Posted by BIGLIFE on October 31, 2015
Touring Australia and North America this October/November, RUFUS makes his FreshNewTracks.com debut with an incredible tune titled “Like An Animal” that was featured in Oliver Heldens’s “Heldeep Radio” episode. I tried to find the track on 1001Tracklists.com (if you’re not familiar it’s an incredible tool) and nobody had the official Soundcloud link. Luckily, I found the link this afternoon and the track already had a bajillion plays. Make sure you support this artist by picking up the single via iTunes below. What an awesome tune.

Chill | DIME$, A Small Artist With A Not-So-Small Sound
Posted by VMan on September 29, 2015
I stumbled upon DIMES recently and I couldn’t believe what I heard. An artist who has grabbed the attention of the likes of The Chainsmokers, and more, yet his following and plays are so small.
Let’s change that. DIMES is the most exquisite fusion of all the best chill house elements that have been floating around in 2015. If you like anything ranging from Gryffin, Hotel Garuda, BANKS, or Cignature. You will fall completely in love with DIMES.
From “Galantis – Runaway [U&I] (DIMES Remix)” to “The Chainsmokers – Let You Go (DIMES Remix)” and now “Kaskade – Disarm You (DIMES Remix,)” this act knows how to make hit tracks. Listen to his upload on SoundCloud above, it’ll be the best move you make all day.

Albums, Alternative, Chill, Pop | Outasight Is Up To Trouble With His New Single ‘Big Trouble’

‘One Hit Wonder’. That one phrase that every artist has nightmares about. For the Yonkers, New York native Outasight, this was starting to become reality.
In 2012 everyone was listening to his single ‘Tonight Is The Night’; your older sister, your little cousin, your mom, even your grandfather knew ‘EVERYBODY GO!’. He was touring nationally, performed at the NHL All Star game and at the age of 29 had finally ‘made it’. Now what? He followed up with some very solid singles ‘Now or Never’ and my favorite, ‘Shine (featuring Chiddy Bang)’, off of the album ‘Nights Like These’. Unfortunately that doesn’t cut it when you had one of the biggest, if not the biggest song of that calendar year.
Over the last year Outasight has gone independent, moved from New York to Los Angeles and has a new sound. While his sound has always had undertones of positivity and good vibes masked by pop production, his new sound is funky as fuck. Catchy guitar riffs, old school horns, funky bass, mixed with some pop and not to mention the clever and catchy writing that got us all hooked on Outasight in the first place. We recently caught up with Outasight and here is what he had to say about moving to Los Angeles and how his new sound came together…
I moved to Los Angeles around a year ago and right away got into the more laid back attitude. I would just throw little parties and bbq’s and the soundtrack was a bunch of 70’s and 80’s funk . I started jamming a bunch with my buddies Cook and Shiben, and everything turned out real funky. The Wild Life was the first track we made, and behind the scenes it ended up getting a bunch of opportunities. The whole process just felt real natural. The record has horns everywhere courtesy of my man Carlos Sosa, it just jams. I’m excited to share it with everyone.
A few months back he debuted his new sound with the single ‘The Wild Life’ which found its way on to the latest run of Bud Light Lime commercials. Today, we get the self titled track off his forthcoming project ‘Big Trouble’. This single is refreshing. If you don’t immediately add this to your summer, beach, or pool playlist you’re missing out.
With music like this you can expect your mother, grandfather, little cousin and older sister will be singing Outasight again very, very soon.
Be sure to Pre-Order his new alum ‘Big Trouble’ on iTunes NOW!
