BEAUTIFUL BUZZZ

[PREMIERE] EVVY - TIDAL WAVE (YOUNG BOMBS REMIX)

Mike DooseComment

If you're a BB reader, you know we've featured Young Bombs before on the blog. We love everything the Canadian duo puts out. This track was actually featured in the Buzzzmix they did for us back in January. Now we're stoked to have the premiere for you today! Best of all, it's a FREE DOWNLOAD!

EVVY is an awesome indie pop artist from New York who's got serious swag. She's turning heads too (this track originally premiered on Billboard!) and for good reason. Her songs are just really good. Tidal Wave is just one of those songs that you can't help but move to, and the lyrics and melody will have you singing along too. Now with the homies Young Bombs giving it an even more dancefloor friendly house treatment, you'll be wanting to turn up right in the middle of the office this hump day.

DENNY WHITE - PSYCHO

Music, Original MixErin MaherComment

We all have to take the good with the bad in life, and sometimes it can be rather challenging. Personally - my career is taking off! I have an amazing job that I love where I get to put together lineups for club nights, electronic music events and festivals - kinda kick ass.  Also, this here blog is growing a such a fast rate I legit can't keep up! It's all good, but then holy mac it drives me crazy! Some days I am pulled in so many directions that if I don't shut everything down and take a breath I'll go psycho! Good with the bad.... Denny White is feeling me however, and if you were to ask me what's good riiiight now - I'd say this track! "Psycho" is electro pop perfection - his vocals are so soulful and dreamy I'm swooning. He just get's me. If you're feeling a bit psycho today then this one should be the perfect thing to soothe your soul! 

PHANTOM SAGE - AWAY (FT. BYNDY)

Music, Original MixHarrison MorganComment

We’ve heard a few different styles from Phantom Sage and this time it seems they wanted to blur the lines a bit and hit us with a progressive dubstep tune. ‘Away’ starts off pretty chill with a lot of echoing vocals, but soon enough it starts building up and preparing you for the awesome drop. This track makes me think of Flume and Rocket having a love child and i can’t get enough of it. This song is beginning to gain traction and for all the right reasons, take a listen below and go check out these guys’ Soundcloud, you won’t regret it.

GRIZ - GOTTA PUSH ON (FT. BRASSTRACKS & ERIC KRASNO)

Music, Original MixEricComment

Oh man this might just be one of my favorite GRiZ tracks yet! As one of the primary artists in my mind that has been slowly pushing the funk and soul agenda onto the dance music scene, GRiZ has done so with style, saxophone, distorted synths and boatloads of bass. However "Gotta Push On" is not the most bombastic record which, in my opinion, makes it that much more special. It hits with the same kind of hype and energy that embodies many of GRiZ's other records except that the chorus leads with Brasstracks...yes BRASSTRACKS' sexy horns. Eric Krasno sounds superb and the choir that he got to sing in the end crushes! This track I feel epitomizes the direction GRiZ has been pushing toward for many years, and comes at the perfect time. Just about the only thing missing from a track of this magnitude is a slick verse from sayyyy I don't know...Anderson .Paak. Ha ha I know...a guy can dream right? Anyways, until that dream becomes a reality just take a second to enjoy a remarkable artist seemingly at the height of his game. "Gotta Push On" comes as the final single released before GRiZ drops his new LP 'Good Will Prevail' this Friday Sept. 23. The 'Good Will Prevail' LP is currently available for pre-sale on iTunes here.

San Fran! There might still be some last minute tickets available for GRiZ's Funksgiving show November 26th at the Bill Graham Auditorium. You can purchase tickets below!

SHAUN FRANK - LET YOU GET AWAY FT. ASHE

Music, Original MixEric2 Comments

What to say about Shaun Frank? The man needs no introduction, but alas this is a music blog and I'm here to scavenger tidbits of information for you. Did you know Shaun co-wrote The Chainsmoker's hit "Closer Ft. Halsey" with Louis the Child's Freddy Kennett? Boom there you go ha ha! Just in case you've lived on mars for the last year and haven't been paying attention, the Toronto bred hit maker steamrolled 2015 and early 2016 with breakouts like the festival circuit staple with Oliver Heldens in "Shades of Grey," the smooth ode to the city of angels in "La La Land" with DVBBS, most recently his collab with the legend Steve Aoki in "Dope Girlz," and now "Let You Get Away."

True to form, Shaun has put together another emotional-meets-banger record fusing excellent songwriting and production in a way that only Shaun can do best. Ashe's brilliance shines through with ease who's becoming quite a staple on our pages (check out the Hypem #1 hit "Recognize" from Win and Woo). As you were being lulled into a trance by Ashe's verses, the drop flies in and sweeps you off your feet with hornlike synths, deep sub and trap like percussion. Flash forward to the end it sounds like we have splashes of actual horns come in after the final buildup just adding to the epicness of this already ginormous hit. Tack another ace into Shaun's musical deck of cards, this cut is gonna get played at a lot of festivals across the world. You can purchase/stream this on digital retailers courtesy of Spinnin' here.         

ZEDS DEAD X NGHTMRE - FRONTLINES (FT. GG MAGREE)

Original Mix, MusicEricComment

Wow lets just talk about NGHTMRE collaborations for a second. Just in the last 10 months the night terror captain has hit the studio with a career capitalizing 6 superstar names, legends in their own right, from the likes of Flosstradamus for "Lighters Up," Dillon Francis for "Need You," and Pegboard Nerds & Krewella for "Superstar." On top of that, just recently he's been surging with MASSIVE collabs with Flux Pavilion in "Feel Your Love," and now Zeds Dead for "Frontlines." "Frontlines" is a rawkus cut that quickly rolls out from the second you hit play exploding into a fun future bass drop. The verses feature a ping pong like synth pluck behind GG Magree's sultry vocals. The vocal chops explode with hype and energy, put into place with microscopic precision that NGHTMRE simply does best. If NGHTMRE continues at this pace I think he'll have worked with every big name in the business. That works for us hey Tyler...please keep 'em coming! You can nab this on all digital retailers here.

HYPERCOLOR - ANIMAL (FEAT. JULIETTA)

Mike DooseComment

Brooklyn production duo Hypercolor dropped their first single a couple months back  a killer tune called "Pretty" that was kind of like what you might imagine it would sound like if Flume featured The Weeknd on a track. Now for their second single, they've enlisted fellow Vitalic Noise family member Julietta as the vocal lioness of this banger. "Animal" is a high-energy anthem of confidence with an array of inspiring sounds from xylophones and marimbas to synth stabs and a smattering of big cat roars throughout. Need a mood lift? This one will get you feeling, as Julietta cries, "unstoppable...like anything's possible." Get it!

JAHKOY - CALIFORNIA HEAVEN (FEAT. SCHOOLBOY Q)

Music, Original MixEricComment

Californ-i-a you are just a sexy beast. You could take a poll of the most heaven-like places in the world and I guarantee California would be top of the list. Maybe I'm a little biased, but my 8 years on the West Coast have been the best of my life. The soul sultan Jahkoy has created his smooth ode to the Golden State and it's a damn near perfect R&B representation of the all of the Cali vibes. The track starts with a beachy reggae guitar riff that quickly makes way for booming sub and those classic hip hop hats and snares. Jahkoy's angelic vocals perfectly fit the heavenly lyricism floating us along into a fantastic verse from Schoolboy Q. I love the nod to LA's weekday party schedule, which is definitely a thing, and the layers of harmonies surrounding Jahkoy's soloing precision. What a cut that's totally keeping the summer Cali vibes alive! Don't ya wanna move to the westside? You can get "California Heaven" on digital retailers here
