Hotel Garuda – One Reason (feat. Imad Royal & Kiah Victoria) [SNBRN Remix]

It’s only fitting that I’m re-uping the blog after a 1-year hiatus with this track. This has been the soundtrack to my life for the past months. The way I found it was pretty awesome too. I first discovered it on my birthday, 12/8/2018, two years ago. Didn’t listen to it much. I was prepping for a DJ set and re-stumbled upon this gold and it has been on repeat since…

I love when songs make their way back to you when you need them most.

Happy / ever after / is what we thought

Alec Benjamin – Let Me Down Slowly (Eastern Odyssey Remix)

This one really got me for a while. It resurfaced for me tonight and it feels right. Give it a spin.

RÜFÜS DU SOL – No Place (Will Clarke Remix)

Talk about a remix that will take you higher. Do you ever have those days where you discover a beauty of a jam in the a.m. and it’s on repeat until the p.m. and beyond? I love those days. This jam has been the soundtrack of my day from the coffee shop, to work, to the gym, and to sleep. I wonder if it strikes you the way it strikes me?

Pour another one out for RÜFÜS DU SOL. ❤ You surprised?

NoNoNo – Pumpin’ Blood (Franne Edit)

How can you not with this one… This is one of those songs that you can put on and there’s not a person in the room who doesn’t feel something. Try it. ❤

Gryffin Flight Log 001 – End Of Summer Mix

T-3 weeks until the Gryffin concert. I have steadily been encountering some golden Gryffin jams (mostly remixes) since I arrived in Seattle. This mix came up on my SoundCloud shuffle this morning and it hits a good amount of the jams I am referencing and more. Kick off your week with this, or keep it bumping through your week as I probably will.

Like lightning in a bottle

The Magician – Magic Tape 47

This mix was on repeat for two years. I remember when I discovered it in 2014, and the rest is history. When I like something, I don’t just like it. I LOVE it. And I will obsess and repeat and repeat again. Get familiar with this Magic Tape, and keep an ear from 16:30 if you want to hear where my heartbeat really begins…. If you know you know.

RÜFÜS/RÜFÜS DU SOL – Say A Prayer For Me

I’ve started realizing that when I meet new people, they pretty quickly become subjected to my current music obsession. RÜFÜS for example. In the past 2 weeks, I can think of 3 random people I’ve met that have been sent some RÜFÜS to check out. It’s kinda hilarious. But I do see it as a benefit for them because I’m pretty certain they would never have encountered these treasures in their lifetime otherwise.

The best part about this version is that it’s a slight twist on the intro from the original. And if you’re not listening closely enough, you will miss it. If you catch it, you’re my heartbeat. ❤

Gnash – I Hate U I Love U (feat. Olivia O´Brien) (stalbr Remix)

This remix has a lot of meaning for me. The lyrics + the beat. It’s a completely different feel from the original and effectively a different song. Still not over it no matter how many times it plays, and the best is when it comes up on shuffle like it did tonight. Perhaps you hear a song at exactly the moment you need to.

LATE DESERT (CHONIES OFF REMIX) – FOALS & RÜFÜS

In honor of officially locking down my Coachella ticket today, I give you RÜFÜS DU SOL. But not just any song the gen. pop. could get on Spotify. I’m all about the underground remixes in the dark, dusty corners of SoundCloud, where I’m lost in a deep rabbit hole of one jam that led to another, and then I hear something that rocks me just a little bit more that it causes me to look twice…. See if you can keep up. 🙂
