LA producer Gryffin teamed up with Daya for a song called “Feel Good.” The song has only been out four days and it’s already flirting with 200,000 spins on Soundcloud. Not bad.

My daughter wanted shoes like her Mom for her birthday…. but they don’t make three-stripers in a kids rose gold…so she gets gold gold.
Happy Monday!

Dallas Green is sharing two unreleased songs from his 2015 album If I should Go Before You. The songs are “Peaceful Road” and “Rain.” The press release says, “both tracks were cut in Nashville during recording sessions for his #1 album.”
The songs will be released a single that you can order as a vinyl record, or digitally from iTunes.
Have a listen to the chill “Rain.”
It’s like Dallas Green wrote a chill lullaby for Vancouver.
Here’s that time in 2015 when I interviewed Dallas Green when the album If I Should Go Before You came out.

I have been loving Bonobo’s Migration record. One of the standouts his his joint with vocalist Rhye.
The two showed up on the Song Exploder podcast this week. A very cool episode that deep dives in to Simon Green’s creative process.
I love how the podcast pulls apart the layers of the songs and has Simon explain where the samples come from, or what inspired them. How he then manipulates them and then throws the whole project over to Rhye to get his spin on vocal performance. Rhye also shares the personal story behind the lyrics..Adds a lot of weight and context to the enjoyment to the song.

I know Latitudes Margaritaville, Florida is for seniors, but I kinda want to live there! I’d be eating so many cheeseburgers in this “master-planned” paradise.
The Margaritaville blog describes the community: “no worries,” tropical vibe, offering an immersive brand experience. Current plans call for walkable neighborhoods and a Town Center featuring a fitness center with an aerobics studio, indoor lap pool, spa, and group fitness classes; indoor and outdoor dining with signature Margaritaville food and beverage concepts, as well as others; arts and learning programs for residents and guests; and a resort pool area with beach entry. In true Margaritaville fashion, music will also play an important part in the community, with a band shell for live entertainment in the Town Center. A private beachfront club with breathtaking views and beachfront amenities will be set on the Atlantic Ocean, which residents can access via a continuous loop shuttle service.
An “immersive brand experience.” All Jimmy Buffett, all the time. Hmmm… I wonder if there is a Michael Crichton, Jurassic Park/Westworld novel story in here somewhere?
Go with yourself.

Moscow guy Denis First has a nice remix of Milky Chance’s modern rock hit “Cocoon.” Love the energy on this.

Our man Koni is back with a cover of The Chainsmokers and Coldplay joint, “Something Just Like This.”
Koni puts his signature deep house/tropical vibe on the song and enlists vocalist Marina Lin (from Toronto!).

The Vancouver Canucks have been ravaged with a case of The Mumps this year and I felt bad so we wrote and recorded a song for them.
