On the heels of their debut Dim Mak release "Rock Wit It" with PEACE MAKER!, Chicago-based upstart Birthdayy Partyy return with their brand new single "Supercharged." Distinguished DJs, producers, and tastemakers, Birthdayy Partyy is twin brothers Bryan and Jon Gorecki. The multi-hyphenate pair make intoxicating bass house music for the masses. Inspired by a world reopening after years long shutdown, "Supercharged" was born out of deep self-reflection and mass motivation. In their own words, Birthdayy Partyy describe it as such: "This track is definitely our most significant release to date for a lot of reasons. We called it 'Supercharged' because ever since the start of 2021, we've felt this energy that motivated the sh*t out of us. Shows are getting ready to start again. We spent the last year refining and perfecting our sound, and we finally started to build the dream team around our project. It really feels like we're leveling up in all the ways we needed to." A vivacious blend of technical production prowess and nuanced bass house flair, "Supercharged" is the funky intersection of infectious bass and disco. Catchy vocal chops laid atop a punchy kick set the stage of Birthdayy Partyy's latest, as the brotherly duo work their way into a frenetic release of electrifying bass house. Sonically combining the best elements of dance-floor ready disco and festival laced bass house, Birthdayy Partyy create the ultimate dance weapon for a world in return.
NATIIVE - REWIND
Music, Original MixComment
A relative newcomer by name but with the skillset that belies his years as a musician, NATIIVE is back with his newest single “Rewind.” Cultivating his sound with every release, NATIIVE is committed to releasing quality over quantity. Out now, “Rewind” is a modern day love song, reminiscing on emotions past and present, aiming to pause and rewind to those special moments. Fusing elements of UK Garage with modern synths and melodies, the emerging producer is looking to stake his claim among house music’s global elite.
“When I made this track, It was right around when quarantine was beginning to be lifted, and I was feeling a bit nostalgic of the past. I was listening to a lot of house music - reminiscent of that era when I got into production and electronic music. I produced 90% of the track in one sitting over the course of a couple hours and then I went about my day haha… Coming out of the year we’ve all been in, with the pandemic and being in lockdown, ‘Rewind’ to me is reflective, remembering the great times and remembering to not take for granted the great moments in life. Just have fun.” - NATIIVE

KERALA - WHAT IF (FEAT. MARIE LANG)
Music, Original MixCommentElectronic music has a new rising star. Producer and musician Kerala continues to turn heads and captivate hearts with his signature brand of beautiful electronic music. Inching closer to the release of his debut EP, the Denver-native returns with “What If” feat. Marie Lang. Kerala is Colorado-based producer Jordan Evanoff’s first solo endeavor. After years of touring with jamtronica/electronic rock band Evanoff, Evanoff has branched off to explore different avenues of sound design. His new sound is an uplifting cinematic indie-electronic experience, most closely aligned with the electronic pop & future bass genres, taking inspiration from pioneers such as Kasbo, Odesza and Forester. With production emulating a fluttering heartbeat, the lyrics in “What If” express a deep desire for another person’s love and trust while simultaneously revealing a growing anxiety that those feelings might not be returned. As it pertains to the Escapism story arc, Kerala’s newest single establishes the dilemma of our protagonist, setting the listener on a journey driven by musical motifs and thematic elements that flow throughout the entire EP. It’s a proper love song that can equally perform the duty of breakup soundtrack or empowering ballad. Escapism will be out August 4th as a self-release.
