Production duo, Traveler released a soulful electronic groove last night, reminding us that although it doesn’t feel like winter on the West Coast, it always stays chill as funk.

Within the past couple years, Traveler boys, Blair and Zander, have quickly made a name for themselves up, down and across the West Coast.

Live instruments paired with electronic techniques and technology come together to create a fresh, yet classic sound.

This one is deep, but remains uplifting. Soulful vocals and a deep bass line are juxtaposed by lively electronic pops of production.

Oakland beat master Releece teams up with established favorite, An-ten-nae, creating a rather elusive group- Dimond Saints.

Alerting their fans to watch out for the signs since early December, they releeced their first full length track last weekend.A tantalizingly sexy remix of Florence & the Machine’s cover of Robert Palmer’s Addicted to Love.

The two put out a trailer for an original track, “Do It Right”- a sexy West Coast post-dub electronic track out December 11th featuring an original video by artist Tomasz Baginski.

We can’t wait to see what the boys bring us into the new year!

The best gifts are those that are intangible!

Maribou State released “Scarlett Groove” about a year ago and today, they released a club edit for free! We love that drawn out bass and how they tweaked the original vocal sample.

Check out how our genre merging masters successfully re-vamp an already outstanding groove.

Based in Leeds, Billy Kenny first impressed us with how dense his mixtapes are- seemingly filled only with hits  that would undoubtedly be consistently played at future shows by some of my favorite DJs. Icing on the cake…many of our favorite tracks  throughout his mixes happen to be Billy Kenny originals.

With his early roots in in UK grime, garage and 2-step, his new piece “Never Let You Go” is a lovely s a lovely booty bass garage / house track.. The vocal samples hypnotize you through an overall clean groove laced with some dirty-ass bass.

Seattle native Sango and member of beloved LA-based Soulection crew started creating beats at the wonderfully awkward age of 12.

Still, barely old enough to drink, graphic design student by day focuses his attention to producing whenever he can. Putting out some killer remixes this past year of some R&B favorites, his production is clean and chilled out- he beautifully blends genres, like he’s been doing it since he was in 6th grade or something.

I’m calling this one a #tbt. Born in the early 90’s the kid is a product of his time – his vibe will quickly take you back to those bump ‘n grind, make-out, brace-face & baggy jean wearing days.

Recently releasing a track under our one of our favorite labels, DirtyBird, killer duo Chris Lorenzo and Kane have been quickly gaining worldwide recognition for their wicked bass-heavy tracks.

Earlier this week, UK’s Cause & Affect released “Ironside” – a thumping house number that will for sure kick-start your weekend right. If the undeniable Kill Bill sample in the beginning doesn’t wake you up, that break into some jackin and grime house will. Expect some wonderfully gritty house tunes from these two.

Remember how cool it was to listen to the sexy sounds of R&B… yeah, like over a decade ago? Phazz takes us back to that feeling by re-vamping mainstream sound and giving it an exclusive, underground feel. Putting that cool quality back into R&B by rendering the union between it and, dare I say, EDM, our French amigo has been gaining some recognition in the states this past year as the dude comes through with some serious tunes.

Part of the Soulection crew, his tracks are soulful to say the least. Phazz has a sound for whatever mood.

Phazz hit hard this sumer with his remix of Ryan Leslie’s “Addiction”. Sexy guitar rifts transition to some sort of club trap, dubstep, hip-hop, R&B cocktail that will leave your head in the clouds.

Check out Phazz’s remix of “Got It Fine”-  a remix of from Whitney Houston’s “Fine” and hip-hop duo Mobb Deeps “Got It Twisted”:  toe-curling sexy. Phazz is constantly messing with vocal pitch, this one has a true future R&B feel- clean, spacey, and with an easy bass line.

We credit Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories as one of our top albums of the year. Undoubtedly everyone and their mom was grooving to the funky sounds of “Get Lucky” all summer long and boy, we LOVE Daft Punk remixes.
