Song of the Day: Griztonics – GRiZ & Subtronics

By |

“Ooh this shit be hittin’ different”. Perfectly described. The collaboration between GRiZ and Subtronics (bet you can’t guess where they got the name of the song from” is so infectious that people who don’t even like EDM can’t help but dance to it. It starts off like any other big room type with large, in-your-face, brass-like synths but after the drop we get a smooth, almost fluttering synth that is just so smooth. This back and forth continues throughout the song giving it a bouncy texture that’s irresistible. It’s incredibly popular for DJs to include in sets too because of that amazing first hook, so you’ll surely hear it time and time again.

If you’re not familiar with GRiZ, he hails from Michigan (but currently lives in Denver) and his productions typically fall under some slightly different EDM genres like glitch hop, electro-funk, and future funk. Similar artists to GRiZ include Big Gigantic, Gramatik, Pretty Lights, KOAN Sound, The Floozies, and Paper Diamond. His live sets are amazing as well as he’s an expert on the saxophone and breaks it out nearly every set.

Song of the Day: Mr. Navigator – Armin van Buuren vs Tempo Giusto

By |

Ready for Vegas pool party season?!?! Well, it’s over, but you can help re-live some of those up-tempo big room vibes with the newly released “Mr. Navigator” by the legendary Armin van Buuren and the Finnish tech trance producer Tempo Giusto. A perfect festival song for the largest of crowds, “Mr. Navigator” is on Armin’s next album BALANCE and is a song he’s been featuring in his sets for the last few months. BALANCE is coming out on October 25th, 2019 and if this track is any indication of what’s to come, it should be an album filled with his energetic sounds from beginning to end.

“Mr. Navigator” lyrics:

Back to the basics, freed from cages
Into the world of joy not stasis
Natural chemicals, endorphin, dopamine
Storming down my brain like a wild, wild vaccine

Welcome back Mr. Navigator
To rule your life and be the operator
Lose the role, find the soul, get the goal, make it whole
Never let the system take cruise control

(Tsooh!)
This is the weekend
When lame things end, meet your cool friend
Time to dance, take a chance, go wild, in a trance
Everyone can win a game of romance

Welcome back Mr. Navigator
To rule your life and be the moderator
Live it up, let it flow, lose it up, let it go
Be the miracle, your own commando

Commando
Commando
Commando
Commando
Commando
Commando
Welcome back Mr. Navigator

Welcome back Mr. Navigator
To rule your life and be the operator
Welcome back Mr. Navigator
To rule your life and be the moderator
(Welcome back Mr. Navigator)

Welcome back Mr. Navigator

Back to the basics, freed from cages
Into the world of joy not stasis
Natural chemicals, endorphin, dopamine
Storming down my brain like a wild, wild vaccine

Welcome back Mr. Navigator
To rule your life and be the moderator
Live it up, let it flow, lose it up, let it go
Be the miracle, your own commando

Welcome back Mr. Navigator
Welcome back Mr. Navigator
Welcome back Mr. Navigator
Welcome back Mr. Navigator
Navigator
Navigator
Navigator
Navi-navi-navi-navi-navi…

Welcome back Mr. Navigator
Welcome back Mr. Navigator

Welcome back Mr. Navigator

Welcome back Mr. Navigator
Welcome back Mr. Navigator

Song of the Day: Good Parts – Justin Caruso

By |

“Good Parts”, the new single from Los Angeles native Justin Caruso, perfectly emphasizes one of the emotions after a break-up; remembering all of the good times had. For a relatively sad song, it’s fairly light and upbeat. Maedi, the vocalist also out of L.A. has the perfect voice and tone for this track. The smooth plucks in the chorus are slowly covered by a piano sound which then perfectly blends into a bouncy drop. He has an absolute talent for producing songs that get people dancing.

Lyrics:

It’s over now, we both know that
What we said in anger we can’t take back
But your t-shirt’s in the bottom of my dresser drawer
Since I’m sharing, I still wear it when I miss you more

Know you’re moving on
It’s what we gotta do
And I hope she loves you
The way I used to
Like the night we drove for hours
Just to see the view
Woulda gone with you wherever

There’ll be a day
When you say my name
And she’ll ask you all about us
When you explain
Yeah, how will it taste?
When you’re telling her how it was

So don’t you leave the good parts out
All the times I never let you down
Don’t you remember all the fun we had
Now you’re looking back
Was it all that bad?
Don’t you leave the good parts

Don’t you leave the good parts

Do you have to mention that fight we had?
Screaming in the kitchen over broken glass
You said your mother always thought I was the selfish type
So I called my ex ’cause I knew that’d ruin your night

There’ll be a day
When you say my name
And she’ll ask you all about us
When you explain
Yeah, how will it taste?
When you’re telling her how it was

So don’t you leave the good parts out
All the times I never let you down
Don’t you remember all the fun we had
Now you’re looking back
Was it all that bad?
Don’t you leave the good parts
Don’t you leave the good parts…

Don’t you leave the good parts
Don’t you leave the good parts
Don’t you leave the good parts

Song of the Day: GO OFF (Nuthin’ 2 It) – Dillon Francis

By |

“GO OFF (Nuthin’ 2 It)” is the first release off of Dillon Francis’s upcoming mixtape. A departure from his foray into moombahton that he mostly focused on over the past year or two, this track is a fun mix of catchy vocals and deep house. Always the jokester, the vocals featured in this track are fun and somehow get you feeling hyped. It’s hard to tell where this track is trying to build to at first but once you hit the first minimal drop and hear that bassline, it’s impossible to not start dancing. Of course, the artwork for the track is nothing short of incredible as well.

Song of the Day: TIME – Alison Wonderland x QUIX

By |

New from Alison Wonderland and QUIX, out of Australia and New Zealand, respectively, TIME is a beautiful, psychedelic take on future bass. Starting with a slow build with a sharpening synth, the first drop is a false drop that helps build the core of the song towards the true drop. The clock ticking sound fits perfectly with the song title and helps build that tension into a full release. This is the kind of song you’d hear at a festival and think “woahhh, what was that?!”.
