Curtis Jones (aka Green Velvet, aka Cajmere) will be donning his Cajmere moniker to ‘jack’ up Yuma on Saturday. His album Too Underground for the Mainstage kicked up a storm in the Chicago and Tech House scene in 2013. His classic: ‘Coffee Pot (It’s Time for the Percolator)’ – and remix by Jamie Jones – caught our ear in quite a few sets over the year, and for good reason. Catch us in the pit.

RAC | Buy Don’t Talk To

Remember when we saw RAC on their first live tour? We do; unforgettable. The mystery song that had the room swooning to Karl Kling on vox has finally surfaced and it’s bringing back great memories. It’ll be on their 2-part LP, Strangers, due in full early April. For now, it’s a free download.

Lightning In A Bottle | Rush-N-Get-Em

While we may be new to the family, we know a good thing when we see it. The experience we had at The Do LaB’s 2013 Lightning in a Bottle music and arts festival changed our lives for the better. We didn’t experience the shady authorities first-hand but it appears it was enough for The Do LaB to find a new location for one of our favourite festivals. LIB 2014 will be taking place at the beautiful San Antonio Recreation Area in Bradley, CA.

Yumi Zouma

The romantic and dreamy disco-pop escape that is Yumi Zouma is only augmented by the leafy vocals of Kim Pflaum. This weekend, we’ll find ourselves coasting highways beneath clear skies, a cool breeze skirting through our hair as the sun kisses our bare skin. With Yumi Zouma on repeat, the journey is the destination.

Get their self-titled EP out on 2.11 through CASCINE.

Giraffage

Our boy Giraffage just took the game up a notch with 9 free, and absolutely steamy, tracks. He layers his signature chill-hop sound on top of The-Dream’s Love Hate. All we got is love for this.

Blackedout

I float through the bass.
Clutched by the warmth of her pitch.
We are lost, but alive.

Vessel will be on Blackedout’s forthcoming EP. ‘Til then, stay hazy.

70/77 Days

The Casablancas croon of lead singer Matt Hitt and the 80’s indie-punk jangle of New York quartet Drowners will set you up proper for your Saturday. Their music is all about the rebellious teenage years of running away, making mistakes, and pushing the limits. Who are we kidding; we’re still doing that. Here’s to music about living, we guess.

Their self-titled LP was just released and its a doozy. Listen up and then come dance with us in April.
