Ambient, Electro | Barcelona – Background (MSG Remix)

Posted by on February 2, 2014

Despite their million+ fans, I was previously unaware of Barcelona. The group has chocked their SoundCloud full of remixes, and one in particular that really made a lasting impression was MSG’s “Background” reworking. The song takes ambient elements from Barcelona’s catchy vocals and mixes them with the deep house sounds that are making their rounds across the music world. The result is pure bliss for an entire four minutes and thirty eight seconds.

Both MSG and Barcelona hail from the Northwest state of Washington, a hub for all things culture and music. The local influences allowed for this track to click on multiple levels, making it enjoyable for indie and electronic fans alike.

I encourage you all to dive in to this song and stay up to date with future releases via Barcelona’s SoundCloud page.

Cream Collective has been killin’ it lately. Orca is the newest addition to the Cream Collective, hailing from Brighton, Britain. “My Zenith” is chill, relaxing and tranquil, without being boring.

Look out for his upcoming collaboration with SYZ in February on Cream Collective, and grab this one for free straight from Soundcloud!

Ambient, Chill | Atu – Doubts

Posted by on January 2, 2014

Here’s another lovely track to kick off January right. Atu’s original track “Doubts” has a superb atmosphere and some really smooth piano in it. Ambient and classy, I have no doubt (haha get it) that this track is excellent. If we had a tab for “baby making music” I would definitely pop this track in there. The little extra section at the end is especially pretty. Big ups to Atu for this one!

Ambient, Drum & Bass, Electro | GXSP – I.C.E.

Posted by on October 6, 2013

This dude has got some serious underground talent. People in the UK love him, so I think it’s about time we all get on the GXSP bandwagon. ‘I.C.E.’ drops at about 1:30 and it HITS. With a bouncy melody and great subs, here’s the tune of the hour to wind down to on your mellow (or not so mellow) Sunday night.
