KALEENA ZANDERS - STRONGER THAN I'VE EVER BEEN (PIANO EDIT)

Music, Original MixEricComment

This one is special right here. Kaleena Zanders' wonderful voice has been featured numerous times on our pages for her work with SNBRN, is the voice behind his epic cover of "California Love," and has also been a workhorse the last couple years not only performing live at many major music festivals (Coachella, Middle Lands, Splash House to name a few), but also grinding in the studio with Gigamesh, Breathe Carolina, Loud Luxury, Madeaux, Vindata and others. After being featured so much, it was only a matter of time before we got a KZ original. Well finally we've been gifted this gem and when she sent it over it was almost an automatic OF COURSE I'LL SUPPORT THIS! Granted the tune is a little different from our normal blend of electro/pop, but the combo of simple piano and vocals is a time tested formula that clearly exposes the quality performance and songwriting of the tune. Produced by the duo dirtyMonster, the song was also recently featured in a promo ad for season 2 of STAR on FOX, it must be an honor to have your song featured on a show that's based upon the lives of budding musicians. This song is emotional, impactful and soulful. Everything we would expect from KZ, and damn she knocked it out of the park.

Music, RemixErin MaherComment

Sup fam! As we all continue to rise in this industry of electronic music, our personal bonds and friendships mean the world to us! I've gotta say ... I'm a lucky girl to be a part of this new generation of music makers, and I love supporting all the things they do. Like Austin based duo Bronze Whale - these guys are rad and they love to give hugs so .... kinda my faves! They deliver a super delicious remix of "I Want You" by Robotaki & Manila Killa that's full of all the chill summertime future feels vibes! I love it! Get into this one kids!

LUXX. - TIDE POOLS.

Music, Original MixErin MaherComment

Ok so .... it's Sunday and I'm up early ... and I came across this track just now and WOW swoon! Then I listened to some of the other tracks this Seattle based producer has been dropping over the past few weeks, and again WOW swoon. Who's Luxx. tho? Don't know ... because I can't find any info on the kid! What I really hope is that Luxx. is some young girl who's been tucked away in her bedroom making rad future bass and deep electro tracks like "Tide Pools." since she was like 14 and really just wants to be taken seriously like one of the guys. Maybe I'm wrong about that ... but it would be a nice surprise. Luxx. seems like my kind of people tho, from what I gather he/she has a slight Flume obsession like myself, I can vibe with that! So yea .... who are you Luxx.?

KIDSWASTE - FADE (FT. HUNTING STORIES)

Music, Original MixAlli LindseyComment

The beautiful thing about electronic music is that, unlike many other mainstream genres, it is fluid. Producers and DJs in recent years have challenged the genre's negative criticism by combining digital production with live instruments, romantic vocals, and fusing production with unsuspecting genre's and audible energies. Kidswaste's "Fade" ft. Hunting Stories is an eccentric combination of down-tempo electronic music and indie-psych rock. It's long winded hums and vocals simulate an "Of Monsters and Men" vibe. Although the track is relatable in regards to it's familiar resonance, it's novelty does not go unnoticed. "Fade" is a soft, reflective track- digging deep into the intellectual side of electronic music, simultaneously holding onto the vibrant energy that defines dance music. It's a special track with emotional aromas, and a cheeky polish. Check it out on Soundcloud or Spotify

Two of my favorite people got together and made some jams! LA producer SNBRN delivers a fantastic remix of our Aussie bestie LDRU's fire track "To Be Free."

Music, Original MixErin MaherComment

It's been a crazy week full of big moves, all around actually! We have some petty cool things happening with the BB fam, and I can't wait to start telling you some of it ..... soooooon! Someone else making big moves is our homie Ekali! He just dropped a new original track "Babylon ft. Denzel Curry" as well as announced a massive world tour! Boom! Ekali wanted to create a world where Rap and Electronic coexisted without favoring one over the other with this new track, and I think he nailed it! It has all that dirty bass flavor we love as well .... delicious! Get into this one kids ... and check dates for his Babylon World Tour HERE

ATTOM - DIVE (FEAT. COSMOS & CREATURE)

Music, Original MixEricComment

It's eclipse day and I think there's no better brand of ethereal electronic music as Attom's celestial sounds. Attom's music has such a loftiness to his production that you feel like you're floating on air. I would say his music is an offshoot of tropical, but really it's in a category all its own. The cascading pulses of chimes and bells fit perfectly alongside the atmospheric guitars and the (keeping with the theme) Cosmos & Creature's vocals. Brandyn and Molly can do no wrong, and are serious workhorses in the market of indie pop. Add that all up and you get a tune that's wonderfully ready for you to "Dive" into.
