I am credited with, give or take, 95 digital bylines in the discipline of music. Admittedly, I have glorified music that I don't particularly love. And rarely am I completely awe-struck by a track, especially in the world of electronic music. The artistic tendencies seem to be repetitive, and well, a bit grey. But when LA-based, Dreamers Delight and Austin-based Cloudchord come together...touching, technicolor notes and melodies rise from the ashes to remind me why electronic music is a legendary artistic locus in the entire timeline of art and music. Their co-written track, "Swirls" is a flighty one, warming your senses, dipping you in gold, and most importantly, evoking emotion. It's a live electronic gospel, with structured layers and meditative guitar riffs. Ironically (but probably intentionally), it sounds like the intangible sounds of "swirls-" it almost tickles when you listen. "Swirls" is a trip, and you peak with a sense of euphoria and come down satisfied, taught, and more aware. Dreamers Delight and Cloudchord have created something very special with "Swirls."

LUCA LUSH - A BOY BRUSHED BLUE LIVING IN BLACK AND WHITE
Music, Original MixCommentSymbolic and subtly conceptual, Luca Lush's latest track, "A Boy Brushed Blue Living In Black And White" is a diced, summery single with high pitched frequencies and carefully layered facets of heavy hitting EDM and down tempo aromas. If you have ever had the pleasure of catching one of Luca's live sets, you are likely familiar with his thunderous bass vibes and powerful drops. While his bold, live performances define his in-person charisma- "A Boy Brushed Blue Living In Black And White" has a softer touch, with introspective overtones that still yields his signature sound. Luca's appearance is striking with his stunning blue hair, and the title of this track can leave a lot to the imagination- forcing his listeners to take a closer look at his metaphorical side. The more I listen and digest this musical motif, the more I feel like I have grown closer to the darker parts of his mind. It's opening blows are not distinctly intellectual, but as the track carries on the production tells a story and carries you up, down, and side to side. The essence of the track was crafted as a versatile piece of art, appropriate for a party, a long drive, or when you are in times of solitude. The vibe of the single is intentional, and asks you dive deeper than it's bangin' connotation. It's flavorful, fun, vibrant and distinct, and frankly, the best I've heard from Luca Lush. Stream it on Soundcloud, or Spotify- whatever's clever.

SWEATER BEATS - GLORY DAYS (SPIRIX REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentSometimes I listen to something, and it’s so good on the first listen I just feel compelled to share it with more people. I think that’s the real reason why music bloggers choose to write about music. As much as I love writing, I wouldn’t post a song publicly if I didn’t think that other people would enjoy it as much as me.
This remix is one of those tracks that was so good that I knew after the first drop that I had to share it with the BB fam. Don't wanna jinx it but this could go #1 on HypeM easily, knock on wood. I’ve heard the original which is incredible, as most things from LA’s favorite homies Sweaters and Kiyoko usually are, and I’ve seen the name Spirix floating around the interwebs, so I could say I sort of knew what to expect from this song. Little did I know what I was in for. Spirix has taken “Glory Days” and turned it from an exciting electropop song into an electrifying supercharged magnum opus. The flawless production chops demonstrated in this remix of an already melodically impressive and hook-laden song just make you want to listen on repeat. If you weren’t already watching Spirix, this remix is reason enough to start.

ALINA BARAZ (FEAT. KHALID) - ELECTRIC (ELECTRIC MANTIS REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentAlina Baraz X Khalid is simply a dream combination, and they work soo well together in the original "Electric." But add in Electric Mantis' special breed of future electro and now we have something that's completely legendary. This track is full of juicy production chops that serves to enhance the sexy original in just about every way. The chorus sweeps us around with a combination of sounds that are metallic and driving, but not too overpowering. There's definitely still a sense of sensual melody hidden behind the beats that keeps things moody in a good way, but yet hype enough for dance floors everywhere. We're already big fans of Electric Mantis and with jams like this being regularly pumped out it's easy to see why.
