Hello Summer

I know I’ve been bouncing around a lot lately (Hawaii, Oregon, Chicago, San Francisco & Asia since January), but the trip I embark on today is different. Entirely non-work related. Unplugging completely. Gonna be sleeping in a tent on the beach actually. Focussing all my energy on surfing, snorkeling and eating tacos with good friends for the next 7 days. Haven’t been to Mexico since I was a teenager, so I’m very much looking forward to it. It’s my way of properly acknowledging a major transition and stepping forward into Summer on the good foot. No doubt I’ll be soaking up plenty of inspiration for new tunes along the way. I put together this super sunny playlist of tracks I’m feeling right now to help spread the early summer vibes.

Robin Thicke :       Blurred Lines ft. T.I. & Pharrell
I know it’s pop as all hell, but this is too good to snooze on. Major jacking of Marvin Gaye’s “Got To Give It Up”, but you won’t hear me complaining.

Laura Mvula :       Green Garden (Osage Remix)
better than the remix I was going to make. So so good.

Andrea Calabrese :       Africa Intense (Bress Mix)

Juice, Mess & Simone Farina :       Corazon (Fanelli Farina Mix)
shout to DJ Cato for this heater

Machel Montano :       Vibes Cyah Done (Jus Now Remix)
shout to DJ Nadi for this future soca bomb

Bunji Garlin ft. Nigel Rojas :       Differentology

Dub Gabriel :       My Gun (Shotnez Remix)

Popcaan :       Raving

Dieze Tigrona :       Prostituto ft. Jaloo
sweetest sounding trap-baile-funk ode to a hooker ever recorded

Mop Mop :       Kamakumba &       Phantom Of The Panther
shout out to Dangerscouse for the heads up

The Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band :       Pimp
and big up my man Soul Cocina who turned me onto this

ZongoRemix-Cover450

Happy to announce the release of this latest remix I produced for the Brooklyn-based 10-piece afrobeat ensemble Zongo Junction. Check out the 7″ single they are also dropping today on Primary Records. They have a pretty classic sound that pays homage to Fela, Tony Allen & other afrobeat originators, but I mixed in some heavy synths and hip hop drums to give it that extra head nod bounce. It’s starting to feel like Summer around here, so I hope this one gets spins at a BBQ near you. Big shout out to the always tasty OkayAfrica.com for giving some early love to the track too. Free download, get it while it’s hot.

Classy

classy-carpet

My new studio is finally up and running! Been a lot of work and a long time coming. It may be hard for me to leave this room all Summer. Wall paint is still drying and the fresh carpet smell is strong enough to give me a head buzz. I was pondering what it would be like to cover the floor in one of those classy carpet options above, available for a good price at Linoleum City, but then I wimped out last minute (LAME, I know, but might help prolong what’s left of my sanity). Already had my first recording session in here, and my first mixing session (tons of new music will be coming soon), but this is officially my first blog post from Melon Elevado Studio, where heads get lifted. Aiiiiight?!? And now, new tunes…

Goldroom :       Only You Can Show Me (ft. Mereki)

Chico Mann :       Esta Bueno
this whole new album is dope, get it.

Phoenix :       Entertainment (Hot Natured Remix)
shout out to my homie DJ Cato for this one

Lykke Li :       Little Bit (CSS Remix)

Classixx :       Holding On &       Into The Valley ft. Karl Dixon (Julio Bashmore Remix)

Matpat :       Werk That Nerve (Ben Mono Remix)

Ben Mono :       The Feel
gotdamn this Mono dude has some funky ass tracks

Blawan :       Getting Me Down

Nora En Pure :       Come With Me

Natural Self :       An Invisible Light &       Machine

    I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.

Las Escondidas Remix

EscondidasRMX-Cover450

Keepin it short & sweet right now. Happy to drop this official remix I did for the newly crowned “Princes of Latin Pop” on Nacional Records. I took the og electro cumbia pop song (prod. by the legendary Toy Selectah) and flipped it with a catchy latin-house / Miami-club type of feel. Been working pretty well for me recently on unsuspecting dancefloors. Shout out to MTV Iggy for spreading the love too! Free download, so grab it while it’s hot… Also, for any of you in the SF Bay Area, I’ll be spinning good records tonite at the massive Afrolicious 6yr Anniversary bash. Come through and get silly with us!
