Ellie Goulding – Still Falling For You (Nick Talos Remix)

screen-shot-2016-09-28-at-6-07-54-pm

Normally I hear Ellie Goulding or read her name and im like, swweerrrvveeeeee

But this remix is actually sick because it hits the Major Lazer and Biebs and Diplo sensibilities that I actually love in pop dance music. So I’m gonna continue to pretend to be tough and shit when I go out in public by punching babies in the face, but when I go home I will dance to some Ellie Goulding. Because it ain’t easy being a gangster.

Konrad OldMoney feat. Sleep Steady – Black Thai

black-thai-square-soundcloud

I have posted about Konrad OldMoney and Sleep Steady cuts since they placed two songs on the UFC2 video game. Which I so love playing since it allows me to punch people I normally would run from, in their stupid face. Anyways, this new song makes me want to do exactly the same thing only in a thuggier more low ridery way. Like, roll up slow at night with my oversized vehicle looking all cool and start a fight. Which I would never do because I would most likely lose. Anyways, here are some sounds from these three gentlemen

Julia Knight – Ghost Of You

jk

Gonna keep the pop almost retro 80’s vibe but not quite there, vibes strong this morning. I stumbled across this lil number by Julia Knight. The artwork kinda did it for me. Trying to understand why there is some sort of flower snake going into her eye, like “Hey this looks like my vinyl covers! I bet it won’t disappoint!”

For all you sappy brokenhearted Euro 80’s babies and general dance music closet enthusiasts, you’re welcome.

Kicks N Licks – Sunny Day (feat. Desirée Dawson)

screen-shot-2016-09-19-at-10-28-58-am

For the longest time I have been following and basically cyber stalking Vancouver’s very own, Desirée Dawson. She has the voice of a damn angel. Seriously. And today she hit me right in the heart with the prettiest of new age pop songs. With lyrics like , “I see us hanging in the sunshine, I feel vibes and things in the air, I can be your sunny day, say goodbye to all the rain” This is just something next level as far as to the point, simple pretty pop writing. I have also, for the longest time reiterated how important clean pop writing is. Good job girl. And Kicks N Licks are a dope production duo. Tonnes of little nuances in the music, great buildups, these boys are onto something. This tune landed them a nice Billboard premiere too which is fuckin’ awesome to see! I will one day have coffee with Desirée and tell her in person how much of an angel she is. She can sing her songs and play her ukulele to me any time. Even during a domestic dispute. Actually, especially during a domestic dispute. Please please come play at my domestic dispute.

Adam Jensen – Sandcastles (ToWonder x Severo Remix)

I’m now on my pop vibe today yo. I think It’s this moody pop today that does it for me. I must be emotional. Maybe I am sad that the fucking summer is over man. It’s about to start raining here in Vancouver and we all know what that means. Gaining weight playing video games is what that means.

Denny White – Psycho

screen-shot-2016-09-20-at-9-30-09-am

Sometimes I just want to listen to some good soulful pop but usually it’s hard to come by as it’s a tougher craft than many people think. Coming across a cleanly executed soulful song is a treat. Especially when it’s laced with dope drum work and haunting choruses. I am way too fucking tired to think about all of the compliments here. Give me a break. I am still coming down off of 4 magic mushroom brownies from last night and this album art is fucking with my entire life. Check this out kids.

Osmo – Take Your Time ft. Ayelle

Yay! A chill ass song with a pretty chorus section! It’s so rewarding when a pretty sounding chill song has a nice pickup on it. I am have been exposed to many anti-choruses and disappointing drops on otherwise nice chill music. Hats off to Osmo and Ayelle

Shirazee – Different (Dan E Remix)

I seldomly post videos. When I do it means that I really dig what I see in the video.  A strong song but crappy video won’t make it on my roll. This here is a super cool concept. Makes me wanna travel and shit like that. I want to get up off my plush lounge chair, put on some clothes like a human being and go out and do stuff!! That feeling, is short lived however, and I am going to just opt out for putting it up on the blog instead.
