Darius | Soundcloud

This morning, Majestic Casual got premiering rights for Darius’s new remix of Bondax. Lucky bastards. Ever since Terence put Cherokee on the backburner, he’s consistently given French House aficionados music to drool over. His productions always manage to mentally take you away from where you are; they just simply put you at ease. This release is no different. Combine the textbook Darius funk with Bondax’s soulful vocal choice, and you got yourself a song of the summer. Check it out below along with some extra essentials after the jump.

Bondax – All I See (Darius Remix)

Darius – Hot Hands

Daft Punk – Something About Us (Cherokee Remix)

Darius – Vanyll


Slow Magic | Soundcloud | PreOrder Album

The fusing of genres becoming even more common place in electronic music nowadays brings many new sounds to the game. That’s not to say this is easy to do. Some more electronic; more indie. Others a little too experimental; or the sounds just don’t mesh. Slow Magic has found a happy medium between catchy beats, creative sampling, soulful pianos, and uplifting synths, all wrapped into a glorious package of new music.

With his debut album How To Run Away (set to release on September 9th via Downtown Records), comes two singles that show a lot of promise. His range of dreamy vibes to groovy, powerful rhythms can’t go unmentioned. The dude has got some serious remix value as well. Check the tunes below and his tour dates after the jump.

The Do Lab | Tickets

The Do Lab has been taking over the LA underground scene this year and we’re all about it. They’ve consistently brought out big names of the underground. Tomorrow night, they’ll be hosting two artists that have been keeping our ears happy for the past year. They come from somewhat opposite sides of the sound spectrum; but that just means it’ll be a great ride of a night. And there’s going to be a Super moon highlighting the fun!

Disco house by Mighty Mouse and deeper tech selections from Option4 will be blasting all night at King King. You should be there, especially cause tickets are super cheap for this kind of quality. Be sure to catch that big orb in the night sky too!

SPOON

After SPOON went to their Facebook to post a cover photo with the words ‘R.I.P.’, I wasn’t sure how to interpret it. I refused to believe that they were breaking up. One of Americas finest rock bands calling it quits? No way. After impatiently waiting, we were pleased to find out their upcoming album They Want My Soul would see its release date on August 5th. And the single will be aptly named Rent I Pay…alright. Thanks Yoda. I mean, I’ll take it. The song has just the raw and grit they’ve always been keen to deliver. Simple. Effective. Spoon. Listen below.
