Man this “Is It Love” remix package might just be my favorite one of 2016. Jenaux already dropped a fire mix, and Justin Caruso followed that up perfectly with his take on the track. While Caruso’s take is more on the future side of things, this isn’t the cookie cutter Future Bass we’re used to. Featuring acoustic guitars, melodic vocal chops, and beautiful sound design, Justin Caruso’s remix is one we’ll be jamming out to all summer. Check out the track now and be sure to download it as all proceeds go to “Pencils of Promise”.

Cover, Featured | A Fresh take on Adele’s “Hello” with Leah Haxhi’s New Piano Cover

Leah Haxhi, NYC singer/songwriter, hits us with another Adele cover that rivals all the competition. Keeping it simple with just minimal piano and vocals, this live video gives you the feeling you are sitting right there in the studio with Leah. At first it seems as if she is keeping it very close to the original, but then the second chorus breaks off into a free-style bridge that adds a unique twist to the song. Live studio visuals by Marin Hamataj and Brenton Ruh also complement the relaxed feeling of the cover. We expect to see big things from Leah in the near future, as she is putting together a demo of original songs and also working on new tracks with various DJs and producers such as Afrojack, Shelco Garcia and Teenwolf, and some other hard-hitters in the EDM and pop world. Follow Leah for more music and updates coming soon.
