House | Justin Jay Enlists Josh Taylor and Ulf Bonde for Fantastic Voyage Pt. 2
Posted by Juicebox on May 3, 2016
Justin Jay has been on an absolute tear this year. The dirtybird phenom not only announced the release of his debut album, Fantastic Voyage (The Album!), but he also premiered the first four tracks off of his magnum opus, which comprised an EP that has been released on Black Butter Records. As Justin’s Fantastic Voyage tour, which brought SoCal house party vibes all over the world, is starting to wrap up, he’s ramping up the releases again, and he’s starting with the second EP, or part, of his album on Jimpster’s Freerange Records imprint. The two-track EP leads off with “I See You,” an eight-minute track featuring Josh Taylor and Ulf Blonde that takes listeners on a journey through the underground, as Justin lays down a house backbone bolstered by a synth-driven melody and heavy bass kicks. The second track, “Indecision,” is yet another showcase of Justin Jay’s creative genius, as it feels like a tune more fitting for an 80s jazz lounge than a dance imprint, but still displays an undeniable groove. Check out the full EP above.

No Funks Given are quickly establishing themselves as a fresh and funny duo in the dance music scene. Their social media is nothing like I’ve ever seen, and their music, in particular, their latest single “Flavor Town,” show off their sense of humor and their high-energy sound. From the intro we get an ethereal vibe with a unique sound that flows up into a climactic drop where we meet Guy Fieri. “Let’s make bangers” is his sign on, then No Funks Given hits us with some hard bass. Instead of hanging out with guy, the California duo moves on to meet up with the Jaboody Dubs version of Guy for the rest of the track as they dish out some insane melodies and keep the bass just as gritty. The song gets better and better as time elapses. “Flavor Town” has been released for free, so all you need to do is head to the link below!

Progressive House | Trivecta Focuses On His Progressive-Trance Roots With “Into The Limelight”
Posted by VMan on April 20, 2016
Trivecta’s “Into The Limelight (feat. Danyka Nadeau)” speaks volumes about the continuous presence of older genres, Monstercat’s curation style in 2016, and showcases Trivecta in a shell he’s quite comfortable in.
Some may say genres like progressive and trance are fading away, but as you can see from the play hits and traction of this tune, the audience is far from dispersing. “Into The Limelight (feat. Danyka Nadeau)” combines the two sounds in an epic, anthem-like way that’s the opposite of generic. It’s an engine that carries you into a universe all it’s own. This tune made my day.
Chill, House | Sandovall – Unwind (Sokko Remix)
Posted by BIGLIFE on April 19, 2016
This is an absolute smash, I recently discovered this tune and man oh man this thing sounds like its beachside or poolside ready. It’s finally getting really nice, and this is just a tease for summer, pools, and posting up outside. Sokko is starting make a name for himself, creating a super bright and clear sound, and I can’t wait to hear more killer tunes from him in 2016!
