RAC - Strangers Part 1

I have been waiting for RAC to finally come out with Strangers Part 1 for a long time now, and it is even better than I could have hoped!


RAC has managed to craft his own unique sound and style that sets him a part from your typical electronic music producer. All of his tracks feel like house music, but sound like they are made using only live instruments. Also, not only are his productions on point, but so are his features. He brings along some amazing friends on his tracks, like Alex Ebert (from Edward Shapre & the Magnetic Zeros), Tegan and Sara, Penguin Prison, Tokyo Police Club, Body Language, MNDR and Kele.

Strangers Part 1 carries over three tracks from his previous EP, including: Let Go, Hollywood and Tourist. Let Go is amazing. I have had that on all my playlists for months. If you need a refresher, check it out below!



My favorite new song from the album is definitely Tear You Down which features Alex Ebert. I love Alex's voice, and the fact that RAC was able to get him on a track makes me love RAC that much more! Such a feel good tune.


The other track that peaked my interest is actually the one track most people might skip over, as it serves more as an interlude than a song. Cells shows how much RAC has progressed in his production ability and it adds that different element to the album that helps make Strangers Part 1 more unique and interesting.

Check out the entire album on the Audible Twilight Spotify Playlist!

Enjoy! <3

Chordashian

I am still undecided on whether I like producers names that resemble celebrity names or not.. I have seen Lindsay Lowend, Com Truise, and now.. Chordashian. They do always seem to make great music though, so I guess I can't complain! If they keep pumping out quality material, then keep the silly homages coming!


The music these two New Yorkers make is exactly the kind of music I am into right now. They have a similar sound to Goldroom; who, as you all know, is my biggest producer man crush right now. I love the chill house-y vibes all of their music has. It is perfect for a cool pool party or just waking up in the morning with a smile on. Their most popular track to date is called Skyscraper Souls featuring vocals from Freedom Fry. This track is super bouncy and upbeat and makes me want to boogie! Check it out below



Their latest track, Keep On, has more of that old school house sound, with those keys that take you straight to a 12 hour beach party in Ibiza. It is one of those songs that can keep any party going, even in it was looped for 20 minutes straight. Check it out below and grab the free download on their SoundCloud!



The last track I wanted to share with you all was a great remix of theirs. I should have figured they had a remix to this, because its so perfect. It is the first track they posted on their SoundCloud two years ago, and it's still one of my favorite Chordashian tracks. Check out their remix of Penguin Prison's Don't Fuck With My Money below!



Check them out on Facebook to stay up on any new releases or remixes they post!

Enjoy! <3
