This last year has been an absolute breakout for not only San Holo's career but also his crew of future music stewards at his label bitbird. We were lucky enough to have him at our SXSW event last March, and it's clearly evident that his popularity is spreading like wildfire. San Holo's style has continued to evolve and morph, and this is easily shown in his latest fittingly titled "The Future" featuring none other than James Vicent Mcmarrow. These two names together should already get you pumped, but then you hit play, and it's pretty much everything you could ask for and more. Characteristically SH vocal chops lead the way for effervescent pads and heavenly guitar expertly dialed in below JVM's characteristically raspy falsetto. "I think too much, when I think about the future" he sings as we're swept away from thinking about pretty much anything. The chill chorus cascades in filling up pretty much all the available sonic space left. This one is definitely another home run add this to your best Spotify playlist here.

BRIG - SUMMER MELANCHOLY
Music, Original MixCommentThe first time I heard of Brig was in 2013 when he released his Mutiny EP on Disciple Recordings. I can still vividly recall his signature island-esque synths making an imprint on my ear, and recognizing that it was an artist to be reckoned with. To my surprise, he just recently released a brand new EP called "Summer Melancholy", with the title track undoubtedly being the most powerful. Its refreshing future bass melodies are quite pleasing to the ear, and it's great to see that he still has that bouncy vibe in his music we all know and love. You can grab a free download of the new EP HERE!
MATT DIMONA - MALIBUU (FEAT. LANI RENALDO) + UP ALL NIGHT EP
CommentMatt DiMona is the man! Erin and I had such a good time hanging with him at our show when he opened for Goldroom last April. He told us about this EP being in the works back then, and damn are we stoked that it's arrival is finally here! I really like the whole 'Up All Night' EP especially "Touch" and "The Universe We Dreamt," but I've chosen "Malibuu (feat. Lani Renaldo)" as the one to support mainly due to it's more mainstream pop appeal. Not to mention all the Cali references : ). The song is simple and refined. It doesn't reach too far outside of the box mainly relying on the background pads and comforting vocal performances by Matt and Lani to lead the way. There are splashes of rising arps and other sounds that help accent the endearing nature of the track. Seriously listen to the whole EP I could post any of the tracks, and be sure to download it FOR FREE right here.
LEO ISLO - GOLDEN GRAVE + EP
Music, Original MixCommentLeo Islo's new Golden Grave EP is absolutely killer. I've been a big supporter of his music for a while now (check out "Higher Living" such a tune!). I had the opportunity to listen to this EP before it was live and it's been on repeat ever since. Due to circumstances (EDC + moving) I haven't been able to get this up as quick as I would like, but alas here it is! Matt Pahler, pka Leo Islo, has already had a diverse music career and is really putting it all together for this EP. Golden Grave, the title track off the EP, has such a uniquely chill vibe to it. His voice basks you in golden rays of briliance, supported by ambient background vocals, synth stabs, a moving arpeggiating synth bass line, and relaxed percussion. The tune smoothly grooves along flying you up to fantastic heights. I would highly recommend putting ears on the entire EP, and purchase/stream it courtesy of PUZL Records here.
KHAI - ALIVE
Music, Original MixCommentOh lookie lookie what another one of our fantastic SXSW Get Buzzzed alumni is doing. Khai put on a raise-the-hair-on-the-back-of-your-neck kind of performance down in Austin and I'm super pumped to support his new single "Alive." With a whimsical synth line melody that fully embodies youthful exuberance, Khai's vocals are intricately sung on top of sparse, yet effective rhythm and sporadic deep sub. Khai's half falsetto tone just puts you at ease as this chiller of a tune goes down so smooth. Ohh and you know we love that free DL so nab that here. LA! I'm also super stoked that Khai is making a West Coast trip to perform at Bardot in Hollywood on July 1st. You can get more info for that here.

ALIZZZ - YOUR LOVE FT. MAX MARSHALL
Music, Original MixCommentHit me with your love -- Alizzz! Know what I like best about this Moving Castle artist - it's not that his latest track "Your Love ft. Max Marshall" is a piece of electro pop perfection, or that his future feels are layered within the sweet danceable beats, or that he's kind of a babe! No no, it's that he too has 3 Z's in his name, like we do here at Beautiful Buzzz! I like the way you think Alizzz, and I am loving this new release! This Barcelonan producer has my stamp of approval! The Your Love EP is out now and you can swoop it from iTunes HERE!
