Scary Pockets – “It’s Your Thing”

When Scary Pockets joined our roster back in March it seemed less like an artist signing than a full-on enterprise level partnership. The band is like a well-oiled machine, relentlessly cranking out a new cover every week accompanied by a professionally filmed live video posted to their highly successful YouTube channel. Their massive catalog has single-handedly more than tripled our covers library, opening up some excellent opportunities for us to work on productions requiring a degree of recognizability. This week Scary Pockets released a new cover of one of our all-time favorites, the Isley Brothers classic “It’s Your Thing”. This isn’t so much of a reinterpretation as it is a gender flip, with the fabulous Brooke Simpson absolutely crushing it on vocals. Scary Pockets is comprised of two core members, musicians Ryan Lerman (John Legend, Michael Buble, Ben Folds) and Jack Conte (Pomplamoose, CEO of Patreon), featuring some of LA’s […]

Dan Berk – “Ghost Stories”

Dan Berk is a bit obsessive, which might actually be his secret weapon. As a child, his deep love for acoustic cover artists like Leroy Sanchez, Megan Davies, Boyce Avenue and Emma Heesters led him to start over-analyzing every detail of the craft. He soon found himself cracking the code to the perfect acoustic cover and set out to begin recording his own. Starting in 2018, Dan released a steady string of acoustic covers that quickly racked up well over 100 million streams on Spotify. These covers seemed to resonate deeply with the Gen Z crowd who found comfort in his emotional renditions of songs like “Solo”, “Burn”, “Hey Brother” and “Ruin My Life”. Now with a devoted fan base of 1.1 million Spotify monthly listeners, Dan Berk is moving into the next phase of his career by finding his own voice as an artist. This past week he debuted […]

YONAS – “Fuego”

Back with a brand new single “Fuego”, Bronx native YONAS brings back the 🔥 once again. For the past decade YONAS has been consistently putting out some of the best underground hip hop records you’ll find anywhere. During that time he’s racked up over half a billion combined streams and sales (man, remember when people used to actually buy records?), put out collabs with artists like Logic and Cherub, and shared the stage with Macklemore, Kendrick Lamar and Schoolboy Q. Standing on the shoulders of thought leaders like Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Big L, Immortal Technique, Common, and Lauryn Hill, YONAS aims to challenge the mind while still bringing good vibes. His music is thought provoking, highly polished and straight up hooky as hell. These attributes are sadly in short supply these days. “It’s crazy because the song is almost written in parts like a piece of classical music. The […]

Rush Midnight – “Wine & Summertime”

Here in Brooklyn this time of year is a big deal, it’s when we finally get to enjoy our first taste of warm and breezy weather. And after the brutal COVID winter, it’s all the more special to finally be able to get outside and bask in the sun! This feeling isn’t lost on native New Yorker turned L.A. music supervisor Russell Manning, aka Rush Midnight, whose new single “Wine & Summertime” is the perfect soundtrack to getting back to enjoying the simple things in life. The second single off his upcoming album “Delilah”, the song is dreamy, sensual and subtly funky. Somewhat reminiscent of Tame Impala, “Wine & Summertime” strikes a balance between retro and futuristic depending on the perspective of the listener. As you might expect from a band led by an Oberlin-trained jazz bassist, Rush Midnight’s music is centered around Manning’s flawless melodic basslines. With less emphasis […]

DirtySnatcha – “Snatched, Vol 2”

So like, who hasn’t been snatched by aliens at some point in their life? It’s a huge problem. But when you see those little bug-eyed extraterrestrials coming down at you, there’s only one thing to do. Blast them out of the sky with that BASS! UK producer DirtySnatcha has you covered with subsonic blasts from his new EP “Snatched, Vol 2”. The five song EP opens up with the massive track “Alien Shit” featuring Detroit rapper Chase The Dream, which is admittedly far too filthy for network television. Looking at you though, Netflix. Sup? Organically building his following through collaborations with artists such as Riot Ten (Dim Mak), Rico Act, Boogie T, Lucii, and Monxx, DirtySnatcha has made a name for himself as a premier producer and remixer in the bass community. With his own independent label and several million streams across platforms, he’s surely responsible for neck injuries to […]

Beth Crowley – “Storm Chaser”

We all have regrets, and from time to time our mind wanders to what might have been had we made different choices.

It’s this concept that Beth Crowley contemplates in her poignant new single “Storm Chaser”. For over a decade, Nashville singer-songwriter Beth Crowley has been writing and recording songs inspired by Young Adult Novels such as Dark Artifices, Divergent, The Lunar Chronicles, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, The Fault in Our Stars and Shatter Me.

Blayne B. – “Alright”

One of the best things about working with indie artists nowadays is that the internet has all but shattered the paradigm that brilliant artists are only found in major cities. The truth is there is incredible art being made everywhere, and it’s inspiring to live in a time where you can write a song and get it out to the world with little more than a laptop. 22-year-old Blayne B. lives in Great Bend, a small town in Kansas with a population of just under 16,000. Releasing his first single at just 12 years old, he’s spent the past decade prolifically writing songs exploring themes of intimacy, identity, anxiety, substance abuse, and depression. Equally adept at both rapping and singing and with a talent for melody far beyond his years, Blayne’s music doesn’t fit neatly into any one genre. But the raw emotion in his songwriting is universal and undeniable. […]

Nate Rose – “By Myself”

Nate Rose doesn’t need anyone’s help. Seriously, you could throw the prefix “self” in front of just about anything and it would apply: -written, -produced, -mixed, -mastered, -released, -managed-, -promoted, -published, -incorporated, and certainly not least of all -confident. In his newest release “By Myself”, this dapper rapper vents some steam while also bragging on his personal drive, determination, work ethic, and DIY attitude: “I originally made this beat for Gunna, but he passed on it. Rediscovered it one day while sifting through beats and at the time I was feeling really sour about a few individuals I had been doing business with. In that headspace of anger I felt inclined to write a reminder of how I came to build my career over the years doing all my own production, writing, recording, mixing & mastering, graphics, video production, marketing etc.” All that hard work has truly paid off, with […]

Laura Marano – “Something To Believe In”

You may know Laura Marano as the introverted and awkward songwriter Ally Dawson from Disney’s Austin & Ally, or perhaps in her role opposite Robert DeNiro, Christopher Walken and Uma Thurman in the family comedy, The War With Grandpa. But when she’s not busy starring in Hollywood films, Laura is in the studio writing and recording her own original songs. With an impressive 200+ million streams across all DSP’s, Laura has managed to build and maintain two successful careers in parallel. With the release of her second EP entitled “You”, the song “Something To Believe In” has emerged as a fan favorite, resonating on many levels with those facing struggles during this difficult time. “At its core, “Something to Believe In” is about being in a seemingly dark, hopeless place, only to have someone help you find the light. I wrote this song a few years ago, but it was […]
