Austin, Texas has been a point of refuge for starving artists for decades. This vibrant, metropolitan haven is more of a showcase than a city. In the midst of this unusual southern city, which fuels itself on dancing to the beat of its own drum, you can find multi-talented musician Vince Seidl- a man who is no stranger to the oddities that define Austin. Seidl, otherwise known as Diamond Cuts, is a producer, guitarist, drummer, keyboardist, and 1/3 of the future-funk ensemble Resonant Frequency. Prior to Resonant Frequency's take off, Seidl channeled his expertise, primarily, into his alias Diamond Cuts. Since RF has seen a steady rise in success, Diamond Cuts has been on a hiatus. But, alas, DC is back and deep-seated as ever with the hard-hitting release of "Elevate." Diamond Cuts is a love child born from funk, classic rock, soul, and hip-hop. His latest drop runs on big, future-bass, with oscillating hints of groove and hip-hop right on the nose. His musical flora is apparent here, combining all of his inspirations in one track. It drips with a syrupy, sonic reverb- a spectacle of sounds and verses. Elevate is a wicked spell, turning dust into gold, and redefining what future-bass is all about. You can check out the sounds of his comeback on both Soundcloud and Spotify.
Future Funk
GRIZ - BRFORE I GO FT. LEO NAPIER
Music, Original MixCommentI feel like I've been playing catch up all week long ... can't a girl just have some fun while she's working in NY? Nope! Blogging is a very serious business OK! Lolzzz! Know what is serious tho, the dirty funk vibes all over this new GRiZ track "Before I Go ft. Leo Napier." There is so much groove coming from this future funk artist that it's impossible not to shake your booty ... wherever you are! GRiZ is throwing a big Thanksgiving weekend party called Funksgiving in San Francisco with a stellar lineup that I am psyched about, and a whole slew of fall dates across the US! Go, for real it's the best time ever! Swoop this track on iTunes HERE!
COSMO'S MIDNIGHT - FALLING OUT (FEAT. LIDO)
Music, Original MixCommentAlright I've got your Friday dose of future funk right here! What a collab! Cosmo's Midnight and Lido have put together a splendid, bass heavy, jazzy chord infused concoction that has us at BB melting. This track features some beautiful piano accented by some phone sound effects, blaring synth hits, and a funky fresh lead synth line. What more could you ask for to get your weekend started off right!
A FINE WAY TO DIE (GRIZ REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentGRiZ has consistently put out some incredible music release after release, and on top of that I think he might have one of the funnest live shows in the industry. If you haven't had a chance to see GRiZ live then go look up his tour schedule and pick a date trust me! So naturally I was pretty pumped when I saw a new GRiZ track pop up on my Soundcloud stream and ooh it's on point. Horny, bassy, soulful and funk-a-licious "A Fine Way to Die" has blues guitars and bongos and GRiZ's signature horn section all combined with some gritty bass. About 4:30 in we're treated to an orgasmic sax breakdown that takes us high up in the clouds and then we're thrust back down and built up for the home stretch. This song is soo good anddd oh yeah Free Download baby.
