SONG OF THE DAY: LA Riots ft Ineabell – Let You Go

Oftentimes a singer gets a track, writes a topline, and the song is done with little interaction between the people involved. Sometimes these songs work and other times they feel like an off-key mashup. On the other hand, whenever Ineabell does a song, there seems to be a real collaboration where the final song has elements of everyone involved. You can hear the eerie prettiness of Ineabell in her songs with Beckwith (Higher/No Time To Waste) and Junior Sanchez (Alive at Night). With “Let You Go,” you hear the sounds of LA Riots with a progressive track that has a bit of noise and a modern rock influence, melded with that nearly trademark sound of Ineabell that softens it yet makes more powerful. The final song is fully realized and could go pop if promoted in that direction. It would definitely fit an emotionally climactic part of a movie or tv show.

SONG OF THE DAY (SUNDAY FUNDAY): Mr Collipark & Meaux Green ft DPK – No Discrimination

The genres continue to collide as hip-hop and EDM merge even further. Mr. Collipark (a/k/a DJ Smurf) is best known for signing Soulja Boy and his massive hits with Ying Yang Twins (“Wait”) and Bubba Sparxx (“Ms. New Booty”). Together with Dim Mak producer Meaux Green, they unleash “No Discrimination,” a full-on party trap anthem made for twerking. Starting with a big old hook that sounds like it was taken from a vintage ’60s soul record is quite a nice way to frame the track. The message of the lyrics makes it more universal – encouraging people from all races to come together. While you might not be thinking of that as you are shaking your ass and sweating at the club, the sentiment is still quite nice. Remixes by Mr Hanky, Basscrooks, and DJ Roonie G will fit any DJ rocking urban-leaning clubs.

SONG OF THE DAY: Lupe Fuentes – So High

Picture this, walking into a WMC party with sexy house music playing and looking up at the booth to barely see just the top of someone’s head. That was my my first introduction to the lovely and petite fireball Lupe Fuentes, who was rocking the Brobot party at the SLS hotel. Her set was a danceable mix of grooves, nu-House, funk, and progressive which blended a respect for classic house with a modern 2014 feel. Her new track “So High” fits that description as well. The classic synths from Lil’ Louis and David Morales productions, with a vocal sample that could be from a ’90s house anthem are blended into a sexy, chilled (but not subdued) track that works for the dancefloor but isn’t so aggressive that it can’t be enjoyed at a lounge or pre-bar. It is that brilliant mix of classic and “fewcha,” as Junior Sanchez says, which makes it no surprise why he signed Lupe to his label Brobot. Watch out for Lupe Fuentes, she is definitely a DJ/producer with a special talent.
