Their carefree and infectious energy seamlessly translates in “Explicit” as it radiates a welcoming, and intoxicating vibration. The fluid rise and fall of demanding synth production breaks through the airwaves, riveting your senses and moving your body. This unfettered sound is, most simply put, fun. “Explicit” rolls with a lightning in a bottle resonance- check it out below. Happy Saturday.

BRIDGE GUY- CLAV IT YOUR WAY

Who doesn’t love Berlin? It’s unlike anywhere in the world for parties that don’t stop and dance floors that never sleep. It draws the crowd of residents and visitors alike, for obvious reason… THE MUSIC. Once again, the artists have not disappointed. Bridge Guy returns courtesy of Berlin Bass Collective with a dreamy two-track release from his EP, Neukolin CLAV. The first track of the EP, “CLAV it your way” incorporates playful, house-oriented beats with groovy chords, and evocative vocals for a brighter- more disco influenced sound. This lovely release speaks for itself, offering the perfect feel for any afterhour to keep the party going and the people bouncing!

JENAUX - GIVE IT UP

New York’s live-electronic visionary, Jenaux returns with a thunderous, 80s inspired single “GIVE IT UP.” Recognized for his fusion of live instruments with digital production, Jenaux is raising the bar for the dance music community. “GIVE IT UP” is a striking piece equipt with roaring guitar riffs that seamlessly oscillate a magnetic, future-funk beat. Boy Matthews, Jenaux’ counterpart on “GIVE IT UP” carries a dominating presence as his pronounced vocals penetrate its rolling cadence. Robust and righteously maddening, “GIVE IT UP” is intoxicating- awakening the senses as an element of its own. Riddled with the funk, Jenaux is solidifying his stance as a pillar for organic electronic music. Volume up.

NIGHTSEASON - NOTHING CALMS MY MIND

Choosing a debut single as a brand new act is probably one of the most difficult decisions in an artist’s career. It’s the first impression, and you never get a second chance at it. Automatically and instantaneously you’re defining your sound and crossing your fingers in hopes that listeners have a meaningful reaction. Nightseason’s “Nothing Calms My Mind” is one of the more exciting and inventive debuts in recent memory, and it feels like this group already has a very developed idea of what their “sound” is.

Somewhere between the alternative/indie rock of bands like Kings of Leon and Sir Sly and the left of center pop stylings of groups like Electric Guest and Alt J, this new duo composed of drummer/producer Patrick Zeinali and singer/guitarist Jordan Caiola has come together as Nightseason to craft innovative yet infectious music. “Nothing Ever Calms My Mind”, which was released Friday by artist-friendly curation platform and label Noon Pacific, has already caught the attention of key industry tastemakers such as Hillydilly and landed on Spotify’s New Alternative playlist. An honest and introspective tune featuring Caiola’s gritty, mature vocal prowess and Zeinali’s slow-burning, forward-thinking production, it’s nothing short of an impressive first offering. What's more impressive is these dudes met over the internet and made an entire EP together over email while across the country from each other. We're eager to hear that EP and can only hope for more Nightseason soon in the weeks and months to come!

RESTLESS MODERN - THE DEEP END

Chicago's indie electronic producer, Restless Modern  is back with "The Deep End," a striking and formidable indie-electronic track. What sounds like a full-piece band, is actually one multi-talented musician with the dexterity of four artists. In his latest release, "Deep End" we hear acoustic guitar synced with down-tempo, ethereal production. Placid and intellectual, this piece is window pane music as it showcases moments of raw indie-alternative resonance and romantically brooding vocals. "The Deep End" is poetry and rhythm seamlessly translated into audio. Thanks to mellowed-out drops and easy production, this project exudes a natural sense of placidity. Go deep with Restless Modern- stream it now. 

LUTTRELL - INTERGALACTIC PLASTIC

Anjunadeep mainstay and serious contender for world's best moustache, Luttrell, has left us spiraling into the stars with "Intergalactic Plastic,” the title track off his brand new EP. It's one of those songs that leaves you feeling weightless as it takes your hand and leads you on a journey through your own imagination. We’re not the only one’s melting into Luttrell’s atmospheric soundscapes - Tastemaker of the century, Annie Mac of BBC Radio 1, named it this week’s “Hottest Record,” a highly coveted (and well-deserved) accolade.

The San Francisco native has been steadily rising to the top of the deep house and techno ranks over the last couple years, but major support spots on Above & Beyond’s North American tour, an opening and closing set at ABGT 250, plus support on Lane 8’s Little By Little tour have made Luttrell one of the most sought after artists in the scene.  His intergalactic plastic spaceship is aiming straight for the moon and we are SO along for this ride.
