THE CHAINSMOKERS - ALL WE KNOW FT. PHOEBE RYAN (SAID THE SKY REMIX)

Said The Sky has done it again! The Denver-based producer has just blessed us with his rework of The Chainsmokers' "All We Know" and to call it a must-hear would be an understatement. Recognizably Said The Sky in style, the remix is melodic, bubbly and feel good all the way through. Having just released a couple of mega-collaborations with 3LAU, Seven Lions and Illenium, all eyes have been on the rising producer to follow up with a great tune - and this one has more than exceeded my expectations. Grab a free download HERE and show your friends, they deserve the midweek pick-me-up.

[PREMIERE] HYPERCOLOR - GHOSTS (FEAT. KORA LEVA)

New Music Tuesday! Oh wait, they do that thing on Fridays now...anyways I'm excited to bring you the premiere of the third original single from Hypercolor. The latest of Grant Wheeler and Matthew Young's various projects—which include Body Language, Vacationer, and Xan Young to name a few—Hypercolor draws inspiration from what's most exciting about modern production, citing influences such as Flume and Mura Masa. Those may sound like big names for comparison, but these guys live up to the hype.

"Ghosts" follows up on the success of the duo's first two originals, "Pretty" and "Animal", and is another stellar display of production chops and emotion. With the help of vocalist Kora Leva, "Ghosts" brings a more pop-infused tinge to the duo's progressive sound. It begins with strummed playful chords and light percussive sounds, slowly building through the first verse and chorus into more energetic luscious synths, chopped vocal samples, and snappy drums. I think it may be my favorite thus far from the guys, but with the consistency in quality we've seen from them already, there's little doubt they'll be slowing down anytime soon.

[PREMIERE] MIELO X IEUAN - PRETTY WHEN U CRY

Ohh I've got a treat for you here from Chi town's Mielo. The recent Iowa University grad has made a name for himself spinning for big crowds across the midwest, while putting up some massive numbers on Soundcloud with his Porter Robinson remix, and a simply delightful original entitled "Surreal". Well today we're absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to premiere his latest single "Pretty When U Cry". This emotionally charged tune has immediately cinematic beginnings with a phone call intro, but quickly dives into dark, murky, and reverby territory with a droning pad and solemn piano underneath ieuan's haunting vocals. The reflective and questioning lyricism perfectly accents the layers of gritty synth work combined with the chorus' longing synth blips. This song could easily stand alone as a great acoustic track which further enhances its effectiveness as a fully produced piece of art. The white noise stabs at the end jolt us back to reality in what seems like a quick 3 minutes and 54 seconds. I was left breathless and was immediately clamoring to hit play a second time. This relatively new producer has hit an emotional nerve with most of his releases and neatly packs this single in with the rest of his budding catalogue. Be on the look out because we feel this train is on the tracks and is quickly picking up speed. You can also nab this new single as a free download here.     

CALPER - CROSSROADS FT. MARK ASARI

It's Monday morning and foggy in SF - but I'm not letting that get me down! Today I feel like I could take over the world because the positive vibes are fierce, and I've just found the perfect track for my current mood that I think will get you guys feeling oh-so-niiiice! UK deep house producer Calper has given us a fantastic new track filled with sunshine tropical feels with "Crossroads ft. Mark Asari." It's really the perfect pick-me-up jam with all the warm and fuzzies with serious dance floor beats. You guys can stream or download HERE! 

KICK THE HABIT - ALONE

All it takes is one riff to get you hooked and propel a song to become a timeless classic. Think of great bands of the past and today, great riffs paved the way for them to become stars in their own right. For example:Led Zeppelin’s iconic riff in Whole Lotta Love, Jimi Hendrix with Purple Haze, or current bands like Arctic Monkeys with Do I Wanna Know and The Strokes with Reptilia. The newest band on the horizon is Kick The Habit releasing their newest hit single “Alone”, which you may not be surprised when I say, has an extremely catchy riff. “Alone” dips in very different genres from Alternative Indie to Electronica and I have to say that I am all for it. You get the best of both worlds even if you never even been to the other world because Kick The Habit blends both genres so well.

SIVIK - ALL DAY ALL NIGHT

LA based electro pop songwriter Sivik has been steadily putting out some really fantastic genre bending electronic music, and I'm absolutely in love with his latest tasty tune "All Day All Night." His silky smooth vocals float above the mellow instrumental with crispy percussion, and an infectious plucky lead synth. The chorus vox chops tinge with an electronic filter that's adds a robotic quality to it, but in no way does it feel stiff and unmusical. On the contrary, it's this magical blend of electronic choppiness and lyricism that separates this tune from the plethora of other electro pop jams. We've been told this is the lead single from his upcoming EP 'Solstice' and is just a dose of the epicness awaiting us in his next release. You can purchase this single on iTunes here.

ELI WAY & IAN EWING - HAPPY WITH U (FEAT. NAJI)

It's been a hell of a week. One full of hope, and excitement...despair and frustration. I was encouraged by some of the responses to our new president elect and discouraged by others. Respect is the most important thing to me and while many have been surprised and confused about the results we have to continue forward and overcome adversity. Life is full of setbacks, but it's about how you respond to those setbacks that will prove the real test of your mettle. Having said that, the real reason I'm divulging into such a rant is that I want everyone to just RELAX. You'll never solve anything upset so I'm providing you with this musical dose of chill to bring us back to square one. Eli Way just recently came onto my radar and oooohhh I'm soo glad he did. This amazing future soul producer has put out some absolutely amazing records like "If It Makes You Happy feat. Cehryl" and "Just Wanna Love You". I promise you this guy is ready to explode and I'm super excited to provide the introduction! Dive into his newest "Happy With U" co-written with Milwaukee based soul producer brethren Ian Ewing featuring rapper Naji. Start keeping tabs because this is just the beginning.
