[PREMIERE] LEO STANNARD X FRANCES - GRAVITY (LUCA SCHREINER REMIX)

PREMIERE, RemixMike DooseComment

While this week has brought no shortage of high profile new releases from the likes of massive artists like Kendrick Lamar and Frank Ocean and indie stars like Sweater Beats and Bishop Briggs, I’ve got a premiere for you today that I hope makes new fans out of BB readers of some names that are new to me as well. 

When this remix found it’s way into my inbox I wondered how I hadn’t heard of Leo Stannard, Frances, or Luca Schreiner yet. The caliber of the original artists’ voices and the polished contemporary bounce of the production exemplify what’s great about new music these days. I would show this track to people who argue that there’s no good music coming out now. "Gravity" is just a great song with catchy pop songwriting, smooth vocals from Stannard and Frances who are both from the UK (naturally), and it’s full of happy vibes, an ode to the one person that is always there for you, your ride or die, or as Leo puts it, your ‘Gravity’. Young German producer Luca Schreiner, whose tropical deep house crossovers we’ve actually supported in the past, has managed to put a little pep into it and make it dance floor friendly while still preserving the original’s impact as an uplifting pop anthem. 

Speaking on this remixing effort, Luca told us, “With this remix it was all about keeping the dreamy yet beautiful vibe of the original and giving it a ‘modern’ type of electronic sound. I also wanted to include more natural instruments so I added the horn elements, which has become a trademark sound of my last several productions. The key was to not whitewash Leo and Frances’ amazing vocals: it was more important to add unique sounds to complete an already amazing sonic picture.”

FAREOH - ILLEGAL (FEAT. KATELYN TARVER)

Fareoh's back and in a big way! Not that he was ever gone. We've been big supporters of the NY producer for some time now. His big, inspiring melodic productions are the kind of tracks you blast in the car, but could definitely still get down to on the dance floor. This latest banger "Illegal" with Katelyn Tarver is pure pop-electro pleasure. Playful yet sophisticated production, catchy songwriting, and just a great overall positive vibe. You might even catch me shamelessly fist bumping to this one driving down the 405. Listen above and grab it for yourself HERE.

FLOR - UNSAID (INSTANT KARMA REMIX)

Music, Original MixEricComment

The vibrant ladies of LA via London's Instant Karma have put out an awesome feel good record with this remix of Flor's amazing tune "Unsaid." The vibes emanating from this upbeat tune have got me smiling like a kid at the zoo. The chorus features an asian/tropical like plucked melody that works perfectly with the acoustic guitar and vocals. This is the second song I've supported from the ladies, and I'm positive there's much more gold to come. Grab this free download here.
