PANG! is somehow a group that wasn't on my radar. I got an email regarding this new single, and I instantly had to do some research. While this Swedish duo has remained in relative ambiguity, they've put up some insane numbers on Spotify with "Walking in the Sun" raking up 23 million streams and 524,329 monthly listeners. Their newest is a rework of a song they found through an online video posted from the featured vocalist Cameron Douglas. "Cigarette" is a joy to listen to with beautiful acoustic guitar work, folksy style vocals and tropical bells and xylophones. This song is a chilled out delight and is mellowing out my hump day. Oh and just check out that cover art from Faustroll Garden. Out via Dirty Soul can stream/buy this single here.

[PREMIERE] SAM FELDT - BEEN A WHILE
Music, Original Mix, PREMIERE1 CommentWhat a treat right here! Sam Feldt destroyed 2015 bringing his deep tropical sensibilities to incredible remixes of Years & Years, Avicii and Icona Pop, not to mention a fantastic original in "Drive You Home." Well now BB has the pleasure of premiering Sam's first original of 2016 "Been A While!" I love that Sam has continued to involve live instrumentation into his mixes and this record, much like his previous original release "Drive You Home," showcases the trumpet. "Been A While" has a very endearing personality to it, keeping things light with the guitar melody and subtle bass. This allows the track to be chill, but definitely not too serious as shown by the pitched up vocals and whistling. A feel good tune through and through, Sam has delivered a sense of comfort with this record once again stretching the boundaries of modern dance music. I truly feel this record has massive main stream cross over potential given its almost folk like resemblance and charming appeal. What a great way to pick up your day! Out tomorrow February 5th on Spinnin' Deep.
