Electronic | Midnight Pool Party – Linger
Posted by mimada on April 16, 2014
Well folks, it’s the middle of April which means it took me an entire four months to find a new artist to start obsessing over (2014, get your shit together!). But it seems my hunting has come to a end, well temporarily, of course, as I would like to introduce you all to Midnight Pool Party. This band comes from where else other than the down under: Sydney, to be exact. Their style is summarized by a contagious, feel good, retro disco sound, or better put in their own words, a “potent cocktail of funky guitar licks, infectious keys and swoonsome choruses.” Their latest single, “Linger” and all its remixes (especially Luke Million’s) is a great starting place to fall in love with these party people, and once you’re ready for more, you can catch up with me over on their Miami Horror “Real Slow” remix as I’ve had it on repeat for about a week now. They’ve got their tracks available for free download so you can cop them, play them for your friends, and all dance until you drop.

Electro | Logic feat. Jhene Aiko – Break It Down (Louis Futon Remix)
Posted by mimada on April 16, 2014
Philly duo Louis Futon may be still be arguably “new” to the scene, but their discography and social media following proves these boys mean business. They’ve got heaps of original releases in addition to a handful of remixes, each one varying a little bit in genre from the next. This delightful remix of Logic and Jhene Aiko’s “Break It Down” is, as the say, perfect for those summertime vibes. I hate to spoil this track by pointing out its similarities to Kaytranada’s style, so just think of it as Louis Futon’s own spin on that groovy feel.
On that note, you may have heard Louis Futon on Ta-Ku’s latest “Drive Slow, Homie, Part III,” in which case you should make note that track will be featured on their upcoming EP, still TBA. In the mean time, snatch this free download and toss it on your poolside playlist stat.

Chill, Electronic, Hip-Hop | Radical Something – Long Way Home (DJ BIG RED & Icebird Remix)
Posted by admin on March 10, 2014
In Radical Something’s newest song and video, we see a whole new side of the California-based band. Their in-house producer/drummer/DJ, Big Red, cooked up an EDM remix to the band’s song “Long Way Home”. The song certainly makes their upcoming tour with Krewella seem a little bit more fitting. It is clear they are trying to merge fan-bases and expand the musical tastes of Rad-So listeners.
Enjoy the song and video and be sure to get Radical Something back in your playlists as the Spring begins to heat up!

Posted by mimada on February 17, 2014
PN & PP may have uploaded this free track in honor of Valentine’s Day but I’m gonna cut to the chase and let you know 4 months in advanced, this is already a carefree summer anthem. That should come as no surprise though as we can always count on Team Supreme’s Penthouse Penthouse to instill those vibes of being seaside when the sun is setting. Ahhhh.
If you haven’t already, be sure to cop PromNite’s latest album, Love Songs For What? featuring more from Penthouse Penthouse, Mike Gao and Sweater Beats. Available for a whopping $1 purchase via Bandcamp here.

Well folks, it’s been real. Tomorrow, Sept 22, marks the official end of summer 2013. In honor of the change in season, I present to you the second installment of my very own Warm Air mixtapes. A mix designed to ease the transition of swimsuits to sweaters and piña coladas to pumpkin spice and peppermint mocha lattes. A mix to warm you up in the cool autumn breeze, to relive the sweet memories of the past few months, and keep your spirits up and motivated as you face challenges in school, work, and everyday life. So close your eyes, and let this mix take you back to that moment on the beach where you dug a hole in the sand with your toes as you watched the sun set, or when you indulged in the most amazing 4th of July BBQ of your life, or drove around recklessly with the top down and the radio up, or the night you watched an epic fireworks spectacle with your boo thang wrapped up tight in your arms.
Remember, just because the summer is over doesn’t mean the fun is. Oh no, 2013 can and will go out with a bang. With 3 months left to go, it’s time the real fun begins.
I’d also like to dedicated this mix to one of my most beautiful friends as she turns 21 today. Hope you enjoy this mixtape as you take your first legal swigs of alcohol today, take an extra big one for me <3
Listen to this mix via 8tracks here.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Devin Miles – Sundress
Posted by admin on July 25, 2013
I think most guys can agree that there isn’t much better than a hot summer’s day with plenty of beautiful women in sundresses. Devin Miles seems to share that sentiment and has released a song paying homage to the spectacle of the sundress. The sunny months may seem like they’re running short, but a song like this will make you think they lasts for eternity. Ricquo Jones plays us the soft and sweet sounds of summer while Devin’s vocals compliment so perfectly.
Don’t think too much about going back to school, having to go work, or anything really. Just sit back, grab a lemonade and let the song take you away.
