Astari Nite :: Engagement Ceremony (Premiere)

Miami dark wave band Astari Nite sent us their new single "Engagement Ceremony" to premiere for you guys from their upcoming second album Until the End of the Moon which is being released on (lucky) Friday the 13th in May. It's a cool dark atmospheric track with a real nice break around the 3:24 mark.

Check out "Engagement Ceremony" below, and if you're in the South Florida area be sure to check out one of their two album release parties (both featuring a Live Performance). First one's on Saturday May the 7th at Respectable Street in West Palm Beach and the second one's on Friday, May the 13th at Kill Your Idol on South Beach. (The latter of which your humble author will also be DJ'ing at, OTR Represent!!!)

Holy Ghost! :: New EP Crime Cutz + Neon Indian/Eli Escobar Remixes

It had been awhile since I heard some new music from NYC nu-disco duo Holy Ghost!, 2013 to be exact. Well today I was happy to get an email saying they will be releasing a new EP Crime Cutz later this week on the 29th of April via their long term label DFA. That definitely brought a smile to my face, especially the remix they sent our way of the title track "Crime Cutz" by Neon Indian. It is 7 1/2 mins of nu-disco heaven that can be played on a continual loop.

Check out that deliciousness below, plus another excellent remix I saw for the same track on their soundcloud by Eli Escobar. Two jams for this lovely weekend. Enjoy!

Bella Luz :: Summer Breeze ft Maryell Epps

Miami's own Bella Luz is getting ready to release a new EP soon. They sent over the first track from it "Summer Breeze" ft Maryell Epps and it is excellent! A solid piece of dark synthpop deliciousness. Gil's vocals are on point and the beats by Jean Espiritusanto and pulsating synths are bumping, like totally jumping out of your speakers. Can't wait to play this out at one of the darker parties I DJ at. It will fit in perfectly.

Check out "Summer Breeze" below and be on the lookout for the video coming soon, plus the rest of that EP which I'm sure will not disappoint. If you live in South Florida I highly recommend catching one (or more) of their live shows. Totally worth it! Next one's on the 28th at Churchill's.
