Neck’s newest EP Can’t Get has completely caught our attention. Falling in love with his usage of Banks’ “Warm Water” in his release “I’ll Come Closer,” we were instantly hooked on his merge of futuristic and nostalgic sounds.

Culminating an intimate and dreamy soundscape around well-known originals, Neck’s extremely thoughtful style carries reverberate synths, forward-thinking baselines, and live instrument samples, evoking a playful and effortlessly sexy vibe. If you are into future bass with a classic twist, look no further than a turn of your head.

Peep “I’ll Come Closer” and grab the rest of Neck’s EP on his SoundCloud:

Music Is Love just threw an epic pre-party at SOhO  this past weekend in anticipation and celebration of this year’s Lucidity Festival, “Kindred Quest”. Friday’s celebration featured Lucidity 2015’s acts Slothy, PEGA5U5, and Thriftworks as well as cultivated and live art from Branches Mobile Gallery, vendor goodies from Radhas Love Designs and Free Feather Photography & Creations, and an extra special healing station courtesy of I AM Healing.

Between the great energy, inviting and festive atmosphere, inspiring artwork, vibrant attendees and top-notch musical performances, Lucidity’s pre-party made us even more excited for this year’s festival to arrive.

A special thanks is given to local talent and Lucidity act Slothy, as well as Bay Area artists, PEGA5U5 and Thriftworks for providing our colorful celebration with the perfect soundtrack. California based electronic producer, Thriftworks, delivered his own fresh, outsider style while weaving explosive bass throughout his unique, deep low-end set. The two Northern California brothers of PEGA5U5 showcased their many genres influences while performing in a psychedelic, slick, and groovy set. And all three of the night’s Lucidity performers all managed to showcase sets that highlighted their noteworthy talent and uniqueness.

Josh Pan Is Really 20 People

I don’t know how King Kanye feels about remixes of his tracks; if he made them they are already perfect, right? West’s all-star attitude at the Grammys definitely served it’s purpose in creating a new, but all-too-familiar, buzz around him.

A newly reveled collective of 20 artists that go by the name of “Josh Pan” fans the flame by flattering Kanye’s top-40 hit, “Touch The Sky,” reintroducing the jazzy original as a bass motivated slapper.

Josh Pan as a collective only recently developed as he announced via twitter that his suggesting title and coy marketing had successfully deceived everyone into thinking there was one guy blasting out track, after track, tweeting, “We just want to thank you all for being apart of this social experiment”- juicy! Some producers who contribute to Josh Pan Collective are Harrison, Luca Lush, Madeaux, POLO, Cavalier, Whispa, Dirty Chocolate, Jai Wolf, Yung Bae, Y2K, Flamingosis, and Manila Killa.

Integrating sexy guitar rifts and electronic keyboards with the smoothes samples you will ever hear, FKJ takes a special approach to producing and is not afraid to draw inspiration from decades long past, but never forgotten.

Do you wreak of sophistication and class? Then grab yourself a martini and have a listen to something that will really wet your whistle:[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/65655963″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /]

With releases on both Dirtybird and rapidly growing house label, Perfect Driver, artist Aaron Snapes has quickly become a house name.

Snape’s first EP was released only recently in 2012, showcasing his technical, but effortless style inspired by West Coast ease and UK innovation. The tech producer focuses on bouncy samples and interesting baselines made for being a star on the dance floor. Gaining massive support from Dirtybird Godfather, Claude VonStoke, Snapes quick acceptance into the bass-forward house community proves he is just hitting the tip of the iceberg. If your into that tripped-out future 4×4, Snapes is definitely one to look out for in 2015.

Check out Perfect Driver’s Snape release, “Silver Screen” and grab over 40 new PD tracks for free on their SoundCloud:
