It's been a long time since I was around these parts, but (for now) I'm back to present a project I was waiting on for a long minute. Iman Omari is a name I've been flying around on here for quite some time, giving people a proper introduction with his euphoric "Energy" video. The wait is finally over now that he releases his first full-length LP (VIBE)rations, filled with the airy, sensual sound of spacey R&B. It's organic, expansive, and instantly gravitational it its pull as you're swept in by the first synth. [...]
Les presentamos a Dornik, el nuevo integrante del sello londinense PMR Records, de donde vienen Julio Bashmore , Disclosure , Two Inch Punch , Jessie Ware , etc. Lo escuchamos por primera vez en el Primavera Sound donde además de ser el baterista de Jessie Ware, interpretó "Valentine" y lo hizo muy bien . Su primer sencillo "Something About You" lleno de esa vibra de r&b ochentero, capta perfecto lo que el joven productor puede hacer. Enjoy.
I'm pretty sure we've made it clear that we're big fans of alternative-Britpop group The Vibe! Soon to release their new EP EYES on July 13th, we thought the timing was perfect to show everyone this band's talent! Have a look as The Vibe give AMBY an exclusive video of their track lovely Wise Man ! The Vibe- Wise Man Interview // Review // Facebook // Twitter // SoundCloud // Alicia [...]
Dutch producer deeB recently released his newest EP on Dusted Wax Kingdom. After his first EP called Daydream he made a selection of more organic/natural beats. Last year deeB played on the little stage Beatflakes hosted on Solar Festival . Simply because we knew this guy had some amazing tunes that are perfect to relax to in combination with some sunshine and a few beers. So when we heard about this new album we knew it couldn't disappoint us. And it didn't. It contains 9 beats so I'd rather approach this as being an [...]
A whirlwind of a week is ending with a whirlwind of a weekend. My 9-5 has me covering the New York City leg of Electric Daisy Carnival and last night's stages were fire, and tonight's lineup is even more impressive. Calvin Harris , Thomas Gold , and Afrojack are capping off the festival and I feel so honored that it's apart of my job to experience this. Today's track is a lil' bit out of the EMPT norm, but it's so appropriate for this weekend. Think what you want about EDM, but it's not [...]
Amel Larrieux - For Real (IAMNOBODI Remix)
Last night I tried a little Adderall. It was working for a while until I thought about your smile. I got that fire Cali medical, but it never gets me high. Baby only you know why, 'Cause darling You, you are my designer drug, and only you aan help me, and I can't get enough." [...]
Montel McWilliams stole my heart with a preview of this track a couple weeks ago, before mysteriously pulling it off his soundcloud...only to TOTALLY REDEEM HIMSELF. To commemorate his 1000th follower on soundcloud, Montel decided to hand over this Eddie Murphy based (and still true) tune about how white people can't dance. We can't and we shouldn't be denying it. I'd dance like the goofiest doof if I heard this come on in virtually any environment. Check up on Montel , too. Very fresh and [...]
I don't care how many CDJs Skream chucks into crowds -the man consistently makes phenomenal and innovative music. He clearly knows how to party, and he has a shit load of fun doing it. Moreover, he doesn't give a fuck about what's hot and what's not-he does what he wants. Rather than moving to Trap like every other Dubstep producer, he's created an original sound that I can't quite find the words for-it's like some sexual 80s Donna Summer vibes that makes your body move in unfamiliar ways. It's a prime follow-up to [...]
One of the largest music publication network, SpinMedia, has added Vibe Magazine to its ever-growing network by acquiring the Magazine and all of its other sites: Vibe.com, VibeVixen.com and the Vibe magazine physical publication. New York Times... [[ This is a content summary only. Click on the titles for full stories... ]]
After SPIN Magazine closed its print publication to invest their resources in digital, it looks as if they are now working to broaden their horizons with the acquisition of Vibe. Just like with SPIN, though, they are closing the print publication and deciding to work solely on the digital side of things for the time being. And this is just one of many new owners for Vibe, who has seen change and transition go several times over the course of its life. This streamlined approach seems to be the most effective yet. We are eager to see how [...]
Take a fucking bow son, Jack Swift is a beast of selector who will take you back in time with this one. This is by far one of the best chronicled mixes I have ever heard. Classics that range from Tuff Jam , R.I.P Productions , Kerri Chandler and so much more. This is perfect for your pre-game endeavors and to get the party started righteously.
This Thursday I only have ears for the JAMES BLAKE latest LP, whilst me eyes are hearting both the MIGUEL and the KENDRICK LAMAR on the cover of this month's Vibe magazine.
Monday means building up to the weekend, again. No worries, Shak. has the perfect medicine for you to get through your heavy monday. His newest tune: "Same Time, Same Places" is pure meditation. Very chilly vibes and dreamy feel to this one. We're absolutely loving the new direction Shak. has chosen to take with his productions. This new sound is great. https://soundcloud.com/shaktaj iri/same-time-same-places Download
![Birthday – Vibes [Potholes Album Premiere]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4865467_lg.jpg)
Over the past week or so, we quickly hipped y'all to the sounds of Maryland-dwelling producer Birthday . It was all a lead up to his latest opus, Vibes , which is summed up quite well by its above artwork. The album is smoky and covered with a thick hot-boxed feel, though not obnoxiously so. You could call this blunted and weeded music (I know I have), but there's more to it than that. Birthday's got a knack for harnessing his sample source's melody, riding it out, and infusing it with his own touches. That's evident on [...]
![Birthday – “When We’re Together Part II” [Potholes Premiere]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4863259_lg.jpg)
We're coming full circle with our coverage of '80s-loving, weed-tokin' producer Birthday . Last summer, we were taken by his Intimate Moment With Mary project and have been sharing his tunes ever since. Thus, it's only fitting that we bring you his latest cut, "When We're Together Part II", which serves as a sequel to a track off Mary . It's just as trippy and bursting with vibes as the original and it packs plenty of its own touches and quirks to make it a proper (and successful!) second part in the opus. [...]
Brodanse - Activate ft. Cari Golden (Oliver $ Back To School Mix)
Together with Dougie Brown, our very own Tom Lord forms VS//YOUTHCLUB. These two producers from Northern England had their debut release in 2012. This release, WAVES, was published digitally through notorious independent net-label Aural Sects. After that they obviously made some more awesomeness. Their remixes of Crystal Castles' Untrust Us and Purity Ring's Belispeak both charted in the top 20 remixes on Hype Machine. We congratulate them on reaching 100.000 plays on their "Untrust Us" remix. Awesome work Tom & Dougie. https://soundcloud.com/crystal -castles/crystal-castles-untru st-us
We like surprises, and Neptune Safari's latest (and debut) track: " Adeline is in a water drop " is definitely one of them. There's not much that can be found about this "new" Nu-disco producer except that he hails from Paris, France. All we know is this is definitely a producer to keep an eye on. A combination of smooth synths and a lovely bass make this an instant disco classic. https://soundcloud.com/neptune safari/neptune-safari-adeline- is-in-a
Producer Chits doesn't release a lot of tunes, but when he does, it's quality stuff. His tunes always have that lovely, joyful vibe to them. Dreamy bass tracks for sure. After a dope tune on " Atlantics Vol 2 " and his own " U(rself) EP " from last year, he recently released the tune "Future in Shambles". Again, with that unique " Chits " sound, this time spiced up with vocals from Future's "Karate Chop". https://soundcloud.com/chits/f uture-in-shambles
