Electronic | Akouo – Last Time

Posted by on January 21, 2014

I originally fell in love with Tasmanian producer Akouo because of his remixes, which are often derived from a variety of genres and artists and evolve into fantastic original works on their own. Today Akouo (via Die High Records) brings us a taste of his own homemade production – and vocals! “Last Time,” the first single off his upcoming EP, Mesa, is everything and more I’d expect from the artist: a combination of that trending ADM sound that us everywhere else in the world can’t get enough of, and that special Akouo flavor.

“The track is basically about people who spend too much time trying to please the ones in their work environment and no time pleasing the ones they love. It also serves as a reminder or warning to my future self, to always put family first,” explains Akouo in a recent interview with Kick Kick Snare. Oh, what a lovely reminder to listen to, over and over again.

Bass, Deep House | Funkystepz – Loveshy EP

Posted by on January 14, 2014

If you haven’t already, meet Funkystepz, a UK-based bass//garage//house//whatever-tickles-your-fancy producing collective. I’m still playing catch up from my holiday hiatus but their latest release, Loveshy EP, is not to be overlooked. In fact, it’s a really well-rounded EP, with a deep house feel running consistent throughout however also considerably versatile and experimental featuring some incredible vocals. These guys have provided you with a perfect track for whatever mood you may be in. My personal favorites include “Feel The Vibe” feat. Monique (oh, you’ll feel it alright) and the über-funky-moomba-house meets Jersey club, “Light Up” feat. Sim Devine. The EP is available for free download, as well as most of their other releases via Facebook. Get down on it.

Hip-Hop, Rap | Vonny del Fresco – Noir Designer

Posted by on January 12, 2014

With the sheer volume of new rappers emerging every day, it never ceases to amaze me how small the hip-hop community actually is. The interconnectivity of all us youngins’ once again came around full circle when “Noir Designer” graced my inbox earlier this week. Although I was familiar with Vonny del Fresco, I never had sat down and truly listened to what he had to offer.

The distorted voice and harsh passion he brings with every line, helps del Fresco paint a vivid picture of a woman caught up in the materialistic glitz and glamour. The almost-satanic sounding song is the antithesis of a typical ballad. As del Fresco explains,

“Noir Designer” tells the tale of a night’s encounter with a female living in a materialistic world, feeding off of greed inspired by her surroundings.

A beautiful exterior disguises inner ugliness.

The finer things allow her to feel secure, indulgence in excess–drugs, sex, sparkling nights–helps her cope.

She meets someone who understands her urges–a man who wants nothing more than to use her in exchange for giving her everything she desires.

A powerful message put forward in a strikingly blunt and confrontational manner is all summed up with a thought-provoking question: Is this modern love?

Bass, Deep House, Mix | NVOY – Twerktape

Posted by on January 11, 2014

Deep house duo NVOY showcase their sophisticated, dapper style in their sophomore mixtape, Twerktape, redefining the world’s most exploited dance trend in a way that I can totally get down with. In fact, I tested out this mixtape at a pregame the other day and results show that 10 out of 10 party goers were observed to be grooving during playtime. Not bad. Highlights include a variety of refreshingly new (to my radar, at least) deep house and bass tracks, all your favorite NVOY originals, and a remix of “Gas Pedal” that is absolutely legend. So put that champagne on the rocks and the speakers on loud and watch the ladies flock, folks.

Deep House | FlicFlac – Triangle

Posted by on December 26, 2013

I’ve been living in a horrible, dark period where I’ve listened to just about each and every song on my iPhone and iPod’s limited memory about 15 times in the past few weeks of traveling via plane, train, subway, bus, taxi, and foot, not to mention the times I hide my headphones under my hair when I want to mute all the family ramblings. You know how the holidays go. Luckily the latest free download from Austrian duo FlicFlac was a breath of fresh air. It only took about 17 seconds to be exact for that tingly feeling ya get when you listen to a new song to build inside me, and by a minute in, I’ve already had a huge grin on my face. Let the sexy saxophone take you away.
