TOUCH SENSITIVE - LAY DOWN
Music, Original MixCommentWhenever Touch Sensitive releases a new track - you know it's going to be a party! The love I have for this brilliant musician is unlike no other - he is part of a very small group of disco legends that inspired me to start all this Beautiful Buzzz madness, and even tho we are amazing friends, I still nerd out over his fresh jams. His new track drops with the announcement of a US tour, which is very exciting considering it's been almost 2 years since his last time over here! "Lay Down" - out now via Future Classic - is everything we love about Touch Sensitive - a funky disco electro gem with that deep 4 on the floor groove and all the booty shaking vibes .... no one does it like Touch! Peep his tour dates HERE and you can stream/download this bad boy HERE!
AUTUMN IN JUNE - COCAINE EIGHTIES
Music, Original MixCommentThis is not the first time we've talked about this fresh Los Angeles electro pop newbie, and if he keeps dropping jams like this if definitely wont be the last. Autumn In June has a new single "Cocaine Eighties" and we are loving all the things about it! He mixes up 80's new wave electro funk with 90's R&B with synth pop and hip-hop vibes ... I can't get enough! This kid writes and produces all his own tracks in a log cabin in his South Central back yard that he built himself from Youtube instructional videos ... I can't even make this shit up! He's great, and not listening to Autumn in June is not an option.
THE KNOCKS - HEAT (FT. SAM NELSON HARRIS) (MANILA KILLA REMIX)
RemixCommentMy day today is totally bananas! I think I got too into my Thanksgiving break and forgot that I have one million things to do all the time ... but that's work, and holy crap my work makes me happy! Like this track for example, for my work it's my responsibility to find great artists like The Knocks years ago and write about their jams on BB and throw parties with them in multiple cities to support them on their rise to greatness! DONE! And then there is yung Manila Killa from that Moving Castle crew whom we've been swooning over and supporting from day one it seems, and are now watching and helping him find his way to greatness as well! This is my job as Rave Nanny, to throw parties, write about, take care of and love amazing emerging artist - how is this real life? Manila Killa crushed this remix of "Heat" by my babies The Knocks ... get on it!

[PREMIERE] FRENCH HORN REBELLION - SECOND OPINION (BEE'S KNEES REMIX)
Music, Remix, PremiereCommentWe all need super sweet funky grooves in our lives, and when I am looking for this vibe one of my go to artist is French Horn Rebellion. For years this Brooklyn duo has been filling our earbuds with great dance pop jams that are a wee bit corky and 100% rad. Today's premiere has our homies Bee's Knees flipping "Second Opinion" by French Horn Rebellion into a fantastic funky dance track with their future pop flavor shining through. Gotta love it when two artists like these guys who are super creative and fun get get together - results are always great! French Horn Rebellion's latest self-produced full length album "Classically Trained," is out now via Ensemble Records, and you can grab this Bee's Knees remix as a free download HERE!
[PREMIERE] TWO CAN - HOLDING ON TO YOU (HALOGEN REMIX)
Music, Remix, PremiereCommentYo! It's Monday again .... and I've risen in the wee hours on this very cold and beautiful San Francisco morning, wishing I could go back to sleep! No rest for the wicked - I'm here to please the electronic music lovers like yourself with our next premiere, and it's a super tasty one! Our homies Halogen are back at it again with their latest remix of "Holding On To You" by Two Can. This Atlanta duo has a knack for transforming funky dance tracks into hard hitting dance floor scorchers that do nothing short of lighting the room up! So, get your week started off by shakin' ya bootay ... Halogen are bae!
SHY LUV - JOYRIDER
Music, Original MixCommentWho's ready for the weekend?? Me ME MEE! Fridays are the best, so much good new music to dive into and the looming opportunity to sleep in! All this talk gets me excited, you know what else gets me excited? This brand new project Shy Luv, a new venture comprised of Sam Knowles (aka Karma Kid) and Jake Norman (Armeria) born from a vocal session they did together. Their new single "Joyrider" is a disco fueled, gold rimmed, instant classic of a tune with a juicy funk inspired bassline, dreamy synths, bells, afrobeat percussion and vocal duties provided by Sam himself. This track is a total groover of a record and as the name accurately describes is the perfect soundtrack for your joyride around town. They've developed a live show along with the new sounds and are poised to debut that with SG Lewis at Koko in London November 17th. You can download the single here and stream on Spotify here.
THE KNOCKS - HEAT FT. SAM NELSON HARRIS
Music, Original MixCommentAhhhhhh my boyz are back with a new tack that's oh sooooo delicious! The Knocks have 100% killed all things in 2016 - they finally made that move to the next level - selling out across the US, a European tour with Justin Bieber, and a siiick full length record! Wow! Could not be happier for our homies, they deserve every ounce of success! "Heat ft. Sam Nelson Harris" is a soulful love song with all the feel good sexy vibes - this is electro pop perfection! They'll be back on tour in the states early next year - can wait!
