Firestone

... no not like the tire company, but more like Kygo has been on fucking fire... musically, and let's be honest, physically because he's smoking. Does it get any better than a gorgeous Norwegian DJ who posts Instagram videos of himself playing piano? Ugh, no, it does not. Looks aside, it is always interesting to hear a DJ's first original mix when they normally stick to remixing tracks. In some cases (ahem....The Chainsmokers, RE: Selfie, Kanye, and Polkadots), I have mixed feelings... but Kygo pretty much kills this first attempt at original material. I was unsure at first about the powerful voice of Conrad (don't know who that is) in this track but, the somberness of it balances well with Kygo's classic (or klassic, idk) upbeat rhythms and synth. Keep it up and stay beautiful, Kygo.

Tuesday (Remix)

This is so annoying of me, but I've been waiting like 4 Tuesdays to post this because I refuse to post it on any other day but a Tuesday. Hopefully you will benefit from that and turn up to this boss remix by Coucheron tonight, maybe not in an actual club, but like at least couch or bed club goin up (that's what I'm doing, evidently). The original is obviously a little old at this point but it's all so bizarre that I just can't deny loving it. Coucheron puts a fabulous electronic/disco touch on it and retracts some of the original's redundancy (b/c I'm choosy...bye).

September (Cover)

If only it was September again so that this would be more relevant (I look forward to the night of the 21st every year) but this cover is short and sweet and perfect. It's brimming with soul and does not let down its predecessor. Solid production and sound from J Tropic, and I suggest that you check out his other tracks on his soundcloud. ("Solid Gold" is my favorite, I think, and seems to be inspired by Disclosure in every good way).

Good Life (CD & Miskeyz Remix)

I've been listening to this remix for about a month now and keep finding my way back to it. Kanye clearly was welcoming himself to the good life with no intention of looking back... but like who doesn't miss the old Kanye. This mix of classic pre-Kim Kanye is spectacular and exudes all the perfect vibes. Also side note, who forgot about T-Pain like me? Remember that stupid app that came out to autotune your voice? Did anyone else catch his amazing Tiny Desk Concert at NPR??? Like ok T-Pain, it's pretty reassuring to know you're a real musician. Sorry for rambling, listen to this fuego remix right here.

Fais Rien

Wow, okay. I never thought I would hear a song condoning one of my favorite activities, that is, to do nothing, which is the meaning of this track's title. (I guess my French proficiency helps sometimes...)  The majestical Moi je (= me I [?]) hails from Lyon, France, one of my favorite cities. But anyways this upbeat bippity boppity tune is perfect for my everyday lazy day lifestyle, which, yes, I know, won't last. But I'm certainly enjoying it while I can! Fais rien, all day, every day.
