Song of the Day: High Enough – Justin Caruso

By 20-somethinglife | July 26, 2018

Justin Caruso is best known for his remixes of top artists but has recently been putting out more and more of his original music, further showcasing his talent. “High Enough”, featuring vocals from the Canton, MA native Rosie Darling, speaks to a relationship that just doesn’t seem to quite work, a feeling that most of us can surely relate to. With melody driven synths in the chorus and an incredible performance from Rosie in the verses creates a perfect example of Justin Caruso’s EDM style.

For more Justin Caruso, check out his remix of Tritonal’s “Good Thing” in the Ryse Radio Ep. 5 mix.

Song of the Day: Cool Kidz – Boehm

By 20-somethinglife | July 25, 2018

Boehm, the Romanian producer, recently released “Cool Kidz” a bouncy track with fun synths, chopped vocals, and plenty of snaps a la The Chainsmokers. It’s a perfect, fun summertime song for your pool or beach playlist.

For other songs like this, check out “Satisfied” by Galantis, the Nicky Romero remix of ROZES’s “Where Would We Be”, and “Out My Mind” by Tritonal.

Song of the Day: Satisfied (feat. Max) – Galantis

By 20-somethinglife | July 23, 2018

The Swedish duo Galantis has an amazing ability to create dance songs that make people, well, want to dance. The EDM genre has diversified greatly over the last decade into more sub-genres than there are breeds of dogs. Galantis, however, sells out shows because they make music that is so infectious everyone starts dancing to it even if they’re more of a bass-head or trance fan. “Satisfied” featuring vocals from MAX, is peak Galantis when it comes to that irresistible groove that lifts everyone up.

So, check it out and let “Satisfied” put a little Shiba Inu (and you thought we wouldn’t be able to work in another dog breed reference).

Song of the Day: Glimmer (William Black Remix) – LIONE

By 20-somethinglife | July 19, 2018

Hailing from Orange County, William Black is recently really trying to hit his stride. In this remix of “Glimmer” by Lione, he adds a melodic plucky synth that matches perfectly with a more minimal style percussive sound. It’s a melancholy song, but he manages to make it a bit brighter and fun.

In his own words:

I had a really fun time with this remix, Once I heard the vocals I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. Huge thanks to LIONE for asking me to do it.

He has a few other great songs out at the moment so we’re sure we’ll see his name popping up more and more.

Song of the Day: Gold (Stupid Love) – Illenium & Excision

By 20-somethinglife | July 17, 2018

The new Illenium and Excision collaboration just dropped this morning and it is some of what the best the two artists have to offer. Featuring vocals from Shallows, “Gold (Stupid Love)” starts with a dark guitar riff, typical of Illenium. Moving into the melodic dubstep sounds that both Illenium and Excision are known for, the song explodes in depth and power. In songs like this, the vocals are generally meant to accentuate the melody and drums, and that’s what we have here. The secondary drop seems to have more of an Excision influence with how gritty it is. It’s incredibly fun to hear these two artists play off of each other’s strengths so well. The hype around this song’s release was clearly justified.

For more Illenium, check out “Fractures” and “Lost”.
