[SONG OF THE DAY] The Goods - "Let's Roll (feat. Touch Sensitive)"

We know I’ve been scrambling to assemble the sounds of the summer for this year but imma need to take a minute with this latest track from Sydney trio The Goods because good fucking Lorde this is so damn smoooooooove.

Building on their reputation for funky synth-stacked jams, the fellas enlisted my #1 professional nu-disco crush, none other than Touch Sensitive, for their follow up to last year’s Make Your Move EP. “Let’s Roll” is one of those songs that your brain will wander to when you’re looking back on a perfect night out. It’s a song that when it comes on you’re going to find yourself unable to hold still. Even if you’re sitting on a crowded subway train you’re always gonna realize that your shoulders are bouncing just a bit. It sounds like every incredible night I’ve ever had. You know those nights that started off all unassuming and ended up at a really amazing place where everything just felt perfect? Yeah, they bottled that. I don’t know how, but they did.

Literally me rn listening to this song:

Y’all are you ready to strap in with me and The Goods? I can tell already it’s gonna be a good fucking summer.

And this is gonna be the soundtrack to every last good vibe.

VIBE OCLOCK ON NEW MUSIC FRIDAYYYYYYYYYY!

On the heels of his Corazón EP dropping today, Vancouver born turned recent Los Angeles resident Pat Lok has preemptively shared a cut from the EP, “Fearless” featuring Essex soul singer Luke Burr. The song is a lovely little motivational moment both for us and Pat himself. “In my weaker moments, I often compare my life path to the friends and family I left behind in Canada, and wonder if I'm doing the right thing,” Pat shares speaking on the track, “so this is sort of me in the mirror saying get off your butt. It can be difficult for others to believe in you if you don't believe in yourself first and I hope this might reach anyone else out there who needs to hear it.”

Twitter fam so wise with the heartfelt advice! We loveee!

Go have a listen to the rest of Corazón, dude has delivered a deluge of bops yet again. Bravo, homey!

[WATCH] Brit Daniels - "Deja Vu (Official Video)"

Nashville area pop artist Brit Daniels has unveiled the video for her most recent single, “Deja Vu”, a song that delves into the trials and tribulations of modern dating culture. After going through yet another failed attempt at a relationship, Daniels was inspired to get in touch with her feelings and explore what went wrong. Through writing the song, Daniels realized all the red flags she ignored and noticed a pattern in her dating life. The accompanying video reflects it in a minimally powerful way by repeatedly showcasing a handful of scenes throughout.

Looking forward to hearing more of what the singer-songwriter has in store in the coming months. For now I plan getting better acquainted with her previous releases.

[SONG OF THE DAY] LUXXURY - "Change Yr Mind (feat. Adeline)"

Los Angeles producer LUXXURY has teamed up with New York soul/funk singer Adeline for a bi-coastal sun drenched nu-disco bop “Change Yr Mind”. If you’ve been on the hunt for something sexy to saunter poolside to all summer, this is certainly an option. With grooving baselines, glistening synths, and Adeline’s breathy vocals on this track, it’s a sure fire way to beat the heat.

I should note that both have a fair amount of back catalog that’s worth digging around in. I actually need to spend time with Adeline’s self-titled debut LP, I thoroughly loved “Before” (as seen on diSKOAver weekly and now it’s archive).

[SONG OF THE DAY] austenyo - "Commercial"

We got a new friend at the party, everyone!

Fam, please meet Detroit newcomer austenyo, who has just been added to my list of baby bands to keep a close eye on. Born Austen Scheer, he’s been releasing music under the playful moniker for a little over a year now, which were initially part of his Senior Individualized Project at Kalamazoo College.

His latest single, “Commercial” is a perfect blend of effortlessly catchy alt-pop to compliment all of your impending blissful sunny summer days. The track follows previous singles, “Off-Kilter” and “Backup Generator”, that are from his forthcoming debut full-length album, minialbum, which is due out this July. The video, as seems to be a reoccurring theme for the project, is proof that little to no budget for videos isn’t as important as it is to be painfully clever. It’s as much of a performance piece to showcase Scheer’s playfulness as it is a literal commercial to sell his latest batch of merch and to get you to interact with his text bot, “austenbot”. You can tell with his unassuming and mostly improvisational approach to music making that Scheer is serious about not taking himself too seriously, which I find to be incredibly refreshing.

You can expect more on this guy in the coming weeks, TRUST.

[SONG OF THE DAY] HEDEGAARD - "STRESSIN"

Dutch DJ HEDEGAARD is back with a followup to his well loved single "SA-MY-D” with another heavy hit, “STRESSIN”, an anthemic dance number that you probably have a decent idea what the subject matter entails given the name. Dude has been going progressively heavier with these newer single since he dropped his Oblivion EP that was super high end club friendly. It’s clear that his aim is to claim as many dance floors as he can muster and tbh he’s doing a damn good job of that.

[SONG OF THE DAY] Slum Sociable - "Life Is Free"

Yesterday the beloved Slum fam have graced us with their presence for the first time this year with a new song, “Life Is Free” and the oh so delightful news that they’ll be releasing an EP titled L.I.F. on August 2nd. Speaking on the track, the band shares, "'Life Is Free' was called that because, it isn't. The second line of the song points that out; "how can I say that knowingly". It’s about noticing how valuable a resource like time is, how you use it with the people in your life, how other people who might not have it as good as you use it, and ultimately trying to use it for good."

Tell you what man, so glad these guys took as much time as they needed into investing into themselves and their mental health because they have so many wonderful things on their heart to share with the world.

PS - ICYMI recently the guys stopped by triple j for a Like A Version session where they covered Mark Ronson and The Business International’s popular track “Somebody To Love Me”. Singer Miller Upchurch really owned the shit out the song, I found his performance of an already emotional song to be very moving. Dare I say Boy George and Andrew Wyatt (who originally sang on the track) would be thoroughly impressed and even a little intimidated by it, that’s how much I enjoyed it. So yeah, def go have a look and listen at that.

YAYYYY the boys are back in town! The. Boys. Are. Back. In. Town!!!!!
