[PREMIERE] XYLØ - ALIVE (KAIDRO REMIX)

We've always been big supporters of XYLØ, so when this next premiere was placed in my hot little hands I could not resist! Please meet yung east coast producer Kaidro who's crushed this remix of "Alive" in all the best ways! This rising star combines progressive house vibes with future beats to create a stellar sound of musical bliss.  As the day starts to wind down, this one is a great pick me up so grab your headphones and sink into this one! Want a free download? No problem, you can swoop that HERE! 

XYLØ - DEAD END LOVE (VASTA & N2N REMIX)

Time to get a little deeper with this combo of BB regulars XYLØ, Vasta and N2N. "Dead End Love" is definitely a favorite of the XYLØ releases (hell I pretty much like them all), but Vasta and N2N have a concocted a deeper version of the tune that's much more sweaty warehouse friendly. Honestly the first time I heard the tune I thought the way the vocals warped around in the chorus was a little jarring, but on second listen it started to gel and then became totally groovy. This is perfect for that afterhours joint and definitely keeps things kickin'. You can nab this as a free download here.

XYLØ - DEAD END LOVE

Happy hump day! I'm gonna start things off with this awesome new single from XYLØ. The Duddy's are simply getting it done giving us some really great radio friendly tunes, and "Dead End Love" is no exception. The track has a mysterious, but pensive angle to it like much of their other songs. The darker lyricism teams up with the solemn soundscape of the instrumental creating a terrifically moody tune, "If we drive right off a cliff, we can live dead end love forever," Paige sings casting a shadow over the tune. However there's enough ear candy in her melodies, and the vox chop sound in the chorus lightens things up just enough to let this track shine. Add another great song to their growing catalogue. You can purchase on iTunes here and stream the single on Spotify here.    

XYLØ - FOOL'S PARADISE

Ohh we at BB always get excited when XYLØ graces us with new music! I've been watching the Olympics the last couple days, and after a couple listens through I feel like "Fool's Paradise" would be a perfect track for an Olympics promo video. It has a darker intensity to it spurred by the driving piano, cinematic rhythm and deep voiced background hums. It sounds exotic but uplifting, like I want to go out and run a 5k or hit the gym. The track is pop pump up jam lead by Paige's lovely pipes and fierce lyricism (lots of P's in that sentence ha ha). Regardless, in our book XYLØ can do no wrong, so stack another tasty gem to their quickly growing catalogue. You can listen to this one on Spotify here and purchase on iTunes here. 

XYLØ - L.A. LOVE SONG (WIN & WOO REMIX)

Ohh it's always a happy Friday when our double dub homies Win & Woo release something new, and we're spun into a fury of excitement when it also involves one of our faves and Get Buzzzed alumni XYLØ! This is a match made in every kind of heaven. Win & Woo have been steadily crushing with release after release and "L.A. Love Song" is a perfect record to dive us into summer. Grab your piña colada and get poolside asap for this one. With jovial plucked melodies, tropical sounds and a little hip hop percussion, the boys have struck a nice balance of chill and hype resulting in a daytime heater. You can nab this on iTunes here. 

GET BUZZZED 2016 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: XYLØ

Coming at ya! We're now only 5 days away from our Get Buzzzed Austin 2016 Showcase!! If you haven't RSVP'd yet what are you waiting for??

In anticipation for this epic event we want you to get to know a few of our fantastic artists. Without further ado we present another chapter of...

THE GET BUZZZED ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: XYLØ

Q1. How old were you when you first started making music? When did it become serious?

I didn't start taking music seriously till I was 18 when I started working with Chase. - Paige

I was very young. Our grandfather is a jazz drummer and studio percussionist, he had me on his lap at the drum set since the day I could hold sticks. He gave me one of his drums kits when I was about 9. I remember playing to CDs like Rage Against the Machine, Weezer, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Green Day, Jackson 5, Earth Wind and Fire, Toto, Led Zeppelin.. I had played my first show at 10 and had my first recording session experience at 11 at Capitol Records. At this point I was hooked. I was strictly a drummer until my early 20’s when I got my first laptop and protools. This opened my world up to the possibilities of making music on my own. I eventually got into co-writing songs with artists and making a living getting my songs licensed in commercials and tv shows as well as composing music for adverts and major brands campaigns. This is what lead to Paige and I working together and creating XYLØ. I had asked her to work on a project with me for a brand and our chemistry excited me. Things just seemed to click. Things moved really fast and I ended up dedicated all of my time just to XYLØ. - Chase

Q2. Whether it’s a remix or an original, what is the first step you take when writing a track?

Sometimes it can be different, but usually I start out with chords on the piano and a rough beat. Then melodies ideas. And some ear candy stuff for vibe. Once this is down I feel like this helps with what the lyrics are going to say. The music almost speaks first and tells you what needs to be said and what the songs going to be about. - Chase

Q3. What is one of the best moments you've had so far in your career?

Hearing Zane Lowe premier our song Afterlife was a unforgettable moment. Besides that I think XYLØ in general to me has been the highlight of my musical struggle and journey. This is my baby and it's incredible to see the response we've got so far. I think it's amazing that I get to share this together with my little sister. - Chase

Playing my first live show ever which was with XYLØ about 6 months ago.- Paige  

Q4. What is another BUZZZworthy artist that inspires you and why?

Chaos Chaos ‘Do you Feel it’. I really like the sounds and the production. Nice voices. - Chase

Q5. Of all of your releases, which one is your favorite and why?

America just because it was the first song we released a year ago and it's what started it all basically for us. Not knowing what to expect and then hearing it on the radio and #1 on Hype Machine was really exciting. - Chase 

L.A Love Song is probably my favorite because I love singing that song live. We were suppose to release a different song originally and then last minute we wrote this one and we were like “ we need to put this out asap” - Paige

XYLØ - BANG BANG

Yay we've got a new one for you from our favorite brother and sister duo XYLØ! The release of "Bang Bang" also comes with announcements of their debut EP 'America' out February 26 on Sony's Disruptor Records. This EP showcases 6 songs from their incredibly quick rise to prominence, which we can definitely credit to their unbelievable songwriting. "Bang Bang" is distorted, driving pop track that starts and stops giving you a chance to catch your breath. The chorus is incredibly catchy and I can't wait to hear all the remixes that this one brings with it. I can just picture all the producers rubbing their hands together saying yep this is gonna be good. Also you can catch XYLØ at our #GetBuzzzed showcase in Austin March 16-19! RSVP's are now open and available here.    

XYLØ - AFTERLIFE (PLS&TY REMIX)

OK .... I mean ..... we keep talking about how rad PLS&TY is, and we post all his tracks, and he just keeps upping the game on us!  This Florida born LA livin' producer continues to blow my hair back with each sick remix he drops! Stop it, cos it's too much awesomeness! His version of "Afterlife" by XYLØ is insanely good! If you are looking for deep future bass vibes - found it! Grab this one as a free download HERE!
