Our Odesza Interview • Our Slow Magic Interview
Just when I thought life couldn’t get any better, two of my favorite artists come together in a recreation of Slow Magic’s best track. In my opinion at least. They take the already emotional track to a new level that refuses to let me sit still. ODESZA really has that Midas touch when it comes to their remixes. This one is no different. Enjoy friends.

Every year there is a certain producer that really moves me in a special way. Physically, yeah…But emotionally too. Flume in 2012, Kaytranada in 2013, and now Denmark’s Galimatias. The way he produces his tracks so beautifully is instantly captivating. He manages to maintain integrity with everything he touches, while also adding his own style of bouncy energy. I always find listening to his music as an incredibly immersive experience.
He recently released a remix of Justin Timberlake’s “Suit & Tie” that I had been searching for from FKJ’s funky mix. I want to say that I’m surprised it was him, but I’d be lying. It’s so catchy and groovy, AND it rivals Aeroplane’s disco remix from last year. You’ll see just how big of a star Galimatias is when you hear the few tracks he did with the absolutely beautiful voice of Alina Baraz. Scope the tunes below, and keep an eye out for this dude. I’m tellin’ ya!

Hot Since 82 • Preorder Knee Deep In Sound • TICKETS
Inception Saturdays has been on a roll as of late. They continue their hot streak by bringing in the power house that is Daley Padley AKA Hot Since 82. I was looking up his story, and his inception is a funny one. I guess he was DJing an afterparty in Ibiza in 2010 when the sound cut out, so he plugged in his iPod. An unreleased track he was working on came up and the crowd’s response was resounding. He ended up sending that track to Noir Records, and his booming career in the deep house scene began. Pretty cool how things work out, huh? 4 years later, he’s going to be running one of the best house clubs in LA! Check out to win the tickets after the jump.

Ryn Weaver has been slowly making her way into the hearts of hipsters around the world. She’s cute, got an outspoken personality, an amazing voice, AND she knows how to find the right collaborators. On her debut release “Ocatahate” turned the blogging world on its head as she pretty much, as some would say, “came out of nowhere.” I would say she worked long and hard and was patient enough ’til she had a superior product. And with the help of Passion Pit and Cashmere Cat, she found that product. Cashmere Cat took it on to flip the track to make it more….kitty. Peep it and the original below.

RÜFÜS DU SOL | Soundcloud | Buy Atlas | TICKETS
Earlier this year, we had the fortunate pleasure of catching Australia’s RÜFÜS DU SOL at one of their free pop up shows at SXSW. (If you don’t know how the music “festival” SXSW works, direct yourself here.) These electronic wonder-kids made our list of top upcoming acts of 2014 to watch for, and for good reason. Take a bit of Cut Copy, a dash of Jagwar Ma, and a smidge of Classixx and you got yourself a nice RÜFÜS fondue.
These guys are as groovy as they come. Backed by live vocals and a full band, they’re an unmissable act to catch. Lucky for us they have Hermitude opening up, and where better than the Fonda in Hollywood? Check below for your chance to win a couple tickets and after the jump for some tunes. <3

ODESZA | Soundcloud | Buy In Return
Last week I finally had the chance to sit down with Odesza to get in this interview that’s been a year in the making. I tried to catch them right before their tour with Pretty Lights, because I knew the following year was going to be huge for them. It wasn’t until they finally came back to LA in the midst of an enormous sold out tour that we could chat about their past, present, and future. ODESZA a huge inspiration to many artists currently in the scene and very deservedly so. They’re amongst the select few individuals setting the bar for electronic music as far as production and live shows. Catch the details after the jump!
