[Future Bass] DVBBS – Always (Gorilla Bass Remix)

DVBBS
Always (Gorilla Bass Remix)

Gorilla Bass is back in the mix with another remix. DVBBS’ single “Always” is what the Chicago beatmaker took aim at, and he hit his mark with a quality laid-back future flip. He gives it an old-school vibe by keeping things simple, including his sound choice and design. With that booming bassline spearheading the drop, things get catchy real quick, especially given its hypnotic nature. This remix of “Always” is one of those tracks you pop on when you want to just mellow the whole world out, and it works. What else works, is releasing free music, which Gorilla Bass does here. Every so often, this dude comes out with something, and its always a good day when it does. Press play here, and stay tuned for more on Soundcloud from GB in the future.

[Alternative] Mac DeMarco – I’ve Been Waiting For Her

Mac Demarco
I've Been Waiting For Her

Mac DeMarco’s been “Passing out Pieces,” as he would say, recently. Last week, he shared a fully instrumental compilation titled Some Other Ones, a pre-cursor to his upcoming, appropriately-titled LP Another One. Today, we get another single from the highly anticipated follow-up to Salad Days. On “I’ve Been Waiting For Her” sees Mac in prime form layering breezy guitar and nonchalantly soothing vocals. As the song closes you can hear a quirky modified guitar solos that brings to mind his early LPs. DeMarco’s sound will always have a timeless feel to it, even with its oddities, and his latest is definitely no exception.

Hit play above and let your mind wander to its happy place. Another One drops on August 7th–you can pre-order here.

[TMN PREMIERE] MONAKR- Teardrop (Massive Attack Cover)

MONAKR
Teardrop (Massive Attack Cover)

Fresh off being announced on the second annual CRSSD festival in San Diego, MONAKR unleashes a cover of ‘Teardrop‘ by Massive Attack to keep things swirling. Lead singer Matthew Santos drives along the revamped production with a sense of power and fearlessness. This pretty tune successfully resuscitates a classic and showcases the band stepping outside their comfort zone. With an EP on the horizon, this Chicago-based four piece is set for a busy Summer. Both of their independently released singles (‘Calling Out‘ and ‘Diamond‘) debuted #20 on the Global and US Spotify Viral Charts, so it’s expected that a massive footprint will be made in the near future. MONAKR, born in the Winter of 2014, explores the deeper and darker side of pop music, filtered through Chicago’s R&B and House traditions. This Friday you can find them in their hometown at Lincoln Hall playing an official Pitchfork after-show with Celine Neon and Kinky Lovetickets here.

[G House] Missy Elliot – Lose Control (Action 52 Remix)

Missy Elliot
Lose Control (Action 52 Remix)

House music is alive and well in the Mile High City, and one of our favorite contributors to this ever-growing, expansive movement in the 5280 is none other than Action 52.

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve heard from this Denver duo. In fact, it’s been a hot 11 months. None the less, we’re excited to see them back at it, especially after falling head over heels for their last tune. In case you’ve forgotten, these two dialed up a scorching hot remix of Ludacris‘ “How Low,” which garnered them a spot in the Hype Machine’s popular chart, as well as nearly 175,000 plays on Soundcloud.

Today’s tune comes via the original work of Missy Elliot’s “Lose Control.” Once again, we find ourselves lost in a perfect pairing of groovy house beats, pitched-down vocal samples, and warm crystalline synths. When combined with some thumping kicks, it’s hard for us to not get up and dance, or as some would say, lose control. Wait, is that a planned dancefloor innuendo? If it is, we certainly appreciate the subtlety, and will most assuredly follow its subliminal instructions.

Pick this tune up on SoundCloud for the low, low price of free ninety-nine.

Little People Discusses New Album, Working in Coffee Shops, and The Need for More Lasers [TMN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW]

Youth & Progress Pt. 2
Presented By Jiberish

As we wind down our month-long feature with Little People, we’re anxious to bring you an in-depth look at not only the moniker, but the man behind the rich, textural, electronic music that so many have come to know and love.

We know you’re probably at work right now, but we feel like you deserve a 10-minute break to get caught up on what’s around the corner for Mr. Laurent Clerc.

TMN: Hey Laurent. Thank you so much for taking a few minutes to answer some questions for us. We’re really excited to have you as our Resident Artist for June!

LP: Well I’m very excited too. Thanks for having me. I’ve had the pleasure to meet you guys in person several times whenever I’ve played in Colorado. It’s always great connecting with such genuine and nice people like yourselves.

TMN: Alright, it’s been nearly two years since we last spoke, back at the Larimer Lounge in Denver, Colorado. Back then, you were making the voyage to and from the UK to the states quite often. You’ve since moved, correct?

LP: That is indeed correct. I moved to Portland, OR in August last year – with my wife and my 4-year-old twins. The Pacific Northwest is a very special place – it’s been amazing so far.

TMN: What was it that finally made you pull the trigger on moving out here? Was it the touring schedule? The need to have your family closer? Combination of both?

LP: Me coming over to the US to play shows – and staying here for extended periods – has not been easy on all of us. So moving to the US was a means of all of us being closer together whilst I play shows in the US. It also meant that it made it possible for me to play one-off shows and festivals throughout the year – so it has given me more opportunities to play live. If you are coming over from the UK, the onus is on cramming as many dates in a short period of time. I wanted to get away from that for a little bit.

Moonbootica – June (Moonbootica Remix) [TMN PREMIERE]

Moonbootica
June (Moonbootica Remix)

If there’s one thing you need to know about koweSix & tobitob, it’s that these two know how to write pure, unadulterated dance music.

We had the pleasure of premiering Moonbootica’s music video for “Work Your Body” back in February, and we’ve been infatuated with this Hamburg-based duo ever since. Today, we’re excited to bring you an edit of their recently released original tune, “June.” Coming out just a day ago, “June” has a classic dancefloor vibe, perfected by light percussion and claps, synthesized vocal samples, and a dialed up, funky bassline.

This re-imagination of their original, which tones back the intensity a bit, provides a relaxed, yet still very danceable vibe. With a lighter, more tropical synth approach, this remix proves perfect for your summertime activities, whether it be relaxing at the pool, chilling at a BBQ, or just hanging out on your porch with your favorite frosty beverage.

If you’re digging this remix, make sure to check out the rest of the remix package on Moonbootica’s SoundCloud.
