LA Riots and Hi Deaf – Rewind feat. Jessie Malakouti (Original Mix) [Preview]
LA Riots teams up with fellow Los Angeles producer Hi Deaf to create "Rewind," a rousing vocally driven electro house outing featuring the sinewy vocal styling of newcomer Jessie Malakouti. Another sound cut from LA Riots, "Rewind" opens powerfully with an anthemic top line and driving synthwork before it deceptively changes gears, dropping into a Dutch-tinged breakdown complete with high-octane horn blasts that kick you in the seat of your pants. Another track poised to define the festival season, "Reason" will be released later this summer, smack dab in the middle of the jam-packed festival season.
Annie Mac delivers Christmas Mixes from The xx and Jessie Ware
Last night on her Sunday show "Musical Hot Water Bottle," Annie Mac delivered two Christmas mixes from The xx and Jessie Ware. The mixes diverge a bit outside of our usually upbeat and dominantly electronic realm, but we think they're pretty perfect to sneakily put on the stereo while the family sits around drinking too much Bailey's and eating too many Christmas cookies. Merry Christmas!
