Chill | PromNite & Penthouse Penthouse – afterthot

Posted by 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.

YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS.

All the music that I listened to throughout the last 12 months enough to make me sick but somehow didn’t. The fields of music brought a bountiful yield in 2013 which allowed listeners like me to tune into more genres and artists than I could ever imagine. In order to cover all my necessary bases, I’ve drafted quite a comprehensive list (or two) missing prety much only anything Jennifer Lawrence related although if all the things she said this year were songs then they would 100% have made it on my list as well.

So, let the countdown, BEGIN!

Trap | Elos – Auto (Djemba Djemba & King Henry Remix)

For those of you who have been a little out of the loop, half of Penthouse Penthouse got arrested for trying to get his DJ equipment out of a warehouse that was being raided by police. The bad news: his bail is crazy high (around $20,000). The good news, however (if you could call it that), is a lot of artists have been putting out new music in an effort to raise money to help the homie out. So, Penthouse’s label Team Supreme just released a mixtape (which can be found on Bandcamp HERE) with a bunch of donated tracks from tons of talented, supportive artists. Put your part in, and make sure to cop a download of this remix of Elos’ track “Auto” by Djemba Djemba and King Henry. It has a bassline you won’t forget – definitely a Saturday-night-slap. #FREEPENTHOUSE.

Chill | Penthouse Penthouse – what u sippin on

Posted by on September 10, 2013

It’s sad to think that time of year has come for that unfortunate bunch of us up north when warm weather and sunshine gives us it’s final kiss goodbye until next spring. Luckily we have people like Penthouse Penthouse to keep summertime vibes alive no matter what it’s like outside. “what u sippin on” is a perfect, three-minute long vacation to your favorite beach, holdin’ your boo thang in one hand and a mai tai in the other. So close your eyes and hear the transformation of Andre 3000’s “Prototype” into Penthouse Penthouse’s smoooth sunset ballad. Tranquilo.

warm air vol. 1

 

When it comes to summertime playlists, it’s a cutthroat battle for the ultimate, all-inclusive and trendiest compilation, so hear me out for a second. Allow me to introduce to you, Warm Air, a three-part series by yours truly that will coincide with the rise and fall of your sweet summer season. I present to you this first installment of my series on the first day of summer, appropriately, in hopes that you might enhance any which way you decide to spend your greatest allowance of sunlight with the shimmering sounds of some of my current favorite artists. This playlist in particular is for the moment you wake up when the possibilities for your day are limitless; the sun is sparkling everywhere from the leaves on the tree to the water in the pool and the hood of your new Bugatti. With a mimosa in one hand and your beach towel in the other, these tracks will inspire and motivate you to carpe the shit out of the diem. But what happens when the sun is hot, the babes are out and you’re ready to play? Stay tuned for volume 2, coming soon to a boombox near you…

Electronic | Penthouse Penthouse – When It’s Hot feat. Djemba Djemba & Mr. Carmack

Posted by on May 30, 2013

 

Penthouse Penthouse (the band so good they named it twice) dropped a preview of this juicy beat a few weeks ago and I’ve been biting my nails since because I had a feeling it was just too delicious of a sound to only last 1:31 – and bam, was I right! I love all three of the artists at work here; their tracks give me this feeling of being at an A-list infinity pool party surrounded by sexy socialites, top-shelf liquor and finely trimmed hedges. And even if I’m in my friend’s backyard with a kiddie pool, a frisbee and some PBR, I know this jam brings all the swag I need.

Anyway, with the magic touch from Djemba Djemba (doubles again?!) and Mr. Carmack, I’d describe it as Justin Timberlake-esque but with more street cred and less buttons fastened on his shirt. Now sit back and prepare to be swept off your feet because this is only the beginning of your new summer romance.

Penthouse Penthouse - When It's HotThis is hot, but also the coolest use of Justin Timberlake beatbox samples. Despite its length, Penthouse Penthouse deserves a huge round of applause for this fly beat. Is it Summer yet?
