Loud Luxury Return With ‘I’m Not Alright’ Feat Bryce Vine + Tour

0

Canadian duo LOUD LUXURY are one of the fastest rising dance acts worldwide, and today they have released their first single of the year. Teaming up with Bryce Vine (“Drew Barrymore,” “La La Land” ft YG) they’ve created “I’m Not Alright” which follows up smash hits “Body” and “Love No More.” Simultaneously they have announced they will embark on their first ever major headlining North American tour.

Speaking on the new single, Loud Luxury explain “this song is about coming to terms with your flaws.”, it was written following a chance encounter with Vine. “The next day, he came over and showed us an idea he made that was just a guitar and the chorus,” continues Loud Luxury. From there it was developed over many months along their tour and the finished piece has resulted in an infectiously catchy anthem that continues to carve out a unique sound for the duo.

Hear Madeon’s New Single ‘Dream Dream Dream’

As promised earlier in the week Madeon today delivered another pre-album single in ‘Dream Dream Dream’, it was premiered on his new Beats 1 Show “Good Faith Radio”. Speaking on the song he says ‘Dream Dream Dream’ is the very first song that opens my upcoming album, and I’m really proud of that song”. The new single shines off his signature electronic sounds and explores an almost gospel sounding vocal. We can see why it’s the opening of the album with a euphoric vocal and excellent production from the French mastermind.

Speaking further on it he states “I really was really happy when I made it because I felt like it captured what I was trying to achieve aesthetically with good faith and what I was trying to communicate in terms of lyrical content and just meaning and purpose, I guess, so I felt like I finally found the vibe, I guess. hope you like it too. I’m really excited for people to finally hear it because I made it quite a while ago. I’ve been just holding onto it, waiting for the right time, and the right time is right this second, right now on Beats 1.”

Adding to “All My Friends”, anticipation for the new album is bubbling with incredible hype. We’ll no doubt be tuning into the next iteration of “Good Faith Radio” as we suspect this will be a core platform for unveiling the album tracks as weeks pass.

Listen to ‘Dream Dream Dream” below:

0

Jordy Saämena, better known as GANZ, is a producer/DJ extraordinaire hailing from Amsterdam who is renowned for his masterful blend of hip-hop and electronica. His trademark “Flips” for Flume x Hermitude, Snakehips, Alison Wonderland, and Crystal Fighters have become iconic and it’s clear he has a magic touch. GANZ now adds this to a brand new edit of Doja Cat’s 2016 hit “Casual” in heavy bass/poppy edit.

The edit follows up on his recent single “Carry Me” featuring Jantine and his stunning Dim Mak EP, Skin In The Game, which earned accolades from various blog outlets including Complex. It also backs up official remixes of tracks such as ODESZA’s hit “Say My Name”, and Hermitudes ‘Stupid World’ featuring Bibi Bourelley.

The Amsterdam based producer felt it was time for a special treat for his day one fans by reviving Doja Cat’s 2016 R&B single “Casual” into a fresh bass poppy edit. The edit blends catchy vocal chops with banging drums patterns, layered with uplifting chords into a massive fresh electronic tune. The track is up on SC and available as a free download via Bandcamp. GANZ’s next edit is lined-up already and will see the light later this month.

GANZ debuted the “Casual” GANZ Edit and more new original productions and remixes which will be released the coming months on his #BANGUERS with BENZI Guest Mix for Diplo’s Revolution (Sirius/XM Radio).

Remix Radar 010: Featuring Don Diablo, Benny Benassi, and MK


Welcome back to Remix Radar! We took a short vacation to re-energize and to celebrate the American Independence Day. That means to make up for being AWOL we will cover the past two weeks of remixes. Without further adieu, Remix Radar 010!

Zara Larsson – All the Time (Don Diablo)

To kick things off this week, I bring forth a bounce-y future house remix from Don Diablo. The remix is exactly what you expect and want from Don, a perfect dose of energy to start the day.

Sigala & Becky Hill – Wish You Well (Benny Benassi Remix)

At the spritely age of 51, Benny Benassi is still crushing the dance world.  He spins a delicious house remix of Sigala and Becky Hill’s “Wish You Well”,  proving that age is only a number and that it won’t stop Benny from continue being a trailblazer.

Mark Ronson Ft. Camila Cabello – Find U Again (MK Remix)

MK highlights why  he’s been a leading purveyor of house music, since the 90s with his remix of “Find U Again”. The 46 year-old spins the Mark Ronson and Camila Cabello hit into a dazzling, fresh house mix that is better than the original.

MK – Body 2 Body (Chris Lake Remix)

MK makes another appearance, but this time as the muse to the genius that is Chris Lake. Mr. Lake provides the epilogue to MK’s “Body 2 Body” remix pack and it’s a groovy tech house spin, which will be a staple of the Ibiza summer.

Kiiara – Open My Mouth (Michael Calfan Remix)

 Michael Calfan douses “Open My Mouth” with a piano melody to make it his own bop. The overall vibe feels very Michael Calfan, while providing a fresh groove.  

Calfan also released a remix for Labrinth’s “Miracle”. It’s another great track and I highly recommend a listen. 

KREAM & Eden Prince Ft. Louisa – Ain’t Thinkin Bout You (KC Lights Remix)

 Another week, another appearance by KC Lights. The Scottish producer/DJ has been absolutely crushing it with his remixes of MK and his recent, mind-melting single, “Sol“. He continues his brilliance with a funky house remix of KREAM and Eden Prince’s “Ain’t Thinkin Bout You”. It’s everything you would want to hear while deep in a club.

Jess Glynne & Jax Jones – One Touch (Todd Edwards Remix) 

 The legend, Todd Edwards, constructs a sizzling remix of “One Touch”. Edwards stays true to his style and proves his legendary status in UK Garage, while making “One Touch” his own.

Catz ‘n Dogz Ft. ZENSOFLY & Maxville – Wave (Justin Martin Remix)

 Justin Martin constructs a whimsical tech house remix of “Wave” by Catz ‘n Dogz. Justin adds a layer of thick bass and oscillating elements layered within the sound design to truly make something exciting. It’s clear to see Justin’s production wizardry.

Africanism with Martin Solveig – Edony (Nico De Andrea Remix) 

My favorite remix of the week, Nico De Andrea intoxicates listeners with his remix of “Edony” by the collaborative project, Africanism. It exudes Middle Eastern vibes and tribal beats, creating something that feels classic, yet timeless. Overall, it’s a jam!  The Ferdy remix is also really cool. 

Dom Dolla – Take It (Billy Kenny Remix) 

The Don of This Ain’t Bristol provides the closing chapter of Dom Dolla’s “Take It” Remix Pack. The result is an absolute monster of a tune that tickles listeners with pleasure.

Yolanda Be Cool – Space Jam (Noizu Remix) 

 Noizu sends people to space with his tech-house remix of Yolanda Be cool’s cover of “Space Jam”. This one is perfect for an acid-infused Space Jam party as it will only enhance the trip.

graves Ft. ZEKE BEATS – Intro (UKato Remix) 

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen an intro track receive a remix. Well, graves thought it was a brilliant idea and entrusted UKato to provide the sauce. Overall, UKato dazzles with his DnB remix.

ZDS & Will Clarke – The Beat (Two Tails Remix) 

Two Tails have been making their ascent via Dirty Bird Records and it continues with the blissful tech-house remix of “The Beat”. The Minnesotan duo construct a savory beat that pairs well with piña coladas and pool parties.

Ben Pearce Ft. Tayla – Fireproof (Ten Ven Remix) 

 I really enjoy the vibe Ten Ven constructs out of “Fireproof”. It’s a bit sexier and sultrier than the original with sizzling snares and a really interesting vocal chop. I also think Tayla’s vocals work even better amongst Ten Van’s dark synth progression.

Diplo Ft. Tove Lo – Win Win (Yotto Remix)

I never expected to hear a Diplo and Tove Lo track receive a space-y makeover. Thankfully Yotto was entrusted. The remix is a deep dive into the ethereal plane that sends listeners floating through a world of shivering synths and glittering lights.

ONE FROM THE VAULT

Boys Noize – Midnight (Boys Noize & Mr. Oizo Handbraekes Remix)

 To close this week, I bring forth the dark and twisted Handbrakes Remix by Mr. Oizo and Boys Noize. The pair flip “Midnight’ into something even more startling and terrifying than the original. This is a perfect shot of energy to continue the grind to the sunrise.
