Mix | Jack Rabbit Radio | Session 004
Posted by Meezy on July 25, 2016
Annnnnnnd… the Rabbit is back, this time getting funky for us. Session 004 is more of a hip-hop/electro-funk influenced mix that is sure to be a great mix to sit by the pool and relax to throughout the remainder of summer. This mix really shows the rabbits diversity in music taste and has us wanting MORE… but, this will have to be on repeat for the next two weeks until Session 005. Enjoy.
Interviews | Meet One Of LA’s Hottest Progressive House DJs: Varun
Posted by VMan on July 22, 2016
Varun is one of LA’s quickest rising progressive house artists. If you are thinking this is Above and Beyond, think again. This dude goes hard and his releases speak for themselves, delivering heavy-hitting tracks with strong melodies. We go to dive into Varun’s life as a DJ/producer in our up-close and exclusive interview with Varun.
Where do you think the direction of progressive house is heading?
Varun: It’s tough to say. I love Progressive House but the scene is definitely changing. There are a lot of new styles of music that are coming out and people are loving it. The biggest shift I’ve seen are these more percussive and noise driven drops (almost seeming a bit random at times). Some of it is a bit much for me but some of it is executed pretty damn well.
Alternative, Ambient | LaDonnis – Liar
Posted by BIGLIFE on July 6, 2016
I literally cannot stop listening to this new tune I discovered! LaDonnis is probably the smoothest new voice on Fools Gold, and I couldn’t be more excited about this tune. Liar is so fun to listen to, and I think its gonna get remixed big time. I don’t want to make a Kid Cudi analogy here, but it kinda reminds me of what he used to be. Check back in, cause I am gonna definitely share my favorite LaDonnis tunes as they are out!

Who are your biggest house influences that have helped you find your style?
Aaron: Listening to Tchami, some newer Vato Gonzalez, Flume, Friend Within, and some older Chainsmokers tracks were probably my biggest influences for ideas and how I wanted to make this particular song sound.
Who would you love to work with?
Aaron: I’d love to work with anyone mentioned above, Illenium, NGHTMRE, Yntendo, Jauz, Tom Budin, or Loge21. Any of them would pretty much be life made!
