DJ KOZE- BONFIRE

Taylor FayComment

German producer Stefan Kozalla, better known as DJ Koze has been making a name for himself in the German hip-hop scene since the mid 90’s. Established as one of the most playful producers, he’s remixed for many, including Chicks on Speed, Rah Band, Matias Aguayo, and countless others. His first solo album, Amygdala appeared back in 2013 courtesy of Pampa. This release came 8 years after his first full-length, Kosi Comes Around. Experimenting with proper Kompakt-style minimal techno, ambient, break beat, and dream pop- he cultivates legendary musical expression. In 2015, Koze released a mix for the DJ-Kicks series and in 2016, put out a Pampa sampler. One of his latest releases, “Bonfire” comes from his full-length LP, Knock Knock. “Bonfire” is concurrently inviting and apprehensive, mixing pulsing atonal synthesizers with warm vocals sampled from Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon. There's always a beautiful, magical element in any Koze release. If he didn’t already win you over with his remix of “Operator” at Dekmantel, no worries you have 16 more tracks to fall in love with.

KULTUR - OFF TO GET LOST

Music, Original MixSara NatkinsComment

France-native Kultur is most definitely one of my favorite up and coming artists of 2018. After he made waves - no pun intended - with his captivating release, “Ocean,” the adroit artist has once again crafted a piece that wields great depth and pulchritude. The title of his new single, “Off To Get Lost,” could not be more fitting as it's a spiraling musical journey that listeners will discover themselves getting lost in. Embellished throughout with shadowy vocal chops, the song enters with rounded percussives that advance to a rapid, quivering rhythm. The beat then intertwines with mystic, beckoning synths and dreamy vocals that paint a lulling illusion of being lifted off the ground. Possessing a track record of music as beautiful as his, I’d strongly advise you to put Kultur on your radar.

Since the rise of hip-hop in the 1970s, the revolutionary genre has been in a constant of state of flux. Over the years, prominent figures in rap have redefined the aesthetic elements that define its pioneering sound. Despite the seemingly simple nature of setting new standards in any given genre, it takes a true visionary to spearhead change in the world of hip-hop. Creating a wave of his own, Los Angeles-based rapper Armani White is solidifying his legacy as a pillar for contemporary rap. After the celebrated release of  “Public School,” the lead single off of his forthcoming full-length project, Armani White is back in style with the unveiling of “casablanco freestyle.” This thunderous freestyle features production from the storied Soundcloud producer, Sango. Their formidable dynamic is illustrious, as Sango lays down a simple yet resounding beat that oscillates looming piano riffs. Armani’s spit-fire verses puncture the beat creating a palpable aura of true-roots hip-hop. Lace up your freshest kicks, and ride the Armani White wave with us. Volume up.

SOUL CATALYST - ONLY YOU FT. FELISH

Taylor FayComment

Seeing that Beautiful Buzzz thrives from innovative artists, we understand the impact they have in inspiring people all around the world. One artist in particular has enamored me since 2016 when I first heard,  “Scenic Route ft. Felish.” Los Angeles based producer Andrew Coulter, better known as Soul Catalyst, has consistently been an artist I can queue for anyone, anytime, in any environment and receive the same positive reaction from. His stylistic choices render a daydream essence. He's held his own remixing favorites such as, Daft Punk’s “Lose Yourself to Dance” and ODESZA’s “White Lies.” With light filled, organic, care-free melodies and vocals, it’s clear he’s mastered the art of combining electronic house beats with dreamy psychedelic chill. He's just released, “Only You ft. Felish” off his forthcoming album, Silver Linings. It’s hard to say what’s in the future for Soul Catalyst, but I’m sure he’ll have no problem turning it into a beautiful journey.
