[Electronic] Alina Baraz & Galimatias – Fantasy (Pomo Remix)

Posted by Ash El Gamal - May 7, 2015

Alina Baraz & Galimatias
Fantasy (Pomo Remix)

Alina Baraz & Galimatias‘s “Fantasy” was easily one of the most uniquely beautiful tracks released last year combining ethereal vocals with forward-thinking, nuanced electronic production. It’s so good, in fact, that it toes the line of untouchable as far as remixes go. If there’s anyone fit or the job, though it’s Canadian producer Pomo, who’s 2014 The Other Day was a groovy, synth-laden sonic journey. His rendition of “Fantasy” plays out exactly as we would’ve hoped, keeping the original’s winning elements in tact with a healthy injection of Pomo’s signature bounce. The result perfectly utilizes Baraz’s irresistible voice transforming it into a spring anthem without losing its chilled-out vibe. If you haven’t already, make sure to check out the rest of Alina Baraz & Galimatias’s collaborative work on Soundcloud. You can also pre-order their upcoming Urban Flora EP here.

Coachella 2015 – Must See Acts [TMN EDITORS’ PICKS]

Posted by TMN Staff - April 8, 2015

The spectacle and legend of Coachella Valley Arts & Music Festival seems to grow every year and, although it’s certainly reached a critical mass at this point, it proves time and time again to be worth the trip. After breaking box office records for consecutive years, Coachella continues blazing ahead in 2015 with a deep, diverse lineup and some of their most ambitious projects to date including their largest investment in art installations ever. With the first weekend kicking off this Friday, the set times for Coachella were finally let loose yesterday bringing up the regular scheduling conflicts and tough decisions. To make things easier for you all, we’ve decided to lay out our top acts to see every day chronologically. We hope this serves as a useful guide as you prepare for the whirlwind of emotion that is Coachella. Best advice we can give you all: keep good company, don’t sweat (figuratively, of course, perspiration is imminent) and most importantly be safe. Hope to run in to some of you ninjas there!

P.S. We didn’t forget the Do Lab! You can find our Do Lab picks on the final page.

[Nu-Disco] AlunaGeorge – Supernatural (Pomo Remix)

Posted by Ivan Chung - December 10, 2014

AlunaGeorge
Supernatural (Pomo Remix)

Soundcloud

We always get real eager when a new Pomo tune drops, and the Canadian producer kills it with his latest, a remix of AlunaGeorge‘s “Supernatural”. The re-work starts off with subtle static sounds combined with Kaytranada-esque intro instrumentation (a fellow HW&W artist). As Aluna’s vocals come in, a funky bassline emerges with another catchy synth melody to create some groovy goodness. The original track is stripped down to the bare bone and, when Pomo’s signature elements are incorporated, the end result is a tune so addicting that we just can’t get enough of it.

It’s barely been a month since the release of Pomo’s stellar debut EP, The Other Day, but we’re already eager for more. His releases guarantee quality music, and we are definitely excited to see what he has in store for 2015.

GoldLink Hangs with Rick Rubin at 1015 Folsom in SF, 9/25 [Event Review]

GoldLink
Bedtime Story [Prod. Louie Lastic]

Buy

Upon our first listen of GoldLink’s debut project, The God Complex, we immediately knew he had the potential to change the landscape of hip-hop. From a technical perspective, the DMV-bred emcee has an impressive, quick-hitting flow with an equally adept vocal range making for a versatile, dynamic sound. What really sets him apart, though, is his openness to work with forward-thinking producers and, maybe even more importantly, the connection his unique, unabashed lyrics find with his audience. Whether it be fun tracks like “Ay Ay” or more introspective cuts like “When I Die,” GoldLink very much feels like a genuine voice that can represent his generation for years to come.
