If you’re in Denver October 30th, you gotta check out Shinichi Osawa at Beta! The Tokyo native is an amazing producer and remix artist. Don’t listen to me anymore, Listen to Him! dLux.
The young English chap, Jack Peñate, has had great feats in the Indie scene thus far in his music career. His latest single “Pull My Heart Away”, is a slight departure from his earlier hits, such as “Torn on the Platform” or “Second, Minute or Hour”, which are a bit more pop’ish running at some rapid BMP’s. Peñate’s vocals are truly something timeless and captivating. I eagerly await more remixes of “Pull My Heart Away”. dLux.
I still haven’t put my finger on the “sound” of Major Lazer; and their new single, Keep It Goin’ Louder, furthers the ambiguity. Nonetheless, Keep It Goin’ Louder, which features Nina Sky and Ricky Blaze, has been climbing the charts in my books. The song is dangerously too pop’ish but after seeing the video and hearing vocals from Nina Sky, I can’t help but put the song on repeat. I’m not sure of the roles Switch and/or Diplo played in creating this song but it does seem to be their attempt to getting more national radio play-which I think is very possible, especially with the Nina Sky stamp. Check out the greatly produced video and the remix. dLux
