Premiere: Bear Mountain – Hopeful (Moon Bounce Remix)

Posted on September 24, 2015 | Comments Off

Vancouver band Bear Mountain are on a mission to find the medium between technology and the natural world. It can be heard in their music from original to remix and DJ set in-between. It’s this mission which is successful in making the band stand out, at least in this two thumb haver’s mind. ‘Hopeful’ itself was made with the future in mind. And during times like these motivation points here and there are what is needed to keep ourselves from burying our heads in the sand. Especially on the subject of technology versus nature. This is where Philly based Moon Bounce comes in. Locking ‘Hopeful’ firmly into technology, groovily I might add, with a lush blend of Tropical/New Disco and plenty of Future. Listen to the original below to compare and expand ;)

“We made it thinking about the future, and being hopeful for what’s to come despite the past.” – Bear Mountain

E.A.S.Y. – Like That

Posted on September 24, 2015 | Comments Off

Industry heavy weights Enferno and Shiftee have combined forces as E.A.S.Y. The duo is not brand new and already have a handful of well received releases under their two person one belt belt. ‘Like That’ is just the newest addition to their already remix, mix and original production catalog. It starts off as a laidback Chill Trap then builds n’ bursts into a huge chunk of Future that could be compared to Flume if one were so inclined. But make no mistake, this is E.A.S.Y. , and it’s just what they do. More for the get familiar below.

Video: Felix Cartal – Something To Live For feat. Nikki Yanofsky

Posted on September 22, 2015 | Comments Off

Okay, so this is more pop/festival than I care to go on this site. But! Vancouver natives do have a place here. That, AND this video has a few really good things going for it. 1) The one take concept. 2) It’s pretty funny that guy texted through the whole shoot. It’s laugh out loud when he splits the couple right off the bat. 3) I love seeing Vancouver on film, and when it’s openly playing itself it’s even better. Neighbourhoods here really are eye candy. 4) The making of shot during earns points.

*Please don’t comment on this unless you know of ‘Montreal Dream’s‘ or Felix’s early on Ashlee Simpson remix.

Kiesza – Give It To The Moment feat. Djemba Djemba

<a href="http://kiesza-music.bandcamp.com/track/kiesza-feat-djemba-djemba-give-it-to-the-moment">Kiesza (feat. Djemba Djemba) – Give It To The Moment by Kiesza</a>

It’s more of a produced by credit if you think about it. But who knows wtf is going on anymore, things just aren’t the same. Djemba Djemba has been venturing into the mainstream more and more, to me the his working with Rapper Bukkweat Bill may have been a turning point. Once the bass drops though, it’s same ol’ Djemba. He keeps it real in the bass for whomever. DL for a price.

OBESØN – Friend To An Enemy

There’s no questioning the rise and prominence of collectives. And it’s funny how “union” is such a dirty word and “collective” is so sought after.. Hegemon though, huge strides on it’s rise to a current abilty of 27k plays in a day. It’s no wonder Apple and the big three are laying so hard into streamings own ability of reach. Rant points aside OBESØN went very chill in the Trap for the Nest QH Premiere. Free DL HERE.

Let’s just take a moment and bow our heads. Think of Boy 8-Bit in the early thousands and how dope he was. Then let’s shift toward the notion of Acid revival. Now, combine the two and before you now is one of Boy 8-Bit‘s more recent monikers with which he has delved into such waters. Out on Revival Turf.
