CRYWOLF - DRIP (MIELO REIMAGINATION)
Music, RemixCommentFollowing the well-received unveiling of his widow [OBLIVION pt. 1] album, LA-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Crywolf is casting colleagues and new-found producers alike for his release of The OBLIVION [Reimagined]. The debut curtain call for the forthcoming remix catalog goes to Chicago-based producer Mielo. With three years of success under his belt, the versatile producer gives an 80s inspired treatment to “DRIP.” While the original joint was cut with geometric soundscapes and syncopated melodies, Mielo rinses out the track with a bit of buoyancy. A slow, narcotic intro complements Crywolf’s haunting signature sound, later blossoming into a futuristic network of punchy drum kicks and electrifying synths. A gritty film cascades atop echoing vocals, projecting colorful shadows throughout this dynamic remix. An immersive listening experience, Mielo’s clever sound design stands as the archetypal introduction to Crywolf’s The OBLIVION [Reimagined]. Watch this space.

BRONZE WHALE - SLOWING DOWN
CommentIf you’ve been a fan of Beautiful Buzzz for a while, then you know that we have been long time fans of the Austin based duo Bronze Whale. Over the years the group has morphed from their more electronic leaning productions to their now R&B infused indie-electronic compositions. With the addition of their own singing and songwriting, the duo took their project to the next level and turned it into something completely unique. Soul radiates from each note, the percussion amazes in its perfection and the production somehow seems to get cleaner and cleaner. Their latest song “Slowing Down” is no exception and maintains the excellence we expect from the duo. With uplifting synths, a groovy bass-line, a little help from good friend Aire Atlantica and of course Benny’s silky smooth voice, the guys create the perfect summer time track. So what are you waiting for, grab your friends, get your drink, roll the windows down and let this one take ahold.
PAT LOK - FEARLESS (FT. LUKE BURR)
Music, Original MixCommentPat Lok just unveiled his new Corazón EP, out now via French powerhouse Kitsuné Musique. The Vancouver native's Corazón EP is both fiction and cautionary tale, metaphor and lament - revolving around a relationship that takes place over only 36 hours. In the larger sense, Corazon is about something we each deal with in varying levels and how we treat ourselves and each other in a time of 'instant everything'. We all desperately want real connections but maybe aren't so sure how to go about them building them. Sometimes these intense, rapid encounters occur naturally - but sometimes they are just illusions we've built up in our minds from clicking 'Like' on a few posts or exchanging a few messages. Listen to the illustrious “Fearless” featuring Luke Burr, and explore the moving 7-track effort today.
[PREMIERE] BRONZE WHALE - GOLD GRAIN FT. JET HORNS (CLOUDCHORD REMIX)
CommentThe Austin based producer, guitarist, and Emmy-winning musician, Derek VanScoten, better known as Cloudchord has been effortlessly creating soulful compositions full of intricate guitar for the past couple of years. With tracks like “Sunlit” and “Stay Puff” his laid back and soothing style truly takes ahold and transports the listener to a place of stillness. Now, for his next feat he tackles one of Bronze Whale’s tracks, “Gold Grain” which speaks to the cycle of work hard and play hard. In his rendition, Derek uses delicate vocal harmonies along with groovy guitars and funky piano to slow the track down just a bit, yet he still manages to keep all the energy of the original. As the hi hats ring through the speakers, Benny’s voice shortly follows and ensures that your foot keeps tapping and head keeps bobbing. With birds flying in the background, let Cloudchord introduce you to your next favorite song. Also, be on the lookout for Bronze Whale to release their full remix package for their album The Shape of Things, in July.
