ROOTKIT - SPARKS FT. CASEY COOK
Music, Original MixCommentI’ve been searching for a way to come back to life … the world has us all discombobulated and I’ve been on a new self discovering journey with the massive changes facing all of us in the music industry. I’m finding my way back through my roots, and this blog is what started it all for me personally. Always look back to what you know to find your way forward, the answers are there. I feel this with new track from Norwegian producer Rootkit called “Sparks ft. Casey Cook” that is filled with massive vibes. Out now via bitbird - this is a story of looking relationships to figure out how to move on … "This song is about that stage in a relationship where you ask yourself if you should stay in it or not. There's a loss of connection, the distance seems to be growing by the second, and you start overthinking and reflecting back on arguments. But the second they light you up again and give you that euphoric feeling, you retract right back to being in the "sparks", completely hung up on that feeling and sensation they give you.” - Rootkit
DROELOE X SEM - FACING THE SEA
Original Mix, MusicCommentDROELOE’s new single “Facing The Sea” is a dark and stormy track that builds on the electronic duo’s path towards a more experimental albeit, exciting route in dance music. The fresh tune marks the first release of a double-single series that the Dutch power players are putting out, showcasing music from artists they admire. “Facing The Sea” shines a light on the talents of fellow producer Sem, whom the bitbird signees have been supporting in live sets since last year.
The single is a thrilling journey for listeners of all music; taking them down a psychedelic road of sharp synths that are fused with the distinguished, addicting DROELOE style. Suffice to say, if you’re a DROELOE fan, you’ll inevitably find yourself continuing to be blown away by the duo’s fearless ability to explore unfamiliar musical territories and craft divergent sounds.
DUSKUS - LONGTIME
Music, Original MixCommentFall has officially kicked into full gear, and there’s no better way to welcome the crisp air and autumn colors than with a brand new groove such as the latest from bitbird‘s first-ever signee, Duskus, and his latest release “Longtime.”
The mellow, beat-ridden song finds the perfect balance between subtlety and high-energy- a track you can pretty much bump in any mood, at any time and any place. Comprised of seamless transitions, gorgeous intercepting layers of vocals and chops, and a house-like rhythm that urges you to get up and dance, there’s not one thing about this song that isn’t to love.
But what makes this track so special in particular is that the London-based producer released the single on his very own label imprint Kaleido. Might we say, the prospects are looking mighty high for the newly established label if it continues to serve as a home and outlet for bops as massive as “Longtime”. Based on Duskus’ track record, we can only assume this will certainly be the matter.

SAN HOLO - SHOW ME
Original Mix, MusicCommentShaping up to be one of the most influential contemporary electronic producers in the game, San Holo returns with passion and innovation with, “Show Me,” from his celebrated album1. The Dutch producer fuses glistening dance music with indie rock. Layering the electric guitar atop future-bass reverb, San Holo is a pioneer of a new wave of dance music. Breathing organic instrumentation into feel-good, digital production, “Show Me” is set to be a staple in his wildly influential career. This outline of righteously syncopated resonance stands as a testament that San Holo will never settle. Straddling the boundaries of experimental electronic and alternative dance music, “Show Me” is nothing short of stunning. The ever-evolving San Holo’s album1 is available now on all major streaming platforms- join us as we listen to the sounds of history being made with this charismatic manifesto of sounds.
LIFT ME FROM THE GROUND (FT. SOFIE WINTERSON) - SAN HOLO
Music, Original MixCommentMan oh man have we been EAGERLY anticipating some fresh jams from San Holo. Thankfully the bitbird gods heard our prayers and gave us exactly that.
The Dutch producer came in real hot with not just one, but two singles that give us a bit of insight as to what’s to come in his next album. One of the two songs I want to shine a light on is “Lift Me From The Ground.” Featuring the heavenly, breathy vocals of Sofie Winterson, San’s production compliments her voice exquisitely. He infuses the song with the same energy that is signature to the San Holo brand, combining intoxicating melodies live guitar elements and scattered, sparkling synths. Any and all listeners will surely feel elevated as soon as they lend their ears to "Lift Me From The Ground."
DEON CUSTOM - WITH YOU
Music, Original MixCommentThe San Holo-founded bitbird label has been on a serious roll since it was started in 2014. They've been signing young musical visionaries left and right who are indisputably paving the path towards the future for electronic music. An example of one of these power players is Dutch artist Deon Custom. He recently released his single "With You," which comes with much variegation as it pulls elements from multiple genres such as chill, indie, lofi, experimental and electronic. The song gives way to a psychedelic journey as it delicately weaves intermittent waves of both dissonant and constant harmonies through a down-tempo beat and a spectrum of glitchy synths. To say the least, I'm definitely looking forward to hearing what else Deon has in store for 2018.
TASKA BLACK - IN YOUR EYES (FT. AYELLE)
Original Mix, MusicCommentTaska Black and Ayelle have officially proven that together, they are a force to be reckoned with. Following their previous collaboration, "Dead Inside," the Dutch producer and London-based vocalist have united their skillsets for yet another "fire" (pun fully intended) hit titled "In Your Eyes." The bitbird label signee's latest features a powerful chorus imbued with harmonic synths serving as the cornerstone for the song. The production effortlessly coalesces with Ayelle's glossy vocals, generating a result that leaves us absolutely breathless.
