Never Too Much Future

September 10, 2014
Post Image
Giving an ear to Jason Burn’s newest mixtape, Music To Break Up To, and  I was reminded of a “future classic” Burns and Jessie Andrews put out last year: a remix of Drakes track “Too Much”. Generally not the hugest Drake fan, but this soulful little number features one of my favorite vocalists/songwriter’s, Sampha.

Burns was an early pioneer in the now coined “future” game, and continues to be a favorite artist of us here at Music is Love. This one is a long scroll, too far down to notice during general music hunting and I just had to share- this track is clean A.F.

Sweaters Game

September 10, 2014
Post Image

This morning I woke up to Sweater Beats new remix of Flume & Chet Faker’s track “Drop the Game” on the top of my soundcloud stream, just posted a little over 20 minutes ago.

This track has everything you already love about Flume and Chet all wrapped up the warmth of Antonio Cuna aka Sweater Beats production, whats even better than that is that its a free D/L so grab it while its hot!

Sharing A Pursuit of Happiness

September 9, 2014
Post Image

Diverting from the norm today with a folk cover as sweet and raw as honey on the comb.

Quite the family affair, Beatbeat Whisper’s newest track was released under the Polish Ambassador’s label, Jumpsuit Records. Brother and sister, Davyd & Ayla Nereo bless us with their beautiful pipes and completely revive the once uber popular hip-hop-pop track, “Pursuit of Happiness.”

Less is more is how I would describe the cover. Kid Cudi’s vocals don’t seem to do the track justice anymore. Somehow with the Nereos, the tune overflows with uplifting vibes — even when they’re screaming out “fuck that”.

What’s to the pursuit of happiness?
Perhaps simplicity and reverence for real beauty.

M!NT-Y Fresh

September 5, 2014
Post Image

2 o’clock is where you found all that delicious bass this year at Burning Man.

If you happened to prance your dusty buns to “the other side” and you didn’t hear this track – where the f*ck were you?!

We were more than happy to hear this tune more than once by either Brooklyn boy, M!NT, or future bass babes, Dimond Saints at all those wonderful little bass stages where the sidewalk seemingly ended.

Once, twice, and every other time, M!NT’s remix of Rookerie Ruins originally by B Riddimz was extremely refreshing to hear in the desert.

Want to decompress with more bass?

Check out the tripped out sound of Bay Area’s Thriftworks & revisit the floor with MiL resident, Zander (1/2 of West Coast duo, Traveler) playing tonight, September  5th, at EOS Lounge in Santa Barbara.

Shash'U Wake N' Shake

August 25, 2014
Post Image

Flirting with the possibility of rain, overcast skies in San Francisco set a calming backdrop to the chaotic cityscape.

Personally feeling a bit too relaxed for the beginning of the week and in dire need of some bass that will gently wake me up and keep me interested.

Some of that pretty bass. You know, the kind lined with rich, melodic vocals while it rumbles your body?

Check out Canadian producer Shash’U’s remix of a favorite, James Blake “Retrograde”. It’s a bit more beefy than the original, without allowing Blake’s beautiful voice to get lost in the edit.

South Of The Equator

August 22, 2014
Post Image

I have never really been sure as to what Lana was whining about….being sad during the Summer? …With all that sun, ice cream & festivaling that takes place? First world problems, LDR.

We think Summer is awesome and wish it was here to stay with us a little bit longer. The only thing that makes us sad, is the end of summer- which is approaching quickly for us here in North America.

On the other side of the world, Australian producer, K U N is just entering Springtime and has months of the sensational Summer season ahead. Lucky for us sun-kissed trap lovers, K U N remixes “Summertime Sadness” in a way that would even make Lana crack a teethy smile as she gets down with her sad self.

Absolutely loving the soulful and groovy vibes Canadian producer/DJ, Birthday Boy is bringing to our iTunes.

It feels like summer is lasting a little bit longer with his future funk remix of Gabriel Garzon-Montano’s track, “Everything Is Everything”.

Influenced by everyone’s favorite R&B legend, Marvin Gaye, you are sure to find some danceable and downloadable tunes that feel classic, yet contemporary by the BB.

Music is Love – Interview 006 – feat. Sepehr

August 19, 2014
Post Image

Based in San Francisco, you can generally catch Sepehr “twisting knobs & making sobs” with buddy and fellow DJ/producer, Ardalan. On a great night, you can catch all that, and a stellar dolphin impersonation that will make you ladies weak in the knees.

If you haven’t noticed, San Francisco and the surrounding East Bay’s talent has been on fire this past couple years and has been labeled as extremely progressive and consistently cool in the EDM world.

If that doesn’t draw you in, let us be blunt with all you quick ones: this is as an artist to add to your repetoire of bass heavy 4×4 producing junkies.

Get to know the hilarity that is Sepehr, below. <3

–   B   E   G   I   N   –

Where are you from and when did you migrate your buns up to San Francisco?

I am originally born and raised in San Jose, California… which is pretty much neighbors with SF…

What does “Sepehr” mean and where are it’s origins?Sepehr is a Persian name for the dudes.  It’s pronounced SE-PEAR (like a pear. Yummmm). It’s my god given name and I’ve learned to embrace peoples terrible butcherings of it over the years (i.e, seffer, sapur, and the cringeworthy, “sepeer”).

I think the actual meaning of it in Farsi is somewhere a long the lines of sky, heavens, or the universe. I know, its a big responsibility to live up to the meaning!

What where you listening to when you where 15? How/Where did your love for house music begin?When I was 15 I was into a lot of underground hip-hop a la madvillain, and weird post-hardcore and math bands.  I was originally playing guitar (incoming cliche house dj story) and had hopes of being a guitarist-vocalist kinda dude, but the love for the four on the floor consumed me.My cousins who I grew up with (both now techno producers that own a record store in SF) started going to, like, “kandi kid” raves around that time and I had no idea what was going on, but there were lots of bad decisions and debauchery.The first rave I went to and quintessential psychedelic rave experience in 2006 at the party called “POP”. Mark Farina was playing and I loved it so much but I had no idea why… I remember just watching people dance and trying to emulate them cause I had no clue.

After that, my friend and fellow producer Ardalan and I delved deeper into the genre and started twisting knobs and making wobs and now, I’m here.

When did you start producing and how has your music progressed over the years?

I started producing I think around age 16.  I would open FL studio and literally click random buttons until something similar to a beat would come to fruition.  The music I made back then was so terrible that it makes David Guetta’s music sound like Mozart.  I think being surrounded by a group of friends that were similarly trying to hone production skills at the same time made me progress a lot faster and gave me constant motivation, but somehow, along the lines of messing around with friends, and getting influenced by artists I respected at underground parties, my music began to sound like actual music.

This is your second annual “Dolphin Funk” – what’s with you and dolphins?
Me and some homies wanted to have a name or a brand that we identified with and were just having the biggest trouble trying to get something to represent us properly.  Then after a long night of taking notes and powerpoints and spreadsheets (just kidding we were partying), we came up with “tech dolphin”.  It can mean anything really.
Dolphins are our spirit animals. “Dolphin Funk” is something I created as a pseduo-genre that describes my sound. Plus, I can do a mean dolphin call.Did you know Dolphins are considered “non-human persons” in India?

Well you know what, the Indians are doing it proper then. Dolphins got rights too.Tell us about some collaborations you’ve worked on and/or are working on.

As far as collaborations, I’d always be open to work with people who I respect and admire, but I have been more so focusing on myself as an artist and trying to breakthrough. However, there probably will be some sort of musical projects coming from me and Ardalan in the near future.As far as solo stuff, I am kind of in a transitional period of getting more mature in my production and kind of moving on to other labels that I admire.  I am releasing a 12″ for Monty Luke’s label “Black Catalogue” early next year which I am really excited for.

Where can we catch you perform next?

You can catch me playing at the “Sundazed” after-hours this Saturday night – Sunday morning in SF, and also the infamous “SuperHero Street Faire” in SF next month!

Su Na: Not Soon Enough

August 19, 2014
Post Image

Is it just me, or did yesterday feel like 4 days in one? Well, it’s over, and I personally feel like a better woman for it.

Taking down the energy today with San Francisco producer, Su Na. Ah, the comfort and nostalgia that rnb brings rolling through the city on Muni during a misty morning.

It’s just divine.
