THUTMOSE - WUWU

Up until now, “woo woo” was an interesting phrase in the lexicon of English slang. Merriam-Webster defines “woo-woo” as an adjective meaning dubiously or outlandishly mystical, supernatural, or unscientific. A Woo Woo is also a sweet fruity cocktail. But “WUWU” is an acronym meaning “What’s up with you?”— fitting for the 21st century, and the rapper who is going to usher it into the text messages of today’s youth: Thutmose. We’re big fans of the Nigerian-born Brooklynite and are excited to be in on the ground floor of his rise to success.

“WuWu” is only Thut’s 5th original song on his Soundcloud, but he’s already amassed hundreds of thousands of plays across the various streaming platforms. “WuWu” is one of my favorites of his to date—it’s such a jam. It feels like an island vibe and a trap beat went on a date at a Miami bar and Thut came to serenade them both over Mai Tais. Give it a listen and add it to your party playlists on Spotify now.

THOREAU X TINA DECARA - ILLUSION

After a slew of successful remixes, our boy Thoreau has finally released his first original, and it was certainly worth the wait. His latest effort, an exploratory future bass record "Illusion" is an epic tune from the second you hit play. It starts with string plucks and sound effects as ethereal ahh's lead us in to Tina Decara's first verse. The tune envelopes you in pulsing gyrations of sound right after she sings "I'm High on the way that it feels" leading us into an impactful chorus with an energetic rhythm section and warped vocals. The second verse brings in Thoreau's signature blend of beats and rock guitar. We've come to expect a spicy blend of guitar and synths in most of Thoreau's productions, and this one falls right in line. Illusion is a dope addition to his growing catalogue of sweet tunes and is a proper advancement in his sound.

FILOUS - ALREADY GONE (FT. EMILY WARREN)

It's no secret that I have become a sucker for filous. From his whimsical arrangements and lovely guitar that are entangled in each tune, whats not to like? The 20 year old Australian singer/producer finds himself following in the footsteps of some of the best from Flume to ODESZA, and with his 11+ HypeM number ones and a quarter of a billion plays on all platforms it looks like there is no sign of slowing down. Now the brilliant artist brings us his "For Love" EP, which features 6 beautifully cohesive tracks that I could talk about all day long, but I will spare you all the paragraphs and tell you about my favorite track. "Already Gone" ft Emily Warren (which you may recognize from her song with The Chainsmokers) at times is a very light almost acoustic track, but then twists into a cinematic adventure that will give you all the feels. Once again he highlights what he does best with plucky guitars, a little light percussion, and of course Emily's incredible voice...and BOOM your new favorite track is born. 

RUSTY HOOK - RELIEF (FT. TRUITT)

For the unawares, Rusty Hook, aside from his contribution to the Slow Hours project, has been lurking around SoundCloud racking up millions of plays and drawing off the oldest heads on the platform. He has been building his cv and biding his time, but now he is ready to release his first original project, Romance is Dead, Good Riddance. The first single of the compilation, ‘Relief’, features smooth and colorful vocals from brother-sister duo Truitt. Rusty Hook’s production on the track blends R&B with electronic, leaving a lasting impression. Combined with the sultry lyrical delivery of Truitt, the track truly shines.

LISTENBEE - CHILDREN FT. COSMOS & CREATURE (ATTOM REMIX)

Following the success of his Cosmos & Creature assisted single “Children”, Listenbee has returned with an official remix in tow. Supported everywhere from MrSuicideSheep to Hardwell’s Off The Record on Sirius XM and reaching #1 on Hype Machine, the original was a genuinely jubilant cut with a carefree ethos. Thus it makes sense he’s tapped Attom - whose remix credits include Steve Aoki and Bishop Briggs - for a flip that maintains the youthful energy of “Children” while serving a breezy, chilled out vibe to perfection.

SAINT WKND & MAX - SURVIVE (PLS&TY REMIX)

One month ago, SAINT WKND and MAX teamed up to bring to fruition their collaborative single, "Survive." While the original piece is a stand-out single on its own, Palm Beach-based PLS&TY took the track and ran with the wind on his "Survive" remix. The OG track is indefinitely more low fidelity, intentionally sending notes through a grainy filter to create a vintage electronic sound. While maintaining respect for the proprietors, PLS&TY shifted "Survive" into a colorful, kinetic masterpiece. Emitting colorful vibrations, and an exhilarating resonance, this particular treatment is distinct, outstanding. Each drop is a release of vivacity, bringing life each metaphysical note, making the intangible, tangible. Intense, yet approachable PLS&TY's flip of "Survive" is an animated, electronic anthem with zeal and vigor. 

[PREMIERE] ELECTRIC TREASURE - FAMILIAR FACES

GAZZO - GOOD OL' BOYS (FT. AMERICAN AUTHORS)

It is October and it is snowing…yes snowing today in Colorado. So while snow is peacefully falling outside my window and the world starts to slow, I find myself keeping warm with some hot coffee and reminiscing with the guys of Gazzo and American Authors. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the artists, they have collaborated before on their four-times platinum hit single “Best Day Of My Life” which achieved enormous success with over 40 million Spotify streams, and continue to steal listeners hearts release after release. However, today we are here to talk about their latest single “Good Ol’ Boys”, which was premiered by Billboard and released by Enhanced Music & Island Records. "Good Ol' Boys" is an uplifting and heartwarming track, that will leave you with a smile and a couple of memories that you might not have thought of in a while.  With smooth guitar riffs, playful percussion, and of course the amazing vocal from none other than American Authors, you would think that there is nothing that could make this track better…but there is. Not only did the guys knock out this tune but they created an amazing music video and as tribute to friendship, the record’s artwork features actual photos of Gazzo, American Authors, and their friends growing up. Bet you wish you had friends like these.

SJ - REFLECTION (FEAT. ANNA PANCALDI)

Tritonal's label Enhanced has just given us their latest offering - a song first deep house tune "Reflection" from new producer Sj that really struck my fancy. The tune features Anna Pancaldi's lovely vocals encased with silk like layers of swirling synth work that cast a warm aura around the first verse. "Without Your Love, I have no reflection" she sings in the vocal chorus entreats us into a chill deep house drop that goes down oh so smooth. Apart from music, Sj has a cool story because he started an organization dually based in Nashville and Calcutta, India called One Life, which helps transform places of poverty in Indian slums to places of possibility. Among other projects, One Life has created a safe space called “Our Dream Home” which is home to 25 girls who broke free from poverty and physical/sexual abuse situations, and acts as a resource for them to live comfortably with long term care and development. I'm especially down to support artists that are equally willing to give back to others not only with their art but also their time and energy.
