Take 2 Entertainment | Tickets

Having missed out on Take 2 Entertainment’s christening of Boatylicious on America’s birthday weekend, we had high hopes that a followup concert cruise would surface. As luck would have it, our prayers were answered when the second installment was announced. The team at Take 2 have gathered a crew of premium musicians to help us end our summer right. On a triple decker cruise-liner. Out on the Pacific Ocean. Partying with good people. What more could you want? Check the tunes after the jump:

Private Label | Event Info | Tickets

We’ve been waiting for this finale since Private Label first sent us the summer flyer. It’s nearly time to change gears for fall. Cyril Hahn, Ryan Hemsworth, and Henry Krinkle will be providing this week’s sensual future-R&B vibes to end summer right. All three of these artists are part of the movement into electro-R&B house, and each of them are contenders to the fact that this genre is quickly on the rise. Check the amazing tracks after the jump!

HOW TO ENTER

So girls get to get in free this week, which is cool. Email all names to ali[at]controlaltdelight.com. But…we’ve got five pairs of tickets up for grabs for ANYONE! Which is great because tickets have been selling faster than usual. You could get in free to a sold out show! The contest ends at 5PM on Friday 9/27! Be sure to check twitter and your email, because I will email the first people who respond. GOOD LUCK!

Private Label is back with another season. With school starting soon, there’s no better way to spend a Friday than by decompressing with some music and good vibes. Yeasayer, Star Slinger, and Mystery Skulls will be taking to the stage. Its an eclectic mix that will make this a fine night for music lovers.

HOW TO GET ON THE LIST

After last week’s free guestlist being crazy and not many tickets being sold, we have to restrict for this week. The list is GIRLS ONLY unless you’re a guy that confirms five or more girls. Sorry…some of us have to put bacon on the table. That’s how the saying goes right? Anyway, like this post and Control+Alt+Delight on Facebook, and e-mail names to ali[at]controlaltdelight[dot]com . The guestlist is good all night but I’d recommend getting their around 11 to guarantee entry. Check the tunes after the jump!

Henry Krinkle

Florida’s Henry Krinkle makes aural creations that are necessary for any future house and R&B feel-good session. His most recent remix of Cyril Hahn’s Perfect Form sparked us to share him. He takes the already amazing song and slows it down to a sultry slur, drops some heavy tropical bass on top, and loops the sensual chorus throughout. He turns it into a soundtrack for lush summer-nights that will be on repeat for a while.

Hot Natured | Buy Different Sides of the Sun

The quadruple threat that makes up Hot Natured just released their debut album Different Sides of the Sun. It’s an ambitious blend of modern pop and traditional house. That doesn’t come as a surprise when you consider the men behind the moniker. Each of them powerhouses in their own game; Jamie Jones, Lee Foss, Luca C, and Ali Love joined forces in 2010 with the intentions of bringing skilled electronic production to the poppier-dancehall masses.

Their 2012 track Benediction topped charts all over the UK and highlighted exactly what they had planned. A more recent single, Reverse Skydiving featured the vocals of the lovely Anabel Englund and set the style up for success in the States. Different Sides of the Sun is 15 tracks of simple and catchy soul with fiery passion. The standout tracks prove that this is a music style worth paying attention to.

1-Operate (feat. Kenny Glasgow)
