Ahh here we go! I posted Jahkoy's killer ode to sunny Californ-I-A back in September (check out the sick original here), and now we're starting to see the remixes appear beginning with this romper of a record from Medasin. He's put his own vibey spin on it with wavey synths, bobbing bells, sound effects and a chill af drop that's beastly to say the least. The arpy synths chirp around the melody with a swag you can't help but bob your head to. Dive into this one nuff said.
Jahkoy
JAHKOY - CALIFORNIA HEAVEN (FEAT. SCHOOLBOY Q)
Music, Original MixCommentCaliforn-i-a you are just a sexy beast. You could take a poll of the most heaven-like places in the world and I guarantee California would be top of the list. Maybe I'm a little biased, but my 8 years on the West Coast have been the best of my life. The soul sultan Jahkoy has created his smooth ode to the Golden State and it's a damn near perfect R&B representation of the all of the Cali vibes. The track starts with a beachy reggae guitar riff that quickly makes way for booming sub and those classic hip hop hats and snares. Jahkoy's angelic vocals perfectly fit the heavenly lyricism floating us along into a fantastic verse from Schoolboy Q. I love the nod to LA's weekday party schedule, which is definitely a thing, and the layers of harmonies surrounding Jahkoy's soloing precision. What a cut that's totally keeping the summer Cali vibes alive! Don't ya wanna move to the westside? You can get "California Heaven" on digital retailers here.
JAHKOY - ALL OF YOU
Music, Original MixCommentGonna keep things chill here with another one of our Get Buzzzed Austin SXSW alumni JAHKOY. Produced by "Mighty" Mike McGarity of Kolaj, "all of You" is a sun soaked ballad that's as smooth as the spring breeze that's been sweeping over LA the last couple days. Piano driven with minimal drumming and bass with smatterings of guitar, JAHKOY shines over the track once again showing us his vocal prowess. The falsetto chorus hook "All of You" is deeply infectious and sparks this track off! As a treat we've also been given this as a free download so nab that here!

THE BEST OF 2015!
Music, Original Mix, RemixCommentOne thing I have always said is that I am definitely not a music journalist! Beautiful Buzzz was created as an outlet where I can tell my friends about all the great music I come across - and over the past few years we've grown into a fun place where people can find new tracks and listen to my stories! This Best Of 2015 list is personal; it's a combination of tracks I loved and great moments I had working with the artists over the past year - whether it was through the blog, at one of my Beautiful Buzzz shows, or just a night out on the town!! Enjoy!!
