Cazzette - Sleepless

Today I heard for the first time the latest and greatest from the Swedish DJ duo that Avicii and his manager brought to light a few years ago known as Cazzette. Since their last album came out we haven't heard much from these still relatively fresh faces. Now they are back with an all new sound for their latest single Sleepless.

Cazzette was typically known for their high energy electro house with occasional flashes of some dirty dubstep breakdowns, especially with their plethora of remixes released on their SoundCloud back in 2012. For 2014 they have shifted with the times, and incorporated some deep house elements as this genre begins to gain some massive traction throughout the US dance music community. This new track reinforces the belief that artists should experiment with new sounds and try new things. Us as fans love when artists deviate from the norm. It reminds me of when Dillon Francis put out Without You. Much to the fans surprise, although the song strayed drastically from his previous music, it became one of his most universally loved songs to date.

The first thing that stands out about Sleepless are the vocals, courtesy of The High. They set the mood of the song and put you in the right frame of mind to truly enjoy the funky beats. All in all, Cazzette knocked this one out of the park. I hope to hear more music like this from them in the future. Check out Sleepless below!

MØ - No Mythologies To Follow (LP)

MØ burst onto the scene last year with the help of Diplo and his label Mad Decent, and has since been fast tracked into the limelight. Today marks the release of her debut album, No Mythologies To Follow, and it has the blogosphere all atwitter.

MØ is a Danish singer/songwriter that has been working her way into our headphones since 2012. She released a slew of singles that gained her solid traction in the Netherlands, including Maiden, Glass and Pilgrim. Her work on those tracks then garnered her some international attention, most notably from Ash Pournouri, Avicii's famous manager. Fun fact: MØ is actually the vocalist on Dear Boy which was featured on Avicii's 2013 album, True. After that fortunate feature, Diplo teamed up with her to release XXX 88, which is the lead single off of NMTF. Check out the video for the single below.

Now I will move on to the songs that peaked my interest the most off the album. First there was Slow Love. It had the kind of beat that has been tickling my fancy lately. The slower tempo house beat and the reverb soaked vocals pair perfectly together for this laid back jam. Check it out below.

I also really liked her song Dummy Head. I like the minimal beat and the use of guitar. This album has such an awesome range of beats used, and MØ knocks the vocals out of the park on each track. Groove to Dummy Head below.

The last track I want to cover is the one that I think lets her vocals shine the most. When she sings on Dust Is Gone, the beat takes the back seat for most of the track so her voice takes center stage. I love the lyrics and her delivery is captivating. Check out the softer side of MØ on Dust Is Gone below.

Check out the rest of the album on Spotify, as their are 12 other solid tracks that you haven't heard yet!

Enjoy! <3
