Chill | Rihanna – Right Now (Big Sandz Remix)

Posted by on January 22, 2014

Chicago producer Big Sandz hits us with his future love remix of Rihanna’s “Right Now” and it’s on another level for a remix of a mainstream top 40 record. Uplifting, pure, relaxing these are just words to describe this record, and it’s exactly what Sandz set out to do with his music, spread love and find truth. From the words of his manager: “he’s been on a metaphysical mental journey trying to infect people with good feels” and you hear this in the music. I’ve had this track on repeat since it was sent to me. This is a must listen and a must download!

Cover, Indie, Pop | Timeflies Tuesday – Say Something

With what I’m expecting to be a banger of a single coming next week, Timeflies deliver yet another slow jam.  This week’s installment, a cover of A Great Big World’s, “Say Something”.  Like the New York made indie pop/rock duo, A Great Big World, Cal and Rez tackle this mellow piano ballad, but as always, they add an extra pinch of seasoning.  Enjoy this one before they turn up next week with their brand new single, “All The Way”.

FYI | Your Favorite DJs Before They Made It Big

Posted by on August 1, 2013

Tiesto, Armin & Ferry

You have seen posts before by other blogs with pictures of DJs when they were little kids or even teenagers. That is cute and all, but here we want to show you when they were looking like goons, in that phase of their professional life they would probably rather forget, when they were young and reckless and not always ready for the camera. Some of them do look like they were born for the camera (see Fatboy Slim, Pete Tong & Carl Cox), but others: oh boy, let’s have some fun on this special Throwback Thursday. Before you move on, please bask in how goonish Tiesto, Armin and Ferry look in that picture. Armin had his law degree at that point. Imagine being represented in court by him; unreal.

Dubstep | Alvin Risk & Designer Drugs – Empty Hearted

Posted by on April 18, 2013

Designer-Drugs-Alvin-Risk-Empty-Hearted

Big, big track from Alvin Risk and Designer Drugs. Crisp, dark vocals (presumably from Alvin himself — we know he loves to sing), a killer hook and cool, plinky synths all make this a must-add to your spring rotation. I’m basically just loving this track’s vibe (and, of course, those trademark Alvin “pew pews” after the drop) and hope that we see more like it from this formidable production combo.
