Ghost Loft & Twice As Nice Remix

 
RISING VISIONARY
GHOST LOFT
TEAMS UP WITH TWICE AS NICE
FOR REMIX OF BUZZED ABOUT SINGLE “SECONDS”
EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE VIA BLAH BLAH BLAH SCIENCE
 
 
 
“Seconds” Spent Three Consecutive Days On Hype Machine’s Popular Chart As #1
SINGLE & VIDEO FOR ORIGINAL TRACK PREMIERED
EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH PIGEONS AND PLANES
Ghost Loft is back this week with a REMIX of his buzzed about single “Seconds” from LA-based/Australian Born production duo, Twice As Nice. Blah Blah Blah Science exclusively premiered this killer track and Ghost Loft is offering it up for free download and/or stream.
Ghost Loft’s breathtaking single and video for the original track of “Seconds” premiered exclusively through Pigeons & Planes. The site raved about the track: “The production has a bounce to it, but it’s a dark bounce, and with the Burial-type vocals on the chorus, the track takes on a cold tone despite the handclaps and hummable melody. In 2013, there’s certainly a place for gloomy-but-catchy pop, and Ghost Loft is doing it right.”
 
“The slow and sensual r&b track with a hip-hop background rhythm is enhanced by directors Daniel Iglesias Jr & Zack Sekuler ‘Ends’ which I think capture quite effectively the soothing love relationship between Choi and his distant lover,” says Crack In The Road of the song and video.
“Seconds” is on the rise.  The single spent three consecutive days at #1 on Hype Machine’s Popular Charts.  In addition, tastemaker Mark Ronson included “Seconds” in his latest FABRICLIVE MIX.
LA-based Danny Choi, the visionary behind Ghost Lost has remixed for rising acts, The Neighbourhood (“Let It Go” remix featured on Pigeons & Planes) & Icky Blossoms (“Heat Lightning” remix featured on The Fader).
Ghost Lost will release his highly anticipated debut EP later this year.

Laura Welsh’s “Unravel”

Continuing our infatuation with silky-voiced chanteuses, we’ve fallen head over heels for Laura Welsh. The track “Unravel” was produced by Dev Hynes, who works much of the same magic he does with Solange Knowles — it’s smooth, fragile and impossible not to listen to on repeat. The husky voiced Welsh sells the song impeccably, reminding us of the impossible suaveness of Jessie Ware and Solange all rolled up into one. Listen to the track above and then go over to Laura Welsh’sFacebook page for a free download.

Lady Lamb The Beekeeper’s – Rooftop

LADY LAMB THE BEEKEEPERS RIPELY PINE

Aly Spaltro of Lady Lamb the Beekeeper has taken a mighty interesting path to where she is now as a musician. She hails from Brunswick, Maine, where she first started to write songs. Her strange and tangential melodies initially took form in the midst of a movie rental shop where she worked. Every night, she would lock the doors, pull out her guitar, and spend hours coming up with wildly unique songs, slowly creating a musical personality for herself. Its moniker very appropriately came to her during sleep; seeing it written down next to her bed the following morning, she knew it fit. Over her first five years of maturing as a musician, she recorded five full-length albums’ worth of songs — all strikingly raw, honest, and uninhibited. Today, Lady Lamb begins a new chapter with the release of her first studio-recorded album, Ripely Pine.
