ShakiraShakiraShakiraaaaaaa September 15, 2014Jules 2 CommentsI would never have guessed this was Shakira and I have no idea why distorting her voice that low would be sexy but it seriously is. The sexy chill vibe of this song is kiiiinda outta control. The mellow bassline with the perfect amount of reverb and repetition makes me wanna run an ice cube down my neck in slow mo… (or better yet, down Shakira’s neck.) I even love the wolf howling at the intro and bidding us farewell to some delightful crickets! And I can think of no better way to end this sultry sweetness.

Runnin’ Circles September 11, 2014Jules 3 CommentsMat Zo got me runnin’ circles for this jam right here! Seriously, the journey and layers in this song is just ridickillus!! Leading with a simple lil high hat and drifting into a slow build he teases the shit outta you with drumz on drumz on drumz til he finally gifts you that snarling growling gritty bass that you are practically crying for at this point. I know I was! (Seriously I think I was gripping my laptop with white knuckles and drooling on the mouse pad) And he hits you with that shit hard and fast just like you want it–BUT! I say BUT! He knows when to stop… to take it away dat throbbing bass and create a space to mellow you out with some heartfelt lyrics echoing into glitchy effects and runnin tha bass through your sexy earholes again. For me, what sealed the deal and lit my cigarette were those sax-y synth sounds EXPLODING in at 3:20 for the grand finale. I practically threw up. Like always, Mat Zo is continuously experimenting with new sounds and genre-bending from one song to the next, and I am quite thrilled with his recent venture into heavy dubby bass!

Gangsta Love August 28, 2014Jules 2 CommentsYou cannot deny the appeal of smooth thug love and this song is fully embracing it. I was completely hooked in the first 5 seconds, with the provocative lyrics and soft reverb on the vocals punctuated by simple snaps. This sensual rhythmic intro sways into steady drum beat (and possibly wooden percussion?), keeping that sizzling vibe but adding depth. I mean, this shit will get you sweatin.. not like, a complete gloss coat of sweat, but that one drop that kinda snakes down from your temple and slowly drips along the side of your neck all the way past the clavicle… shit’s real. After the sexy beat tapers off to cool you down with some gentle soothing keyboard notes, you realize… this song is gangsta. And you might be pregnant. (Go figure that only took about 2 minutes…) Sexygangsta, ozzie, sexy, smoothShare : Tweet
Saxy Tiiiiiime August 25, 2014Jules 2 CommentsLet’s get our tropical groove on! But also, let’s be sorta sad while we get our tropical groove on. That’s how this song makes me feel. I think mixing a cheerful melody with sad lyrics or vice versa is pretty much the best and always will be. We’ve got some feel-good tropical beats goin on here, with some delightful sax spinnin through it. THEN you layer on these heart breaking lyrics and vocals just oozing with hopelessness. I mean come ON… that filter at 3:31? I think my heart just melted out of my eyes. So naturally you start sobbing, then the sax comes back and reminds you that life is just life and you know what, you’re gonna be just fine. Another thing I really respect about this remix is how crazy different it is from the original. The original is gorgeous, heavy and entirely somber. How the hell did Thero hear this and go– “OO MAI GAWD! Do you know what would be sick with this?! A TROPICAL BEAT AND SAXOPHONE LETS DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I still don’t know how he pulled it off, but he nailed it.

Instant Hit August 20, 2014Jules 3 CommentsAre you ready for a pillow fight? Are you ready for slow mo images of hipster girls doing things like whipping their hair around and blowing bubblegum? Maybe some shots of sneakers with high socks? THEN GET READY FOR THIS SONG!!!! OH BOY I WANNA HAVE A SLUMBER PARTY!!! This song is upbeat, quirky and addictive as hell. The playful lyrics work perfectly over that happy trappy beat that could easily make this song a big summer hit. This duo from Seattle has got a confident grasp on balancing pop flavor with just enough chill feel-good vibe!

It’s Only Machinedrum August 14, 2014Jules 2 CommentsIf I could pick one word to describe this song it would velvet. It seems DJ Shadow requested this remix from Machinedrum, and now I feel I owe him my firstborn. This remix actually does the original major justice! I’m addicted to the dramatic intro leading into a tension perfectly created by the drums and soft sirens mingling together. Machinedrum creates a hypnotic dark beat to mate with those foreboding lyrics we all know and love. Thus, an eerie velvety remix was born!! I think we need to start breeding excellent producers with more songs like that. There are too many remixes out there that make me want to cry for the future of electronic music, while eating an entire pan of homemade brownies. Let’s focus on the good, shall we?
