The Death of Summer
So here we are. Waiting out the official last week of summer before Fall shows up on Monday. The weather has already started changing from blistering heat to beautiful chilly, yet still warm enough, days. Jackets are being pulled out of the closet. Clothing colors are getting darker. If they changed summer vacation to fall vacation instead then life would be so much better. No one wants to be outside in the heat of summer where I live. Here's some tracks to help with the switch from summer to fall.
Night Drive + Goldroom
Night Drive's been busy in the studio producing their new album. When they heard the airy vocal stems, the two producers decided to make use of the studio time and put their own spin on the track. Adding live bass, guitars, and layered with silky electronic textures, Night Drive has created a unique track that stands all on its own. The remix picks up the pace with a soothing pulse of energy that glides along the top of a soft undercurrent to the end of summer.
Brazzabelle + Destiny’s Child
Brazzabelle is definitely one of my favorite newer artists to come around. Every track that I've been hearing is just crushing it. Maybe that's why I keep posting her stuff. Yesterday she gave us her big festival trap remix of Destiny's Child's big hit - Say My Name. Download it and love it.
Autograf
4 summers ago we were catching Soulwax / 2ManyDJs' set at Lollapalooza. They were on the dance stage up against Lady Gaga on the main. Halfway through their set as they were taking us to another level, the whole crowd started chanting "Fuck Lady Gaga!" for a good 20 minutes. You could tell it was the start of something big for dance culture. Since then, dance music has taken some really interesting twists and turns. So for Issue 2 of our ongoing "Future Summer" series, we wanted to cover an epic festival hit from 4 years ago, and bring it into The Future by giving it a sexy Tropical House / Future House chill vibe appropriate for any pool party or late night festival vibe tent.
