Pop | Alxxa Teams Up With Gazzo For “Umbrella” Cover
Posted by Matt Keene on September 18, 2017
We had a chance to meet Alxxa over the weekend in Los Angeles and she’s the real deal. Her brand new take on Rihanna & Jay-Z’s “Umbrella” has us instantly hooked. Of the Gazzo produced cover she said:
“’Umbrella’ is such a badass song, and Gazzo and I knew we could do something different with it. That’s always the test of a good song, whether it’s stripped down, produced out, thrown into different genres, does it still work? Rihanna definitely got it right with this one and we had a good time putting our own spin to it.”
Keep your eye on Alxxa. She’s on the rise.

Albums | French Duo, My Dear, present a perfect song for the Summertime
Posted by dshaq on June 14, 2017
Out from retirement comes Dshaq. Today we have a fantastic offering from the French duo, My Dear. Very reminiscent of heavy 80s synthesizer music, A Day With You breaks their previous tracks’ molds and gives us a beautiful Nu-Disco track for the upcoming Summer months. A simple guitar riff leads the way during this one, with a powerful chorus to match. My Dear only has a couple tracks listed on their Soundcloud, but I would highly recommend checking out their other stuff – especially “Standing in This Dream”. Enjoy!

Posted by BIGLIFE on June 12, 2017
I got this promo sent recently, and I love it! Here is what the artists had to say, which is way better than what I had besides this tune being a smash:
Shraban releases his first song in over two months and it shows off all the work he’s been putting in. This new release ‘Shoot’ talks of some of the wildest times in his life, and carries the late night vibes prominent in the industry as of late. With chilling vocals and ambient vibes, the song has it all. Self produced by Shraban, his upcoming tape ‘Trap N B’ will be releasing soon as well.
Make sure you keep your eyes out for this newcomer!

Posted by BIGLIFE on June 9, 2017
CID. Unreal producer and DJ. CeeLo Green. Unreal artist and vocalist. They combine forces to deliver an absolute smasher called “Believer” that will have you moving 5 seconds into pressing that play button. CeeLo Green doesn’t always do EDM, but when he does, he does it with CID music. Of the new single, CID said:
“We are living in a time where so many bad things are happening around the world and it’s heartbreaking and discouraging. Despite that I think it’s still important to believe in the power of music. Music can be uplifting even on the darkest days. So especially now, I wanted to release a song that could give people hope and inspire peace and unity.” – CID
A wise choice as we predict “Believer” is going to smash the Spotify charts with its quality production, sunny vibes, and upbeat message. Make sure you use and abuse that play button. We will for weeks to come.

Of her brand new “Last Night” single Teenear said:

Bass, Trap | LUUDE Drops VIP Edit of Booming Trap Banger, “Sooo”
Posted by VMan on December 9, 2016
Off rip LUUDE’s new song “Sooo (VIP)” caught me off guard, but in the best way possible with it’s incredibly menacing soundscape. As it continues to evolve, it grew on me more thanks to the well placed vocal samples that are used as percussive instrumentation and once that sub kicks it this song goes to the next level in my book. While the production is very unorthodox, to me, their is still a feel-good pop flair to it at times and that’s what really resonated with me. LUUDE is a creative, forward-thinking producer who deserves more recognition and I’m calling it now in 2017 he’ll pop off because of quality music like “Sooo (VIP).” So check it out now above!
