A combination of a warm organic guitar rhythm holstered by a timeless vocal melody, Starley has created nothing short of beautiful with her latest release, “Call On Me.” Using a harmonious percussive aspect to lead into the chorus while maintaining a funky sense of euphoria at the drop, this track gives listeners an oxymoron of feelings from tranquility to the urge to get up and dance. It is very reassuring to stumble across fresh talent, and Starley falls nothing short of that.

Jenaux has been blowing us all away with his “big-room funk” sound, and he just took The Chainsmokers’ “Don’t Let Me Down” to an entirely new level. From the man himself: “I pitched the track up a semitone, created some funky vibes, added some guitar riffs, and a groovy horn section in the drop. It’s quite rad and different.” Different is usually good, Jenaux. But in your case, different is always incredible! Jenaux is giving this bad boy away for free so be sure to grab it now!

Another week, another brand new Justin Jay tune, and we couldn’t be happier about it.

Chill, Electronic | Jordon Ramz Brings the Warm Weather Vibes with “Golden Hour” EP
Posted by Spice on March 30, 2016
Singer/songwriter/producer Jordan Ramz dropped his debut EP earlier this week and it’s perfectly timed with the onset of post-Daylight Savings Time evenings al fresco. Chilled-out and enticingly tropical, “Golden Hour” is a languorous journey through vibrant sax breakdowns, warm guitar riffs, and rich vocals from the artist himself. The titular track is a must-listen — along with personal favorite “Freedom.” Don’t sleep on the great harmonies in the second verse of “Sunlight,” either. Check out the full EP above.
House | Justin Jay Announces Fantastic Voyage Album By Releasing “Weatherman”
Posted by Tay on March 23, 2016
It’s not very often that we see an album from a house and techno artist, but Justin Jay is not a typical artist. The youngest dirtybird has spent the last year pushing the boundaries of his music creatively, teaming up with his college friends to incorporate live instruments and elements of blues, jazz, soul, funk, and rock into his typical house production to create a new side project, Justin Jay & Friends. He debuted Justin Jay & Friends with the release of “Karma,” which was a resounding success, and helped pave the way for Justin’s Fantastic Voyage tour.
Now, Justin Jay is putting it all together for an album – Fantastic Voyage Part 1 – and he’s just released the first track off of his magnum opus, “Weatherman.” Featuring Benny Bridges on guitar and Josh Taylor on vocals, “Weatherman” demonstrates Justin’s matured take on production and evolved stance on house music, as Benny Bridges and Josh Taylor take the lead on the track with a heavy guitar lead and smooth vocals that are more fitting for a blues track than a house record, while Justin deftly gives “Weatherman” his signature groove. As Justin explains, the Fantastic Voyage album is a release about exploration and getting out of his comfort zone. The album will be released in a unique manner, as the 12 tracks will be split across separate EPs and released on separate labels to showcase the unique, varied sound of each individual track that are all tied together by one thing – Justin Jay.

The Los Angeles-based producer, Justin Jay, is back with his first release of the year, and he’s remixed his fellow dirtybird and labelmate, Billy Kenny, and his track, “Work Me.” While Justin Jay’s remix is unlike his typical booty-bouncing house stylings, it’s nothing short of phenomenal, as he infuses the track with complex layers of jazz-y undertones and funky vibes, underlined by a chic house beat and electric guitar plucks. Justin Jay is in the middle of his Fantastic Voyage tour right now, alongside his friends and collaborators, Josh Taylor, Benny Bridges, and Henry Was, so don’t miss out when he comes to your city. You can find more information on the Fantastic Voyage tour here.
