If you’ve been following us over the past month, you may have come across an act by the name of Kaptain. This San Francisco creator dished out two singles leading up to the release of his full When The Sky Shimmers EP that dropped yesterday. We shared with you both “When The Sky Shimmers,” and “Testament” which blew me away, and now “Every Day of the Week” is here. Kaptain keeps his funky style intact, however he leans much more on the future sound in his production. Wavering synth work is matched with funky guitar and thick basses. It’s the perfect mix of a whole lot of things, and the wait was certainly worth the hype. Kaptain has been dominating playlists lately, which should come as no surprise. This dude has some real talent.

Kaptain is one of those smaller artists who puts out nothing but quality music. If you’re into chiller stuff, and you don’t know of this San Francisco artist, then you are missing out.

Future Funk | Louis Futon Gives Gallant’s “Weight In Gold” A Futuristic Flair
Posted by Juicebox on August 31, 2015
Gallant’s recently released single, “Weight In Gold,” has become one of this summer’s anthems. The LA-based R&B artist has a voice that is so unbelievably clean and smooth that it just lends itself perfectly to being remixed, and nearly every producer who could get their hands on “Weight In Gold” has delivered their own take on the track. One of the best remixes of “Weight In Gold” comes courtesy of Louis Futon, who infuses the track with his trademark futuristic style. Glitched out synths and rumblings bass lines perfectly complement Gallant’s soaring vocals and only further emphasize the stunning downtempo style of the remix. You can check it out above.
