ENSCHWAY - OVER U (FEAT. YEAH BOY)

Australian-born Nic Schweighoffer, otherwise known as Enschway just teamed up with Yeah Boy to drop "Over U," an electronic-pop banger with radiating production, and sonorous drops. "Over U" is like pop-art meets production- striking and bold. The intro follows the cadence of contemporary indie-dance music, but then dives deep with the first drop- showcasing layers of static, wavy resonance. "Over U" is a social single- a track to bump at the beach with the homies, or on long road trips feeling the wind in your fingers. 

DONKEYBOY - KALEIDOSCOPE

With a name like Donkeyboy you’d expect something different than this song. As someone who only just heard about this band who is apparently massively popular in their home country of Norway, I would have expected something humorous like Flight of the Conchords or Reggie Watts, but instead I got this happy-as-hell electro-pop anthem dripping with 80s-inspired sounds. You know what though? I’m not at all mad—I’ve actually been playing it on repeat.

EMBER ISLAND - UMBRELLA (THE WHITE PANDA REMIX)

The White Panda has been busy! Over the past month they have dropped 3 really great remixes that have shown us a fresh new side to this dynamic duo. Combining that great White Panda party sound with future bass vibes, they flip Ember Islands cover of "Umbrella" into a massive dance floor hit!  These vocals tho .... so awesome!  I can't wait to check out their upcoming show in San Francisco next weekend - they'll be playing at Mezzanine on Sept. 30 so if your in the bay area you need to come out and do some dancin! Swoop tickets below! 

ARTY - SUPPOSED TO BE

Russian producer, ARTY is no stranger to success. The Anjunabeats artist has collaborated with Above & Beyond, Armin Van Buuren, and Matt Zo. Mostly known for a knack for trance and progressive house, ARTY just unveiled a much lighter side of his musical aesthetic. His latest track, "Supposed To Be" is a tropical, feel-good pop with colorful drops, and approachable rhythm. This isn't the ARTY we're used to, but with "Supposed To Be" we see him expand his artistic depth and fluidity- moving, swiftly, with the inevitable changes occurring in modern music and art today. 

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. 

SNBRN x STRANGE CLUB - MELROSE

Yummy! If you're in the bay, grab tickets -- the rest of you can swoop this one HERE! 

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.
