BEAUTIFUL BUZZZ

MEMBA - BRAVE (FEAT. DAKK & GIIA)

MusicMike DooseComment

Bringing the HEAT once again, it's MEMBA, the NYC production duo showing us their worldly trap chops and wide-ranging talent. "Brave" is the kind of track that would win Best Rap/Sung Collaboration if the Grammy's actually featured forward-thinking dope music. Talented female vocalist and frequent MEMBA collaborator GIIA's gorgeous vocal melodies temper Dakk's hard and energetic verses. All of this takes place on a stage of the most glorious progressive beats and synths. Sound design: on point. Musicality: on point. Certified gold. Grab a free DL here.

PATRICK REZA - LIGHTS OUT FT. ABHI THE NOMAD

Music, Original MixErin MaherComment

I've spent the weekend listening to the rain hammer the tin roof on my parents backyard patio, it echos through the house when we have big storms which is quite thrilling for California. With flash flood warnings, closed roads and power outages, I took the opportunity to disconnect and spend quality time with the dogs. Now it's back to work, and I can't think of a better track to kick off the week! Our homie PatrickReza is back with a delicious new track "Lights Out ft. Abhi the Nomad" that's bringing all the future feels. It's not even 8am and I am throwing my trap arms - the feelgood vibes are strong with Abhi's vocals .... swooning! These two legends wrote this track over Skype after Abhi was deported back to France - and big ups to technology! You guys can grab a free download HERE!    

[PREMIERE] RKCB - ENOUGH (HTPKT REMIX)

PREMIERE, Music, RemixNathan Thost1 Comment

East Coast maestro HtPkt ratchets up the emotional punch of LA duo RKCB's "Enough", taking the track to another level entirely. Coming off the release of his debut single "Running (ft. Celestial)" HtPkt keeps the energy alive with his first release of 2017. His iteration of "Enough" jumps off with the soothing, melodic vocals of the original track, slowly building the tension until the final cathartic crescendo releases you into the full intensity of the drop. Add this track to your own personal discography here (need dl/stream link), and make sure to check out the rest of HtPkt's awesome catalogue HERE!

ELEPHANTE - PLANS (FT. BRANDYN BURNETTE) [INSTANT KARMA REMIX]

Music, RemixEricComment

Instant Karma has been making waves since their first release just a year ago. I really loved their "Flor - Unsaid" remix a while back and was excited when they sent me their latest an upbeat tropical infused rework of "Plans" from two BB regulars: Elephante and the workhorse Brandyn Burnette. The original was a joy to listen to check out our review here, but lets talk about what the bright good vibes duo has done for their remix. Using marimba-esque stabs they have built a lush tropical soundscape full of wandering airy arps supporting Brandyn's vocals. We're quickly lead to a bobbing halftime chorus chock full of fun melodies and vox chops. The record grooves along with such upbeat sweetness that it ends a quick 4 min later and I'm clamoring to hit play again. This one is ready to export you back into the rays of summer, you can also download this for free here.   

TYE JAMES - LIES

Music, Original MixEricComment

This latest tune from Tye James ( ½ of KNGDAVD check out their tune "Poppies" if you haven't heard it yet) "Lies" is a deeply personal tune that definitely showcases his vocal prowess. The tremolo guitar and drum sticks comprise the simplistically somber instrumental leaving plenty of room for Tye to make his mark. His piercing full voice easily slides up into falsetto and back down for his vocal improvisations. The lyrics talk about the heady contradictions that have forced him to confront reconciling his spiritual beliefs with the true desires of his heart. A struggle that all too many deal with daily. Tye speaks to the conflicted and does so with a yearning passion that is all too readily apparent. You can download this emotional tune as a free download here 

MEMBA - WARRIOR

Music, Original MixNathan ThostComment

Danggg, MEMBA lays it down heavy with a tribal, bass heavy banger i can't get out of my head! Just heavy enough to send the crowd into a frenzy while staying funky enough to not scare away anyone who may not share as strong an affinity for heavy bass tracks as i have come to know and love. Everything i have heard thus far from these gents is golden and versatile, and their live performances feature a healthy portion of live instrumentals that calls my name. Check out the music video and their soundcloud for more of this excellence.
