There is no way you can listen to this new Andrew Luce remix of "In The Trees" by Stalgia and not think that this future bass vibe is not peaking on this one! For real, every ounce of this remix has all the future feels elements that we go gaga over. This Los Angeles producer nailed it, and honestly it's pretty much my most favorite track I've heard in a minute! With all the amazing music that hit this week, Andrew Luce comes out on top! He's got some cool tour dates coming up - too bad he'll be playing my city on the same night I have a BB show ... but you guys can peep dates HERE!
BLU J x INDIGINIS - HALLUCINATING FT. MOLLY MOORE
Music, Original MixCommentI've been trying to get to this one for a few days now - and I think BLU J's manager - who is a BB boyfriend - might break up with me unless I get this posted like I said I would! But I mean, it's a siiiick jam so no skin off my back - and we love BLU J around these parts! They teamed up with INDIGINIS on "Hallucinating ft. Molly Moore" to create this fresh future beats collab will all kinds of steamy bass feels! I'm totally loving all things about this one, and you can grab a free download HERE!
SNAKEHIPS - CRUEL (TA-KU REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentMy day was pretty much made with this one riiight here! I saw it come up late last night as an exclusive premiere somewhere so had to wait until today for it to go wide, and ooh ahh ooh it's so delicious I'm swooning! Can we all just feel this arousing groove on a Friday afternoon? Ta-ku has spread his thick R&B flavor all over "Cruel" by Snakehips - it's real nice!
NADERI - IVERSON
Music, Original MixCommentNaderi has had a breakout year so far. From whispers of being flume and What So Not's writing partner, to actually releasing killer records (check out his epic remix of Big Grams' "Drum Machine" ) Naderi is on fire and doesn't seem to be slowing down. A couple days ago he let loose this dance floor heater of a remix of Post Malone's "White Iverson." Thank god it's Friday because this record is certified weekend friendly. With gut punching bass, mystical pads, bright swinging synths and vocal warps this track is ready to be inserted into your party playlist. Round up the squad and get ready to get down. You can nab this as a free download here.
FOREIGN AIR - ECHO
Music, Original MixCommentDoes it ever happen to you where you hear a new song for the first time and it gets you super pumped to do something good in the world? That's how I felt when I heard "Echo" by Foreign Air - a melodic anthem with some larger-than-life production that sounds like something straight out of Lion King (if the soundtrack were reproduced by an indie-electronic band). The use of natural instruments such as the piano and drums make a much more pleasing sound to the ears, and I haven't stopped replaying it since I came across it. You won't regret checking this one out
AMOS & EMILY - FIERCE LOVE
Music, Original MixCommentThe good and bad side of music blogging is that I get sent a lot of emails. I really do try and read as much as I can, but a lot of times great tracks slip away and I don't get around to supporting them. I feel bad because I know how much time and effort it takes to create a buzzz worthy tune, but on the flip side I get super excited when I get sent tracks like this gem from newcomers Amos & Emily. At this point I don't have a whole lot of info to give you other than that the duo is Australian born Amos Wellings and Emily Leary currently living in London. "Fierce Love" is their second release and is full of juicy ear worms to dive into. The pre-chorus builds with piano and pads swelling into an infectous chorus with magical arps and pumping synths. They have tight harmonies and story like lyricism adding to the mystique of the single. This group is young, but I sense a bright future ahead. You can grab this single on iTunes here and Spotify here.
THE CHAINSMOKERS - CLOSER FT. HALSEY (TWO FRIENDS X CLASS & CLOWNS REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentEyyy lookie lookie Matt and Eli aka Two Friends are back with great re-work of The Chainsmoker's #1 single "Closer." I didn't get the opportunity to do a write up about the original, so I gotta take a moment to throw some mad props to Freddy from Louis the Child and Shaun Frank for co-writing and helping get this track up off the ground, and Drew from The Chainsmokers for putting his own vocals on the track. That can be a scary leap, but Drew crushed it out of the park with the first swing. Now on to Two Friends's mix - the guys have collabed with Class & Clowns amping up the rhythm a bit for this rework, adding guitar and definitely putting their own amigo flare to the chorus. The drop busts out with a huge distorted synth, spiking up and enveloping the track in a wall of sound. The original is already a pop breakout hit and this rework is undoubtedly stoking the fire.
NAATIONS - KINGDOM
Music, Original MixCommentHere's something brand spanking new for ya kids! I'd like to introduce you to NAATIONS - your next favorite Aussie electro pop duo. NAATIONS pairs together Van She's Nicky Night Time and Nat Dunn, and they are creating some pretty awesome sounds that I think you'll go bananas over! I've actually been pretty excited about this project for some time, Nicky has been the ultimate homie and part of the BB fam for years, so I've heard all about NAATIONS and the excitement behind it. "Kingdom" is the first single to drop and it's so delicious ... you have to get into this one! Keep your ears open for more fresh jams from NAATIONS, we'll be covering it for sure!
RYDER - RUINS (BKAYE & BEN MAXWELL REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentI've recently become friends with both these West Coast fresh up-and-coming producers, so I am loving this collab remix they just put out of "Ruins" by Ryder. BKAYE & Ben Maxwell have both impressed me to the point that I have put them on upcoming BB/Crossroads shows ... and I can be very picky! But as you can hear from this siiick future beats flip, they are kinda bad ass! You're looking at two talented dudes who will be part of the next wave of creative music makers putting all that love into our ears. Grab yourself a free download HERE!
