for u by LOLO BX

for u by LOLO BX

I recently came across LOLO BX the other day and now I have an addiction. He has fourteen tracks and I've listened to them all three or four times. I intend to extend those digits... The list goes on when it comes to how many Aussie artists I've listened to these past four years, and it might be a good idea for me to start thinking about making up a list so I never lose track of these talented musicians. Thing is, LOLO BX has similar sounds to a few artists like Daktly, Carmada, or Flume, but at the same time he has his own distinct sound, so I'm pretty sure I won't need to worry about losing LOLO BX anytime soon. 'for u' is heavy and gentle mixed as one (Heantle). With a heavy bass line and bass horn at start while leading into a monster drop synth attack, theres no doubt that this track would make the audience pop heads. Listen at your own risk and check out LOLO BX's 'for u'

Sometime feat. Basstracks by Dallas Cotton

Sometime feat. Basstracks by Dallas Cotton

Feel the vibes with Dallas Cotton’s newest summery jazzy track, Sometime feat. Basstracks. A lot of new tracks have been released along side this one, all having us look forward to the new summer ahead of us, but this one sticks out the most for me.

On the Side: 1990 by Real Slow

On the Side: 1990 by Real Slow 

In this first episode of OTS, I talk briefly about underground producer Real Slow, that everyone should check out! If you love those wavey instrumental sounds as much as I do mixed in with crispy sounding percussion, then listen in on todays On the Side. 

Fortune Teller by Kero Kero Bonito

Fortune Teller by Kero Kero Bonito

This gem has indie disco pool party written all over it. I recently came across this upcoming band and I must say, they are quite an interesting collaboration. Kero Kero Bonito incorporates weird lyrics,  Nintendo game sounds, and English/Japanese lingo from their lead singer Sarah Perry. Talk about a crazy combination, but putting it down to writing wouldn't do it justice. You'll have to hear for yourself. ;)

Personal Favorite Tracks:

Fortune Teller

Flamingo

Sick Beat

Open (Elkoe Remix) by Rhye

Open (Elkoe Remix) by Rhye

The intro to this deep house remix by Elkoe has me feeling sad at first with that small violin vibe, but thirty five seconds in, I'm all of a sudden on top the world with the "Im so F***ing ready" feeling...Im not sure what I'm ready for, but the layout of this masterpiece forces me to think and wait it out until its discovered. I've listened to all of Elkoe's originals and remixes and I am always hearing, and feeling, inspiration within his music....Feel and hear it here with us @ Elkoes Soundcloud 

t o u g h l o v e by $heWont

t o u g h l o v e by $heWont

SheWont is a mysterious one. I've done my best to research this talented artist, but I have not been able to figure out to much besides the fact of how creative she is when it comes to production. Her recent release t o u g h l o v e is a new favorite of mine. 

The instruments played in the beginning oddly threw me back to the memories of playing the underwater levels of Nintendo Super Mario 64 when I was a kid. Strange I know, but this new tune acts as a kind of dream catcher for me. Does it remind you of something to? Let us know on our new Facebook page! 

Ways by Alex Schulz

Ways by Alex Schulz

You would think the best tropical house music would come from a place like the Caribbean, Cancun, Miami, or even Fiji maybe, but it without a doubt thrives within Europe. German producer Alex Schulz shows us an insight of our summer to come about sandy toes and coconut drinks. Those words  might not be mentioned in the lyrics, but thats all I could think about while listening to 'Ways' and I'm pretty sure that is what Mr. Schulz intended us to imagine. Luckily for us San Franciscans, the weather has felt a lot like summer recently so this is our chance to indulge in this tropical lifestyle while listening to 'Ways'. 

Hanging with Ketchup

Hanging With Ketchup

    

Although we have entered Spring, it has been quite a summery feeling week these past few days.
Usually when its this warm out, I update my indie dance/disco playlist and head straight to the beach, as you'll see in this short video. The beach we were at was west of Fort Mason overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, paddle boarders, and a whole bunch of families enjoying the weather as mush as we did. And to top it off, we had 'Make A Stand' playing in the background by Embody....Take me back.

Artists on the Rise: Carmada

Artists on the Rise: Carmada

Yahtzel + LDRU = Carmada. In all seriousness, a lot of talent comes from the vibrant island of Australia, and Carmada is one of many. You would think they were friends since childhood, but it only took a few jokes, some beers, and almost getting kicked out of a hotel room for these two to find out they actually had a lot in common. I talked to 1/2 Carmada member, Yahtzel, before his set this past Friday at Folsom 1015 in San Francisco, and he says it's all been one massive dream that's happened so fast. From hanging out with electric legend Skrillex to partying on a private islands, I'd say they're having the time of their lives. If you want in on this experience, don't worry it's possible. In fact, Carmada has a tour in the land down under coming up soon, so get your tickets now!

Ice Rink by Cashmere Cat & DJ Mustard

Ice Rink by Cashmere Cat & DJ Mustard

Twenty seven year old Norwegian Cashmere Cat, is popular for a lot of certain beats. He's one of those artists that you can pick off by hearing a certain sound without having to peek at the track title. As for DJ Mustard, he's an extremely popular American producer as well, who has worked with Rap artists such as Tyga, 2 Chainz, Wiz Khalifa, and a handful more. All in all there's no doubt how crisp sounding Ice Rink sounds with the Cat and Mustard working side by side. 

Let me just say, when it comes to any sort of electronic music, the one thing that gets me is vocal modification. If your not to familiar with what I mean, then you'll need to play Ice Rink right now to hear for yourself. 

AM by Polographia

AM by Polographia

When seeing Polographia's newest track 'AM' pop through my Soundcloud stream, immediately I knew it was going to be something nostalgic. These two talented Aussies have yet again made another track leaving us with an imaginative sensation of swimming in one of those infinite pools overlooking palm trees. One thing that stuck out the most throughout this three minute and thirty nine second journey, was the sampled percussion. As soon as you've reached five seconds into the track, I swear it sounds like a candy wrapper being crunched up between someones fingers. And to have that sample lead up to finger snap, is hands down brilliant.

If your missing Summer as much as me, make sure to check out the rest of Polographia's music over the web. Cheers to swimming pools, and Polographia.
