LANA DEL REY & THE WEEKND - LUST FOR LIFE (VALENTINE & ROB ARAUJO REMIX)

I have one rule- don't remix Zeppelin. Anyone, and anything else is up for grabs, but that doesn't mean it's an easy feat. For example, America's ultimate sad girl, Lana Del Rey...not easy to flip. Her charmingly smoky vocals, and avant-garde depression- it works. But Moving Castle's Valentine, and multi-instrumentalist Rob Araujo tackled a Lana remix with a swift swagger. The original track, "Lust For Life" featuring The Weeknd just got a chrome makeover, and a taste of the future. Light up your square, Lana, it's impressive. The co-remix heeds elements of future bass, glitch funk, and uses bouncy production to hollow out a landscape for Lana, and The Weeknd's grammy award winning vocals to continue to shine. This track goes up, down, and side to side yet remains strictly, and intentionally composed. This "Lust For Life" remix is far out enough to be the future of indie-electronic, and approachable enough to remind you of the most witchy woman in the game right now.

THUTMOSE - STILL I RISE

Hip hop and electronic music go together like cookies and cream. Having both grown out of the disco music and early DJs and beat makers of the 70s and 80s, it's no surprise. On Brooklyn rapper Thutmose's new track "Still I Rise" he sings catchy driving hooks and spits rhythmic verses over a chugging house beat that nicely blends a classic four-on-the-floor beat with contemporary ethereal production elements (word has it that it was produced by Emmit Fenn). Lyrically it's a pump-up anthem about being "in it to win it" and pushing on with your dreams despite others trying to keep you down—which is part of the reason it was chosen it was chosen to be used as a sports anthem on national television by the MLB Network this season. Looking forward to watching the rise of this young and talented new artist.

SAN HOLO -I STILL SEE YOUR FACE

We never miss a chance to post a new track from our love San Holo, and his latest "I Still See Your Face" is giving me all the feels!  As the work day winds down and I'm daydreaming while gazing out the office window looking down over this beautiful bay area city ... I'm thinking about the amazing year we've had with our new friend San Holo and feeling the urge to have a mini dance party with the whole office. I may book a club for a living, but trust me ... it's a just just like any other job .... except we get to talk about music all day long. With light bouncy rhythms, gentle synthy vocals, and vivid future beats ... this Dutch producer once again produces all the good good! So good! You can swoop this one HERE! 

KILL THEM WITH COLOUR - DIAMONDS FEAT. DAVID SPEKTER

Toronto-based producer, Kill Them With Colour (not colOr), just unveiled his collaborative single, "Diamonds." The track, which features singer, songwriter David Spekter is a well-put-together electro-pop soundscape with intentional layers, and signature drops. The track is wavy, and riveting- bursting with vibrancy and character. The production oscillates around the vocals, stopping, and returning in perfect time to emphasize certain lines and vocal chords. Kill Them With Color is bold in this release, capitalizing on already popular rhythms while adding his own, distinct film to it. Bright, and brilliant- it's definitely a track that will spread far, and wide. 

ANDRES SIERRA - WHY DO I (STILL LOVE YOU)

Monday's suck, and Andres Sierra's "Why Do I (Still Love You)" is the deep house vibe you need to take that grimy, hungover, post-weekend edge off. Accumulating over 50,000 plays it's first week on Soundcloud, "Why Do I (Still Love You)" is proving to be a brilliant success. The single has a retro touch to it, combining early house elements paired with a strikingly 80s style cover photo. "Why Do I (Still Love You)"  is a rare sound in a time where indie-electronic is the only thing charting again, and again, and again, becoming nearly trivial. This mysterious, dark, shuffle-inducing house track is refreshing, and it's deep-synth anchor gives rise to an underutilized approach towards electronic music. "Why Do I (Still Love You)" is only one track off of his latest album, "House Arrest." Thanks Andres Sierra, for making deep house great again. 

AUTOGRAF - SLEEPLESS IN NYC

I was in NYC last August, and there was this massive heat wave where I pretty much almost died of heat and humidity ... I even opted out of going to the music festival I was supposed to be attending in fear of this heat death. That being said .... NYC is one of my favorite cities ever and I have spent many sleepless nights there! Our boys Autograf have captured that beautiful late night NYC summer vibe with their new track "Sleepless in NYC" out today via Armada. With crisp melodies under dreamy electro tones and whimsical vocals, this track sets the bar high for your Monday listening pleasure!  You can swoop it up HERE! 

LOUIS THE CHILD - LOVE IS ALIVE (CHET PORTER REMIX)

For a while now, Chet Porter has been a beacon of feel good sound; bridging the gap between the soundcloud community and indie pop. Never lacking in sense of humor, he nonetheless exudes a reticence that reflects in the tranquil nature of his music. In his recent remix of Louis The Child’s youth anthem “Love Is Alive”, Chet Porter maintains a delicate approach but steps outside his normal comfort zone to drop a driving, pulsing iteration of a track you already know and love. The combination of melodic vocal chops and a more intense bassline than we are used to seeing with him all combine to deliver something new, and just in time for his first headlining tour this fall. This guy has already been some of the strongest support on some of the best shows over the past few years, grabbing that headlining spot was an inevitability, if not long overdue. Looking to stream the track on Spotify? Look no farther, just follow the link here.

BRASSTRACKS - THOSE WHO KNOW

Holy mac! Brasstracks tho .... I mean it just keeps getting better and better! Ivan and Conor have been crushing all the things with their Brasstracks project, and personally they kinda make me swoon with their sweet jams! Jazz infused future bass feels is the signature sound by combining brassy melodies with R&B vibes with that luscious bass ... so amazing! This new track "Those Who Know" debuts Ivan's vocal skills as well - proving that these guys really can do it all. Well done!
