LA producer/DJ Mahalo gives us an atmospheric deep house spin of ZHU‘s “in The Morning.”
“Music is Faceless.
Let my music tell my story.” – alright, ZHU…let’s go.
I’ll need to add this jammer to my set at Match. Deep House isn’t for everyone, but on the slower nights, the workers seem to like the beats.
Go with yourself.

The Chainsmokers have new new emo-EDM cut for us called “Paris.”
Alex from the duo said, “We are really excited about this song because it feels like a really big step in our production and song writing. We tried to switch it up a bit and the song feels a lot more rhythmic and we pulled a lot of inspiration from bands we grew up loving.”
Jeeze, over 2 million views in a day and a bit? Chainsmokers are doing alright.

I first fired up Highly Suspect when I was looking at some Grammy nominations and saw their record on the list. The “hotboyz outta Brooklyn” were nominated for a couple awards last year…sadly, not winning. But hey, just getting recognized is something right? It got me to hit play on their record.
Their single, “My Name Is Human” from their 2016 album, The Boy Who Died Wolf, was a number one song on Mainstream Rock chart sin the US…and it’s climbing at modern rock.
I love the fierce political voice int he group…and the music reminds me a little of Middle Class Rut. All good things.

Vagrant Records sent an email today to say they are rereleasing three of Alkaline Trio‘s classic records.
The band released a string of records in the early-to-mid 2000s on Vagrant. Starting with 2001 From Here to Infirmery, Good Mourning and wrapping with 2005’s Crimson.
It was on a Vagrant music video compilation DVD where I first found out about Alkaline Trio.
The split colour presses are beautiful!

Norwegian ‘Scandi-pop’ duo Anna of The North (Anna Lotterud & Brady Daniell-Smith) have a beautiful music video for us today for their song “Oslo.”
Brady has never been to Oslo (or hadn’t at the time of writing the song) and was inspired seeing a picture of the city. “I’d never been to Oslo. It seemed so untouched and really captured my imagination.”
They met some Norwegian friends in Australia and they were homesick so they mashed it out. “I met Anna soon after and we finished it together – she brought an authenticity to it that makes it feel like a love letter to the city.”
Since Vancouver has basically had to endure winter like a whole month, this video speaks to my heart.
Go with yourself.
