WHOM - ADDICTED

Taylor FayComment

Italian DJ and house artist WHOM is looking to stimulate and stir things up, which is evident in his latest EDM.COM published track, “Addicted.” Alberto Longo started experimenting with electronic sound in 2013 and signed his first track back in 2015. Longo is currently the resident DJ at Shire Music Festival where he continues to seek out new sound and inspiration. When we reached out, WHOM expressed to the BB Fam that the house scene is too serious and tracks like “Addicted” are the product of incorporating soft synth and seductive vocals to “play with your weaknesses” and destroy taboos around sexuality. Trust us, it will have you feeling something! WHOM continues to pioneer new music, while preparing for some festivals in Italy that are soon to be announced.

FLUME - SLEEPLESS (JUSTICE SKOLNIK REMIX)

Erin MaherComment

I am just swooning over San Francisco's Justice Skolnik!  He's already dropped off stellar remixes of Kanye West and Madeon this year and just added my fave Flume to the list.  He adds a fresh take to Flume's classic hit "Sleepless" and I just can't get enough!  Expect plenty more to come from this rising star in 2018.

SMALLTALK - WAIT

Music, Original MixMike DooseComment

Today it’s my true pleasure to introduce you to smalltalk, the new musical project of Peter Fenn and Parker Livingston. A serendipitous meeting while working at the same San Francisco tech company led to the duo originally making music together under the name Polaroid, releasing a handful of singles in 2016 and 2017. Now they’ve rebranded as smalltalk and have released their vibey debut single “Wait”, a relaxed indie soul track with the kind of warm vocals and instrumentation that beckon the backyard days of summer. Citing inspirations old and new, from Otis Redding to Anderson .Paak, it’s evident that the pair are able to bring together elements of both classic soul music and contemporary hip-hop beats to create their own unique vibe that feels timeless. We can only hope for more smalltalk as we move through 2018.

Parker Livingston and Peter Fenn are smalltalk.

SPIRIX - LITTLE DOUBTS FT. AVIELLA (CRYSTAL KNIVES REMIX)

Lindsey OhComment

The Milwaukee based Crystal Knives has been on the radar for a while now with his dreamy melodic bass music. The young producer originally started his journey in music by being a jazz drummer, which then turned him onto production and songwriting. Now he brings us his latest remix of Spirix's - 'Little Doubts' and man is it good. Chiptune plucks fill the space as Aviella's whimsical voice glides across the melodies with ease. From there percussion breathes energy into the track as we get led into the drop full of dazzling synths, a gritty lead and little bleep bloops (idk what to call it...judge me) that add the perfect finishing touches. Now what are you waiting for, go on check it out! 

MICHAEL MAR - HAVE IT ALL (FT. AXEL MANSOOR)

Alli LindseyComment

Good Evening Beautiful Buzzz Fam! If you've been looking for a tune to carry you into your weekend on good note then look no further! Today newcomer to the scene Michael Mar released his second track with one of our favorite singer/songwriters Axel Mansoor, and man is it good. Michael starts the track with horn like vocal chops and then transitions us into beautiful guitar riffs that compliment Axel's buttery voice like limes do to Corona. With amazing production and just as amazing songwriting, this track will have you saying hello to the weekend in no time...maybe we really can 'Have It All'.

THUTMOSE - KARMA (FEAT. ALEX MALI)

Music, Original MixEricComment

Once upon a time ya boy went to a sacred place called the good ole Hollywood Bowl for a show with the one and only Pete Tong. We were there to rock out to some of the most classic Ibiza dance records accompanied by the epic Heritage orchestra. Funny enough I hear Pete announce "Please welcome Thutmose to the stage!" I looked around and was like whattt?? Is that Thutmose I heard? I had been hearing murmurings about this up and coming rapper, but was definitely surprised to see him take that kind of stage. He performed flawlessly, and I knew it was time to check out what all this Thut is about. Today I'm bringing you his latest, a soulful rendezvous of bobbing bass and laid back vibes. Thut gets rockin on the track both singing and rapping in between Alex Mali's delicately yearning vocals. This ones a chill jam and I think you're gonna love it.

THOREAU - GOD'S PLAN (REWORK)

Mike DooseComment

Thoreau is no stranger to us here at Beautiful Buzzz. From tracks like his Paramore and Green Day 'Thoreau-Backs' to his more recent originals, the Colorado producer has made his style known. Now he takes on Drake's latest track 'God's Plan' by making a cover/remix that gives it a whole new energy while still capturing that Drake sound.  With the huge synth drop that we have come to love, with the crisp percussion, this track will have you singing and dancing along from the time you hit play. You might even realize some different lyrics such as "I only love my cat and my snowboard i'm sorry"...if you pay attention in the second half.

GHASPER - LUVN U

Music, Original Mix, EPMike DooseComment

Ghasper is a name familiar to many in the electronic music space, particularly among fans of intricate instrumental production and forward-thinking sound design. He just released his debut EP Mima which I listened to all the way through twice on my flight to New York last week, and let me tell you—it is excellent. With eight regular tracks and six bonus tracks, it's really more of an LP, and I'm not complaining.

While it’s difficult to pick a stand-out track, “Luvn U” is one that stuck out for a couple reasons. Percussively, Ghasper utilizes unique rhythmic patterns and sounds that surprise and delight. He allows each primary instrument to feature the melody at different points in the song. Sometimes it’s the chopped vocals, other times it’s the massive side-chained synthesizers, and at times it’s what sounds like a malleted percussion instrument. Each instrument tells its own story, and they work together gorgeously. Do yourself a favor and peep the whole Mima project on Spotify and revel in the talent that is Ghasper.
