Vulfpeck – Back Pocket (Cupidon Edit) 

via GIPHY

Cupidon did another magnifique edit of Vulpeck’s ‘Back Pocket’ from 2015. And yes – they just polished it up to bring it on the dancefloor. A bit more tempo and future beats but still keepin the soul in it. I like mucho :) Especially today when most releases only conform to any streaming corsetts and attest the overall cultural oatmeal I am bored to death by now. This one is different and an instant refresher to your senses. Shoyu and Golow, the handsome guys behind the Duo ‘Cupidon’, don’t just hack some beats into their laptops and you can feel by the intuitive flow of their tracks that these guys play actual music on their turntables for actual real people in real clubs on weekends. Like their very first official release ‘Be the One’ that climbed up Spotify USA’s & Canada’s Viral Chart as a total newcomer in 2017 this Edit is for the Kaytranada lovers out there. It reminds me of some sweet summer dj sessions I had with our mutual friend Marki and envision him banging his head while me shaking the hips. Add it to your warm up DJ Set or your ‘dancing in the kitchen’ playlist – it’s tested succesfully everyone will start dancing by this one ;)

Two faced – Max Keeble

Good mood and relax mode, everyone knows these two worlds. This song combines the two best emotional worlds perfectly in one song, directly into your ear canal. The perfect track to start the after-hour!

 

Deep End by ShelBee 

I heard this tune the very first time a few weeks ago and instantly liked it, not only bc of it’s sparse use of instrumentation but mostly bc of Shel Bees phrasing, intonation and the way she delivers the top lines. A seriously good singer in the making, with an honest voice that needs more attention on the streaming world of today. That’s why i sent it off to our team to work and release the track. While i am currently on vacation i think the signing is on the way and we can look at pitching it properly when the summers over and all the streaming offices and bureaus are all back to business as usual. Won’t be earlier than mid to late September sadly, but no worries, a good solid tune takes longer to grow these days. And even longer for an artist to finally break into the mainstream. Consistency is key in releases, and if one or two do not work make sure to keep on keeping on. I am writing this well in mind that Shel Bee might read this, so i just want to encourage young striving acts to maintain the course and not get discouraged if things do not shape up instantly as one would wish. In the long run, they will.

There’s an old Chinese proverb that says : “If you wanna go fast, go alone. But if you wish to go far, go together.” And that’s how is see our relation with this young talent!

Ps i heard one of our most talented young cats, Wolfskind, will be working with you in October in LA. So we went full circle w/o knowing that this would happen, and that it would all stay in the family. Wolfskind aka Lucas is a key producer in our deal with Universal Music and sincerely my adopted son (musically), whom you will have lots of fun with ;)
