Albums | Haan808 Unveils Addictive Anthem ‘I Ain’t Playin’
Posted by VMan on October 9, 2023
New Zealand’s Haan808 continues to impress. With releases on Good Enuff, Monta, Quality Goods Records, and bitbird, the talented producer has been carving out his own lane with the backing of some of the best in the game. Marking his return to FUXWITHIT comes ‘I Ain’t Playin’ an addictive genre-blurring bop. The track follows his previous releases with the label including ‘Star Fire,’ ‘Stay With Me’ and ‘Main Phase.’
‘I Ain’t Playin’ is a groove-filled anthem that mixes elements of Haan808’s bass-leaning signature style with hints of UKG for a fresh feel. Built around an impassioned and addictive vocal loop, it creates an incredibly catchy feeling while delivering an emotional pull. The lyrics will be running through your head like an old flame. The introduction combines lush pads, crisp percussion, and airy synths for a dreamy vibe. Hitting listeners with a wild switch-up, the track ups its energy with dancey drum programming, pulsing low-end, ghostly vocal chops, and commanding melodies. Echoed vocals and empty space intensify the impact of the switches. Equally at home soundtracking a break-up or rattling dance floors, ‘I Ain’t Playin’ is an infectious anthem for any occasion.
“After watching Skrillex, Four Tet & Fred again.. play they are set at Coachella live stream, all the songs had crazy switch ups and all the songs had such a groove to me. It also looked like they were just having a jam, nothing planned—big inspo for this song. I approached the song the same way. No intention just see what happens. I enjoyed making something a bit more upbeat than usual. There is a lot of sound design in this track for me” – Haan808

Posted by BIGLIFE on June 14, 2017
Meet 13th Zodiac. LA’s next big house duo that you need to get to know. We received their brand new “Booty Sweat” single this week from ItsNoRequests and absolutely love it. In fact, we can’t get enough. We’ve been abusing the repeat button on Soundcloud since it released. When asked about the meaning of their brand new “Booty Sweat” single, 13th Zodiac said:
“Booty Sweat is a track that is inspired by a global pandemic club-goers face today. The track itself is driven by a thumpy, yet groovy bass line, and followed by a low pitched voice that cuts through the mix to lock down the groove. It is guaranteed to instill perspiration between moist thighs worldwide.”
Available on all your favorite streaming platforms, “Booty Sweat” is the first release of many from the LA duo dropping this summer. Get invested. Keep an eye. 13th Zodiac is a group on the rise.

You know those songs that get you to match your normal movements to their beat without you even noticing? You’re brushing your teeth or walking to your car and all of a sudden it becomes a dance move. Bobby Puma’s latest track “Anything Is Possible” featuring Zach Sorgen is totally one of those songs.
With a lyrical melody and day-making easy groove, the song is instantly add-to-playlist worthy. And it’s a total departure from his last release, a hard-hitting, electro-influenced remix of Calvin Harris and Rihanna’s “This Is What You Came For.” Bobby Puma has demonstrated his knack for versatility once again and, as always, has kept us wanting more.

House | Justin Jay Enlists Josh Taylor and Ulf Bonde for Fantastic Voyage Pt. 2
Posted by Juicebox on May 3, 2016
Justin Jay has been on an absolute tear this year. The dirtybird phenom not only announced the release of his debut album, Fantastic Voyage (The Album!), but he also premiered the first four tracks off of his magnum opus, which comprised an EP that has been released on Black Butter Records. As Justin’s Fantastic Voyage tour, which brought SoCal house party vibes all over the world, is starting to wrap up, he’s ramping up the releases again, and he’s starting with the second EP, or part, of his album on Jimpster’s Freerange Records imprint. The two-track EP leads off with “I See You,” an eight-minute track featuring Josh Taylor and Ulf Blonde that takes listeners on a journey through the underground, as Justin lays down a house backbone bolstered by a synth-driven melody and heavy bass kicks. The second track, “Indecision,” is yet another showcase of Justin Jay’s creative genius, as it feels like a tune more fitting for an 80s jazz lounge than a dance imprint, but still displays an undeniable groove. Check out the full EP above.

“Obsessed” could not be a more accurate representation of what comes to mind after copious spins of Bordertown’s phenomenal remix of the already enchanting Tom & Collins track, “Obsessed.” This remix is truly a cinematic experience, introducing us to its bouncing bass-lines with nothing short of what sounds like an ensemble of strings. Although still full of energy, this track calls on listeners to become entranced with every beat. Bordertown is setting the bar high with this deep house groove and we can’t wait to see what other tricks are up their sleeves.
