PLVTINUM - C'EST LA VIE

Music, Original MixEricComment

The energy of festival season is upon us, and my musical state of being has been thirsting for the summer jams. So when I came across this new tune from PLVTINUM I was immediately amped to get it up on the pages of BB. The production on this track is sonically great with top notch mixing laying the groundwork for a catchy pop hook that falls into a tropical style chorus with vocal chops and woah's that could brighten up even the dreariest of days. Ces't La Vie if you're unfamiliar, is the phrase meaning essentially "that's life" and the lyrics mirror a crazy night in Vegas. When shit hits the fan maybe it's easier to relax and just proclaim...C'est La Vie and let this song drift your cares away.

ELEPHANTE - PLANS (FT. BRANDYN BURNETTE) [INSTANT KARMA REMIX]

Music, RemixEricComment

Instant Karma has been making waves since their first release just a year ago. I really loved their "Flor - Unsaid" remix a while back and was excited when they sent me their latest an upbeat tropical infused rework of "Plans" from two BB regulars: Elephante and the workhorse Brandyn Burnette. The original was a joy to listen to check out our review here, but lets talk about what the bright good vibes duo has done for their remix. Using marimba-esque stabs they have built a lush tropical soundscape full of wandering airy arps supporting Brandyn's vocals. We're quickly lead to a bobbing halftime chorus chock full of fun melodies and vox chops. The record grooves along with such upbeat sweetness that it ends a quick 4 min later and I'm clamoring to hit play again. This one is ready to export you back into the rays of summer, you can also download this for free here.   

LINCOLN JESSER - BETWEEN THESE LINES FEAT. QUIÑ

Music, Original MixEricComment

Lincoln Jesser returns with another vibe-y deep house cut that's showing off his tropical side. "Between These Lines" is laid back tune that meanders its way forward with ease as the synth stabs lead us into fun drop with a vocal type chop/synth (I can't tell the difference sometimes now-a-days) that adds the exclamation point to the beautiful top line provided by Quiñ. We finally have an announced date of his Casa Mirage EP due November 18. No doubt this single will be included, and as we find out more from the track listing you will be the first to know. You can also stream this from Spinnin' here.

KING DECO - CASTAWAY

Music, Original MixEricComment

We've heard lots of buzzz surrounding King Deco. With excellent features on a couple of Illenium's tracks "Reverie" and "Spirals," we're pumped to see she has released her new single "Castaway!" Tropical feels through and through, this one it starts with steel drums and plump bass bringing us to her wonderful vocals. We get tastes of acoustic guitars and claps that encompass a well written hook of "ohh ehh ohhs" by the end that are just simply infectious. We know lots more good is coming from this talented songstress but "Castaway" is a hell of a start. Nab this as a free download here.
