GRIZ - PS GFY (FT. CHERUB)
Music, Original MixCommentAs if things could not get better concerning this record that's about to drop - today Detroit funk lord GRiZ gives us this one ... and I'm swooning! We've had some epic times with the Cherub boys - they've even randomly showed up to my parties and asked if they could do a DJ set. I can only imagine what it would be like having GRiZ and Cherub on the same stage -- and this new single "PS GFY" is everything you would expect from this pairing. The funk runs deep with this one ... it's going to be an epic dance party gem.
Speaking of a dance party - we're going to be with the GRiZ fam in San Francisco for the Funksgiving party at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on November 26. The lineup for this night is bananas with Lettuce, Haywire and Brasstracks - I am going to shake my bootay alllll night, you should too! Limited tickets are still available but very close to selling out - gotta swoop them ASAP!
AWOLNATION - RUN (ROBOKID REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentTalk about one of my fave people ever, Robokid is pretty much my ride or die these days. From making me swoon for being so dreamy, to super rad hangs at SXSW, to him coming to San Francisco this summer to play a BB show, you can say we're fam. He puts out the sickest tracks, and this new official remix of "Run" by AWOLNATION crushes everything. It's dark and almost sinister techno vibe mixed in with big bass beats and all the future feels we've come to love from Robokid are wrapped into a perfect package ... psyched! Get into this one kids!

JOYRYDE - HOT DRUM
Music, Original MixCommentDamn Joyryde is simply crushing release after release. "Hot Drum" is yet another example of why Joyryde's meteoric rise in the last year is fully justified. The swag, sheer amount and precision of the various samples used throughout his records add a bombastically explosive quality that just cannot be tamed. "Hot Drum" prominently features a reggae steel drum sample in the chorus that comes out of nowhere, but somehow still fits like a glove. The record manages to calm down for a short oriental sounding breakdown, before winding back up for the end. I'm super excited for his LA debut at Control Sept 23rd. Hope to see all the LA bass heads ready to rock and roll. You can see the epic video and grab the download for this track on his website here.
MELVV & MOONZZ - GOODBYE
Music, Original MixCommentI can't believe it's already been over a year since I got to meet the yung startup Melvv in his first LA performance. Flash forward, the future is looking real bright for the teenage Milwaukee born beat maker with this incredible collab with one of our faves MOONZz. "Goodbye" is full of earworms with the "ah ah ah's" providing much of the skeleton of the tune. The chorus has quick thumping synth flashes melodically mirroring the vocals. MOONZz just crushes per usual I had the pleasure of hearing this performed at her EP release show in LA recently and trust me, you're going to want to go to a MOONZz live performance whenever you can get the chance! Check out her debut EP "Trust Cycles." Breakout tune for both artists and on the epic Majestic Casual imprint too...Get it Get it! You can stream this on Spotify here.
CHARLIE PUTH - WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE (AYTAC KART REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentIstanbul based producer Aytac Kart has a talent for mixing vocals in an exciting way and that is definitely my favorite thing about his remix of this pop hit. The song opens with Charlie Puth’s usual high breathy tones with light synth and drum backing, it slowly builds up till Aytac let’s it drop. The drop in this track takes a full 180 degree turn and get bassy, he takes Puth’s vocal line and fits in it with the bass, the contrast is perfect. This remix is an awesome groovy, chill house track that I can’t stop listening to.
[PREMIERE] OLIVER NELSON FT. KALEEM TAYLOR - AIN'T A THING
PREMIERE, Music, Original Mix1 CommentIt's hard to believe this is our first Oliver Nelson premiere! Over the past few years I've become pretty close with this whole team of legends (artist and management) - we've had some laughs to be sure! The love between Oliver Nelson and myself is pretty special - when we are together it's tons of giggles, hours of talk about music and life, all the things besties do except we only see eachother a few times a year. So this next premiere is another first for me and my Swedish disco angel, and he's coming at us with all the funky dance grooves! "Ain't A Thing ft. Kaleem Taylor" is classic Oliver Nelson, clean and crisp disco house that has an infectious beat and thick soulful vocals - just try not to shake your booty! This one officially drops Sept 16 via Perfect Havoc and you can pre-order from iTunes HERE!
[PREMIERE] HIGHT - SUN COME UP
Music, PREMIERE, Original MixCommentIt's all about the disco vibes this morning kids! I'm psyched to kick things off this this next premiere - the debut track from up-and-coming UK producer Hight. "Sun Come Up" is a fantastic blend of underground disco and mainstream dance elements wrapped up in a ball of funky deep house disco fun! This is the kind of track that will get you sweating on the dance floor! We love watching producers make their first moves, and Hight is coming at us with that fire! We're honored to be a part of this milestone. Listen and love!
