Distinguished DJs, producers, and tastemakers, Birthdayy Partyy is twin brothers Bryan and Jon Gorecki. The multi-hyphenate pair make intoxicating bass house music for the masses. Inspired by a world reopening after years long shutdown, "Supercharged" was born out of deep self-reflection and mass motivation. In their own words, Birthdayy Partyy describe it as such: "This track is definitely our most significant release to date for a lot of reasons. We called it 'Supercharged' because ever since the start of 2021, we've felt this energy that motivated the sh*t out of us. Shows are getting ready to start again. We spent the last year refining and perfecting our sound, and we finally started to build the dream team around our project. It really feels like we're leveling up in all the ways we needed to." A vivacious blend of technical production prowess and nuanced bass house flair, "Supercharged" is the funky intersection of infectious bass and disco. Catchy vocal chops laid atop a punchy kick set the stage of Birthdayy Partyy's latest, as the brotherly duo work their way into a frenetic release of electrifying bass house.

BOTNEK & LOUDPVCK - TRAFFIC

"I don't always post bass, but when I do I prefer LOUDPVCK" - the most interesting man in the world. Well there you have it folks if the most interesting man digs it then I think you will too. But in all seriousness sometimes you just need to double down on that extra db of sub and Botnek and LOUDPVCK have both dug a deep hole, laid concrete and bunkered down in the bass hall of fame. Their new single "Traffic" is full of grimy goodness that's ready to get you hype for the weekend. Like all LOUDPVCK tunes you can expect it to come with a smirk, and this one features several vocal samples and extra add-ons that keep you saying where the fvck is this track is going to go.

LA you can also catch LOUDPVCK coming up next Saturday 3/4 at Exchange LA - get tickets here.

JOYRYDE - HOT DRUM

Damn Joyryde is simply crushing release after release. "Hot Drum" is yet another example of why Joyryde's meteoric rise in the last year is fully justified. The swag, sheer amount and precision of the various samples used throughout his records add a bombastically explosive quality that just cannot be tamed. "Hot Drum" prominently features a reggae steel drum sample in the chorus that comes out of nowhere, but somehow still fits like a glove. The record manages to calm down for a short oriental sounding breakdown, before winding back up for the end. I'm super excited for his LA debut at Control Sept 23rd. Hope to see all the LA bass heads ready to rock and roll. You can see the epic video and grab the download for this track on his website here. 

VENESSAMICHAELS - REALLY LIKE (FEAT. EFFY)

VenessaMichaels has been putting together a breakout catalogue over the last few months. From first making our Best of 2015 list, to putting out her and MOONZz's incredible "Killing Me Softly" cover, to rocking our SXSW 2016 showcase and NOW this killer new original "Really Like (feat. Effy)." What else can we say? Did I hear the term rising star get thrown around the office when her name was brought up? Well dive into her new single and enjoy. Starting super vibey with piano and Effy's heavenly voice, we're quickly bobbing and weaving around this record with synth stabs, light and jovial fills, energetic vox chops and moving bass. The track stays groovy through the end leaving us puffed up like a big ole bubble of big league chew. Something about the cover art must have inspired that gum analogy. Anyways you can nab this fun single fo FREE right here.
