killer new tune that's channeling your inner childhood. Working sucks, sometimes you need to just go outside and run around and Golden Coast has just the soundtrack. "Recess" is a beautifully simple yet effective tune, that smirks as it plays along. The opening synth bobs set the jovial tone as the massive claps groove us into the first verse. The "Hey's" chime in as the half falsetto vocals proclaim "I just want to go to recess." I love the high school marching band like drumming at the end, music supervisors beware Golden Coast has made a terrifically syncable tune with this one. Regardless Golden Coast is keeping the summer vibes very much still alive as we're nearing the beginning of September.  

JERRY FOLK - LIFE UNDER WATER

As if this young Norwegian producer has not already stolen our hearts multiple times this year with all the amazing music he's putting out, Jerry Folk has another new one to make our day a little brighter via our besties over at Next Wave Records. "Life Under Water" is filled with all the sexy time vibes with sultry soulful vocals over future beats for all the feels! I am so in love with this one! Want more awesome news? Jerry Folk will be hitting the road with the homie Jai Wolf for their Kindred Spirits North American Tour this fall, and you can check out dates here!

KID FROOPY - BB (FOUR MISSED TEXTS)

Ah yes another great Moving Castle release this time courtesy of yung newcomer Kid Froopy. "bb (four missed texts)" is a upbeat electro pop record I'm dubbing future pop, with all sorts of earworms to dive into. The track starts energetic with light airy synths and piano before diving back down with a smattering of guitar strums and ambient pads. As the record picks back up with the vocals we're introduced to more spritely guitar licks and bass. The vocals lightly anchor the top end as the synth work bobs and weaves around the percussion. My favorite part comes about 2:50 in when we're treated to a breakdown with terrific arp work building us back up through the end. This original comes right after an excellent release of Kid Froopy's energetic remix of Hoodboi's "Closer ft. ASTR." There's a bright future ahead here, but for now you can grab this track on retailers here.

PEGBOARD NERDS & NGHTMRE - SUPERSTAR FT. KREWELLA (DNMO REMIX)

This makes the second artist I've supported in the last week or so, that has embarked on the sometimes necessary re-brand. Being a musician myself I know how important a good transition can be, so I'm excited to introduce and support DNMO with his first release a killer remix of the dynamite collab "Superstar." This young british producer (only 15!) cranks it up to 11 with the quick melodic build bringing us into a full bodied, bitcrush fueled drop that surprises and entices. He's flipped the hyped original into a slower, bass blowing gem with a consistent vox chop leading the way ahead of the deep sub and bright wide saws. Already receiving support and finding it's way into the hype machine popular chart, we have no hesitation lending our support to this up and coming producer as well. Be looking out for more bassy goodness coming from this camp. You can nab this as a free download here. 

CHOICE - THE SWEET SPOT

If you cruise up to Santa Barbara, take in the beautiful scenery and dive into the thriving music scene there, you're likely to hear about Myles better known by his stage name Choice. The singer, producer and DJ has put together a breakout string of singles amassing over 1.5 million streams across soundcloud and youtube, and he's just getting warmed up. Landing features with the delicious Tasty Treat for "Simple Things" and a release on esteemed collective Hegemon for "A King's Reserve," today I'm bringing his latest "The Sweet Spot" to your ears. The name really hits the nail on the head for this one. The track is full of sweet, melodic and bassy goodness. The beginning is ambient with deep anticipation as the verse begins and takes us up into the vocal chop filled chorus with a stabbing synth line, flowery saw synth blasts and melodic arps. The beat hits a slower four four about 2 minutes in making this track dance floor ready. Our sugar intake is on maximum with this cut, Choice really does hit "The Sweet Spot." Out on the Echelon collective you can nab this as a free download here.
