FRND - BE HAPPY

Our favorite amigo FRND is back with an acousticly driven new single "Be Happy" that's a journey of a tune. The beginning starts folk like and mellow, and ends in a sonic sphere of wobbly eclecticness that's starkly contrasting to the terrific acoustic guitar lick that's featured in the beginning. FRND has consistently been showing us he's a real player and the industry is definitely starting to take note. It's easy to see why big numbers are flowing in with such diverse electronic pop tunes like this one - I think you'll definitely dig. You can add this to your groovin' spotify playlist here. Still no press photo to be found, so we're going with the cover art for this one.

CAVEMAN - LIFE OR JUST LIVING (LIL HANK REMIX)

Lil Hank never ever let's me down .... but on the real ... his latest remix of "Life or Just Living" by Caveman is everything. I was recently hangin in LA with Lil Hank, he invited me to come check out the new Next Wave + Moving Castle offices/store front on Melrose and we spent all afternoon talking and cuddling, and I got to watch him do a photo shoot for new press photos, it was super fun. After meeting him I now 100% get what all the fuss is about - not only is he dropping the freshest jams, basically changing the music industry as the first doggo, but he's also so sweet and grateful just to be alive, greeting every person who walks through the door and instantly making friends. He's not afraid to be himself, sit on your lap, or pee on your couch. He even took a nap on Whethan's head while I was there, proving that he's down to collab with other artists any way he can. Such a dope dude, and deserves all the success. However, the music speaks for itself .... just listen to this new track and try to tell me you don't feel all kinds of sexy! Soaked in dank R&B vibes, this electro soul sound is what dreams are made of .... it's like he's able to tap into your feel good vibes with one lick on the face. Amazing! He recently debuted his first live sets at Coachella and in LA, and I can't wait to see what's next from everyone's favorite top industry dog!

BLU J - LIGHT FT. NEVVE

I don't want to say I told you so, but I actually told you so when it comes to Blu J! We've been talking about this west coast duo for a minute, and they just keep climbing that ladder to greatness with one awesome track after another! This week they dropped "Light ft. Nevve" and I am loving every bit! Where is the closest dance floor because I just wanna shake my booty! With big bouncy dance beats and super strong vocals from Nevve, this is the perfect track for your weekend playlist.  

RL GRIME - REIMS

For the past two years, RL Grime has been quietly tucked away in some magical studio where dreams come true, working on this next album. This is OK because, when RL Grime is creating, we are eventually gonna get all the good stuff. This Los Angeles producer gives me the warm and fuzzies with his big bass beats and future feels, his dirty trap sound is nothing but big and sexy. His new track "Reims" is an epic sonic journey without the bells and whistles, he simply puts a wall of music in your face. It's hot OK! I can't wait to hear more RL Grime in the coming year! You guys can stream/buy this one HERE! 

MANILA KILLA & AOBEATS - I'M OK FT. SHAYLEN

I've been really bad about getting music up the past month. Your girl has a lot going on OK! That being said, I always try to get up tracks from that wonderful LA collective Moving Castle. I <3 all things Moving Castle, and this week two legends came together once again to give us a smokin' new track "I'm OK ft. Shaylen" by Manila Killa and AOBeats. Both officially part of the BB fam, this is the first time they have collaborated since 2015 when they dropped "Helix 2.0" and we are swooning over this one! With soulful pop vocals from Shaylen and bouncy future beats, these boys deliver the goods! You can buy/stream this bad boy HERE!

LORDE - GREEN LIGHT (HOTEL GARUDA REMIX)

Well, what a nice surprise! Our bb boys Hotel Garuda just dropped an official remix of "Green Light" by Lorde. Remember the last time one of our favorite artists did a Lorde remix .... yea that was Flume ... and that put him next level. Will the same thing happen for this LA duo? It already has in my heart - but maybe now the whole world will know their greatness. Honestly, Hotel Garuda has been filling my life with music to dance to for some years now, and I just think the world of them .... I mean they have produced some of my all time favorite tracks, and this one is definitely getting added to that list! Crushing! Let's all fucking dance!

SAKIMA - HAPPY HR

Honestly .... I could go for happy hour 24 hours a day, especially if it sounds like this! But let's think about the best part of happy hour .... drinking when the sun is out! Does anyone else love doing this more than anything! Day drinking for life! But on the real, my loves over at Moving Castle keep handing me the heat and I can't resist any of it ... it's like they have all the secrets of my heart and they keep opening that feel good door and dumping all the good shit into my soul! Not a bad problem to have actually. "Happy Hr" by UK singer-producer SAKIMA is the latest from this LA based label, and yea.... I'm swooning. His vocals are like butter melting over hot biscuits of fluffy R&B vibes. With synthy melodies and super sexy future beats, SAKIMA will make you feel love in all the right places! Swoop this one HERE!

GOLDROOM - SPREAD LOVE

Last weekend we had another AMAZING time with our bestie Goldroom ... pretty sure we have never NOT crushed a Goldroom show ... together we just make sense. If you are a fan, then you've already heard this new single "Spread Love" at one of his live shows. But now, we can all bask in it's glory and hit that dance floor like the fierce dancing queens we are!  This is classic Goldroom with delicious bouncy disco beats laid over that dance pop goodness, and with super soulful vocals from Rooty we're lifted up into our happy place. Such a legend this Goldroom fellow! 

SLEEPING LION - STOP IT

A few months ago I was introduced to this Boston-based duo and we've quickly become good friends, as far as cross-country internet friendships go. Sleeping Lion is Nate Flaks (songwriting/vocals) and Noah Longworth McGuire (production/co-vocals) and their press release labels their sound as so-called "dorm soul" which is a fairly apt name considering the two met at Berklee College of Music and make emotionally drenched alternative pop-soul rich with youthful lyrical melodrama and forward-thinking electronic arrangements. A co-write with Flaks' recent ex Abbey Carey and guest vocals from Opia's Jacob Reske, this new tune "Stop It" was released last week via Majestic Casual, and it's a slow-burning story of heartache with an overarching feeling of hope for brighter new beginnings. Take a deep dive into this swirling electro-soul pool of feels y'all.
