Indie | PASTEL feat. Lily L – Look Me In The Eyes
Posted by JT on January 14, 2015
This is a track anyone can relate to – just as my winter blues were peaking PASTEL brings me back to a state of summer and delivers the soothing ‘Look Me In The Eyes.’ The vocals are so colorful that I can’t help but hold my smile. Vink & Lex of PASTEL are no strangers to this genre of music, delivering a catalogue of music that displays consistency and quality. Keep your ears at attention for these two, I predict some major moves in their near future.

Stunning. Mesmerizing. Groovy. Now pull out a thesaurus because I could go on an adjective binge trying to explain this track’s level of freshness. Pat Lok took Desiree Dawson’s sexy voice and delivered a track hotter than a Little Caeser’s Hot n’ Ready fresh out the oven. I’m addicted to his sounds more than I expected – it leaves its mark in your mind. This Canadian from beautiful British Columbia showcases his Vancouver roots with this one and it’s getting me wetter than the Pacific Ocean. Scope this new addition to your “late night jam” playlist.
Indie | Just Kiddin’ – Thinking About It (ROOM8 Remix)
Posted by JT on January 14, 2015
This promo just landed in my dropbox and I have to say I was blown away. The boys at Room8 have flipped the original tune and added a futuristic element oriented by midnight sounds and carried away into a 90s inspired rock vibe. This one is catchy – they utilized the vocals effectively and constructed a quality tune. I’m very impressed by Room8 and look forward to what they have in store for us.

Posted by JT on January 13, 2015
DIMES is back with another release and as I expected, he’s produced another quality track with a developing signature sound for himself that incorporates elements of funk and tropical goodness. “Flaws” is a classic tune and I was very surprised when DIMES shot me a message with the link. I didn’t know what to expect but he twisted the vocals with feel good synths and created this friendly tune. I’m impressed with his consistency and look very forward to his future releases! Scope this, it’s a guaranteed addition any upbeat playlists you’ve got brewing.
Indie | Shaparder & LRX Takes Us To Tropical Paradise With Their Remix To “Fais Rien”
Posted by JT on January 6, 2015
I just can’t stop smiling as Shaparder & LRX take me to a place much warmer than this Canadian tundra I’m stuck in for the next few years. As with any tropical tune you’ll find elements of the much loved saxophone, xylophone and piano, but what really makes this track is the vocals. Friends are made with music like this. Hats off to Shaparder & LRX for this fantastic remix.House, Indie | Shèmce Puts Betty Who ‘All of you’ Through a tropical treatment

Shèmce has tirelessly been at work in the studio, catching the attention of RCA Records. Refusing to stray from his summer-inspire sunshine vibes, he’s twisted the original ‘All Of You’ and mixed in elements of tropical house and nu-disco to create a feel-good masterpiece. These vocals have been perfectly matched to create a light-hearted atmosphere filled with positivity. I’ve found a new theme song and this one is sure to make your holiday playlist as the year comes to a close. Lay back and let Shèmce take you away.
