Found This Week Ft. Kungs, Yellow Claw, Marshmellow + More

Found This Week is a mix of music from chill tunes to club bangers discovered on Spotify, Apple Music and channels from around the globe. This week we’ve got albums from two of dance music biggest acts and some great new music out of Australia. 

Kungs & Stargate FT. GOLDN
Be Right Here  [ NMF – Spotify France ]

Joining the long list of French producers setting the global standard in electronic music, Kungs is known for his global hit “This Girl”. He now provides us with an infectiously catchy club anthem on “Be Right Here” featuring Norwegian hit machine Stargate and vocalist GOLDN. The soothing vocals combined with crisp production has us betting it’s a summer hit. If you don’t know collaborators Stargate by name check out their discography including everyone from Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Sia.

Yellow Claw, Moksi ft Yade Lauren
Down On Love [ NMF Spotify Netherlands ]

Taken from Yellow Claw’s brand new album “New Blood”, this one popped up first spot on the Netherlands New Music Friday playlist . Having been introduced to Yade through Barong Family with songs such as ‘Invitation’ and her own single “Balcony” her soothing crisp vocals continue to delight. Teaming up with past collaborators Moksi and Yellow Claw together they’ve created a deliciously cool new record.

Tyde Levi
Goldchains [ Zane Lowe On Beats 1 ]

This one is a certified bop from 18 year old Melbourne artist Tyde Levi his top-level debut on Beats 1 by Zane Lowe. Goldchains is a masterfully produced future R&B and an exciting start for this young talent. His brother also happens to be Troye Sivan.

Dro Carey feat. Kwame, Renz & Raj Mahal
Atmosphere [ NMF Spotify Australia ]

This fresh as hell bass joint from Sydney Producer Bro Carey lays down heavy sounds with a vibrant flow. The song reps a global talent list, from London MC Rez to verses from Australia’s Kwame and Boston based Raj Mahal. With Kwame already being on our list of ones to watch given he just got added to both Big Sound and Splendour In The Grass’ Line Up this one over delivers on quality and I wish it was even longer! 

Two Can
Got Habits [ NMF Spotify Australia ]

Having surfaced to #1 on the Hype Machine charts this week we have an attention-grabbing electronic bass anthem from down under. Encompassing pop elements with the soothing vocal building into intricate future bass drops that stand out from the pack. Having previously remixed David Guetta, Sia, Jonas Blue and Galantis it’s not surprising this ones laced with production perfection and delivers a solid sounding 2018 debut for the brother duo. 

Marshmellow
Rooftops [Spotify Electronic – MINT]

The tasty candy themed artist Marshmellow has returned with his highly anticipated second album Joytime II. Having dropped recent hits such as Silence and FRIENDS, the record delivers an array of tasty electronic treats that see him step out of his recent formula of pop crossover hits. One of the new songs, “Rooftop” has an almost Blink 182 meets 2018 feel to it and is said to be his own vocals.

The Many Faces Of Diplo

Diplo continues to dominate music in 2018 like no other. On top of a highly succesfull EP featuring the likes of MØ, Santigold, Desiigner and Trippie Red, he’s also added two more artist projects including LSD with Sia & Labrinth and “Silk City” his newest project with Mark Ronson.

Fader labeled Diplo “pop music’s problem child” and you know what, we find it hard to disagree. The producer, all round creator and Mad Decent label head is a brand genius that has transcended genres, platforms and borders doing whatever he wants.

His musical breakouts include “Express Yourself”,”Where Are Ü Now” as Jack Ü ft. Justin Bieber” and of course ‘Lean On” with DJ Snake ft. MØ as Major Lazer that has surpassed a billion streams.

DAmz7c2XcAAO7IX.jpg

His diverse range of collaborators show his willingnes to expirement and surface new talent from all over the globe where he tours. Among them are names like Die Antwoord, J Balvin, Madonna, Shakira, Beyoncé, No Doubt, Usher, Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown, CL, Tiesto, Don Diablo, Laidback Luke, Dillon Francis, Mike Posner, Boaz Van Da Beatz,  Starrah, French Montana and Lil Pump.

But one could argue it his knack for finding forward thinking eclectic sounds and producers and bringing them together that has kept him to forefront of music for at least the past decade. Coupled with his long reign of the Diplo & Friends show on BBC Radio 1 and his recently launch metoric Revoloution Radio on Sirus XM he’s hosted festivals in Pakistan and partnered with brands such as Bacardí, Google, Deadpool and more.

He recently allowed James Van Der Baek to parody his life as a DJ in “What Would Diplo Do” which was accompanied by still ongoing parady Twtter that has had some internet beefs of its own.  Despite his succes Diplo as he says didnt intend to become one of the scenes icons “it just happened”, and while he may not have meant to he is increasingly using his platform to educate and put out his own flavour worldwide. 

Now teaming up with “Uptown Funk” producer Mark Ronson with the addition of a club orientated “Silk City” he is only set to continue his  blending of dance culture, the duo launched their first single “Only Can Get Better” featuring Daniel Merriweather. with a premiere on BBC Radio 1 and an essential mix the following day and have reveleaed there will be a new song with Dua Lipa – who’s now had the longest running UK #1 in history with her Calvin Harris collab “One Kiss”.

The R&B world has a new star, and she’s a 19 year old hailing from Jakarta Indonesia with a global audience.

 After perfecting and honing her craft NIKI only emerged last year in her current from. Her beats are smooth and sensual and sounds like a blend of Destiny’s Child and Aaliyah.

Her first performance was supporting Taylor Swift as a result of competition. Now she’s toured USA, Australia, and is about to embark on an Asia tour supporting none other than Halsey. Zephyr her debut 7 track EP highlights a talent that NIKI is on a path to global domination.

In the short time since launching the project she’s toured USA, Australia, and is about to embark on an Asia tour supporting none other than Halsey. Zephyr features a beautifully crafted collection of songs, from singles such as “Vintage” and “Dancing With The Devil” we knew the EP was going to be expertly crafted and between “Newsflash!” and “Friends” it’s clear that NIKI’s an artist not to be messed with and her lyrics show she’s wise beyond her years. Check out the Video’s off the EP below and dive into the full EP now.

DJ Snake And Mercer Link On Let’s Get Ill

So while DJ Snake got trolled by Dillon Francis earlier in the week, it turned out the french beat master did in-fact have new music out anyway. With hints of an album earlier in May it can no doubt be realized that the campaign is underway and we can expect a full album release date shortly.

For now Snake teams up with his Pardon My French buddy Mercer on an juicy jacking house weapon that’s no doubt set to hit dance floors alight. Take a listen on Spotify below or Apple Music Here



Why Martin Garrix Isn’t Playing Unreleased Music Anymore

Why Martin Garrix Isn’t Playing Unreleased Music Anymore

Martin Garrix, the #1 DJ in the world has decided to limit the amount of unreleased music he plays in his sets. The reason for this limitation is due to pirates re-creating the tracks and then releasing them on YouTube as well as releasing on Spotify under their own name.

This is a major inconvenience for Martin Garrix and his team, the process of taking these stolen tracks down is not simple. Having your music on stores under another name months before official means the tracks available for everyone, creating less hype for the official release. Martin Garrix has said that he will not be playing many unreleased tracks in sets and on livestreams. 

This is extremely disappointing news as fans who go to Martin Garrix shows will not have the full experience, not get played new Garrix music. Let’s hope the individuals responsible discontinue ripping his tracks for personal gain and everyone can experience an equally incredible Martin Garrix performances.

FL Studio 20 For Mac

FL Studio 20 For Mac

Producers around the globe undoubtedly know of the DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) FL Studio, previously known as Fruity Loops. The Belgian company behind it, Image-Line was founded in 1994 by two creators who’d previously made stock market software and decided to branch into video games and later music software.

Anyone who’d produced or tried to learn music production likely encountered the software somewhere along the line. However, until this year, it was only available on Windows OS or via Bootcamp set up.

FL Studio has been favoured by the likes of Avicii, Dyro, Angger Dimas, Afrojack and Martin Garrix for its the ability to easily and quickly sketch out ideas. However many eventually moved over to more Mac Friendly software and so after many years the company launched a version working natively on Mac. They also included lifetime updates in FL Studio 20 so you never need to purchase it again.

Have you used FL Studio on Mac? Let us know.
