The Best Gift

Oh bebe… this is just right!  I’m on a gritty kick recently and this song hits the spot.  I was hesitant at first with the house-y intro but you gotta just wait for the drop because you NEVER KNOW RIGHT?!?!  I was glad I waited on this one because I am super digging the hard raunchiness, as it was very welcome after the techno-esque beginning.  Def think it’s a great build with a good switch up for sound.  2:15 to the second drop has a Daft Punk (Tron soundtrack) feel to me which I think is a nice touch.  One thing that could add to it would be to play with the second drop a little more, add in some fresh sounds, samples or effects.  Overall, it’s a real good song to jam out to and will absolutely get you hooked!  Excited to see what these guys come up with next!!

Freakout Chillout

Nothin like a chill song with positive vibes to git you through that rough hump day!  I’ve been on an Ambassadeurs kick since seeing him open for Odesza at the Fonda this past Saturday.  He was the PERFECT pairing with Odesza and really brought his A game.. def walked away with a bazillion new fans I’m surrrrre of it.

This jam definitely takes you on a lovely internal journey. At 7 minutes you’d think that might drag but the quiet build is transcending and hypnotizing.  I love the hollowed vocals and soothing background sounds with a soft hum of bass.  It’s a great song to mellow you without putting you in a sleeper hold!

Pachuco Rises

Welpst, Epoch has done it again!! Another masterful remix which is just as epic as their last one, the freakin’ Lion King!  I’m really diggin the unique choices on songs. Aint no remixes of Ellie Goulding, James Blake or Lana del Rey here!  Not that there’s anything wrong with them, but it seems to be the common “thing” to do as a producer. Epoch’s recent developments are quite refreshing and I have a feeling we can expect more vibrant selections in the future. (Maybe My Little Pony???)

This remix is completely on point, keeping in line with the funky upbeat tempo and then those rich gritty grimy sounds beautifully swirled in! GET SWINGIN’!!!!!

Gone too Far?

Ok so I don’t know if I’ve been listening to electronic music for too long.  I keep searching for newer and newer sounds that perhaps I’ve gone over the edge and no one is hearing the same thing I am… This song, to me, is such a beautiful culmination of subtle sounds and quirky peaks that I feel like everyone should be addicted!  I guess I just don’t understand why songs like this don’t get the love they deserve!

Show Akouo mo’ love!!
