Albums | Denver-based DJ/producer/multi-instrumentalist Boogie Lights drops genre-defying LP DISCO DANCE THERAPY
Posted by VMan on January 8, 2025
Boogie Lights, the visionary producer/DJ/drummer and frontman of the dynamic 10-piece ensemble The Boogie Bunch, is thrilled to celebrate the release of his debut album, DISCO DANCE THERAPY.
DISCO DANCE THERAPY showcases Boogie Lights‘ genre-blending mastery across 11 tracks, taking listeners on a journey through his artistic identity – a sonic ethos influenced by house, disco, funk, bass, soul, and hip-hop. Featuring contributions from members of The Boogie Bunch—a rotating ensemble of talented musicians on saxophone, guitar, keys, soulful vocals, and more—the album acutely reflects Boogie Lights’ creative philosophy: by combining empowering lyrics and rhythms that inspire listeners to embrace the moment and dance through life’s challenge, Boogie Lights spotlights music’s transformative power to uplift and heal.
“The concept of DISCO DANCE THERAPY relates to the relationship between music and mental health. The theory of dance therapy is referenced in the title track, how sometimes ‘all you need is a beat to get back on your feet.’ The album is an uplifting expedition through indie, funk, disco, and house led by empowering lyrics focused on mental wellness, spreading love to the universe, and living in the moment.” – Boogie Lights
The album highlights a bevy of vocalists from The Boogie Bunch, including Denver’s soul queen DZIRAE GOLD, hip-hop savant Deezy Le Phunk, Shawn Dunbar (Hereami), and special guest Montel Moore. Boogie Lights also lends his voice to select tracks, supported by a lineup of stellar musicians: Rix (Ricky Feria) on guitar, Chando on keys/synth, Ty Piña on saxophone, Ben Suarez from The Hip Snacks on bass, and Daniel Colbert on violin.
This collective effort imbues an authentic, infectious energy into the album, resulting in a singular fusion Boogie Lights has coined Electronic Dance Funk (EDF) – a seamless blend of live funk and electronic dance music

Electronic | Axel Thesleff Drops New Track, “2 Down”
Posted by VMan on December 11, 2020
Axel Thesleff recently put out an uplifting melodic bass infused single and music video for a track called “2 Down” and it’s a feel good track that is much needed with everything going on in the world right now. The single represents letting go of the cycle of negativity to welcome one’s inner light and forgiveness. Ethereal vocals and synths in flux pair with a mother’s journey through meadows and streams of Lapland as she overcomes the worst of sufferings and finds a gratitude towards life. Check out a quote from Axel on the release and the visual below, under that watch the video for “2 Down “. Enjoy!
“The 2 Down music video depicts a journey of a lonely backpacker in a vast, dreamlike landscape of a never-ending mountain range. The traveler seems to be completely lost in thought. Painful memories start to arise from the past and she is forced to dive into them. She must fight the demons of guilt, blame, and sorrow within in order to break free from this mental dissonance and find forgiveness, acceptance, and gratitude to replace them. The story is about overcoming the worst of sufferings and clearing one’s mind from agony. It’s about facing one’s deepest fears and painful emotions head-on and growing from them as a person. No one is perfect and sometimes one needs acceptance in order to move forward in life and strive to do one’s best. Life is short, and we should be spending it loving each other instead of fighting. Ultimately, 2 Down is about gratitude towards life”. -Axel

American newcomer Kris Cody just dropped a track called “Zonin Out” featuring the gorgeous voice of Anya Siviski, and man is it brilliant! “This track grasps an emotional state of instability and a blurred mental frame of mind – the feeling of wanting to be with someone so badly, your mind’s adrift, away from physical reality….a story almost everyone goes through at some point” – Kris Cody. The best part about music is its ability to invoke so much raw emotion within the listener, and this track does exactly that! Kris Cody is definitely someone to keep an eye out for, but for now check out “Zonin Out”.

Hip-Hop | Gaines – Chill Out (Loud Remix)
Posted by LoffyG on March 28, 2012
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Macadelic remixes have begun! This one comes from my man Gaines who put his own spin on Mac Miller’s “Loud”. It’s titled “Chill Out” and I’m really feeling this one, especially his sound on the hook. Gaines is someone who I’ve been showing a lot of support for since he approached me months back to promote his video for “Mental“. Since then, he’s been on his grind and dropped a dope video which featured Mod Sun called “Party“. If you’re diggin’ Gaines you can check out his previous videos after the jump!
