Nightwave “Wavejumper” EP

Posted on Apr 14th, 2017

Nightwave bosses up on her debut Fool’s Gold EP, Wavejumper. Beloved selector and seasoned UK producer Maya Medvesek has built a peerless rep conjuring what Mixmag calls “pure dance floor euphoria”— a combustible mix of grime, footwork, techno, and anything else with a kickdrum that won’t quit. She’s also been a forceful presence on the international dance scene, calling out sexist Boiler Room trolls and establishing all-girl production workshops in Glasgow. With the powerful, self-assured Wavejumper, Nightwave puts her manifesto for a better body-moving universe into action—a bass utopia where futuristic collabs with Rye Rye, Rell Rock & Chippy Nonstop pop and gyrate alongside wavy, deconstructed club instrumentals that rank among Nightwave’s heaviest work yet. Ravers of the world, unite and take over!

BOSCO “Castles”

Posted on Apr 5th, 2017

BOSCO pulls spring into focus with her yearning new single “Castles.” Whether she’s channeling futuristic R&B (the Boy EP, featured in HBO’s hit Insecure), neon dance vibes (her house-inspired Treasure Fingers collaborations “Names” and “Myne,”) or straight up club bangers (the acclaimed Girls In The Yard mixtape with Speakerfoxxx), BOSCO’s distinct vision always cuts through like nothing else. “Castles” is her latest and sharpest hybrid; backed by ATL duo St. Beauty and a moody, cut up beat from Fool’s Gold label-mate Sammy Bananas, BOSCO weaves a tale of second (and third) chance relationships gone the way of sandcastles in the tide. She turns heartbreaks to hip-shakes… and with an adventurous new EP on the way, we’ll be listening (and dancing) to BOSCO’s stories all year round.

Promnite “Snake Charmer” EP

Posted on Mar 10th, 2017

Promnite is bringing the love back to club music. For all their futuristic thump and sonic precision, the tracks on his Snake Charmer EP are wonderfully, messily human. This Cali-via-NYC producer (and co-founder of LA’s beloved Athletixx DJ collective) eschews run-of-the mill bangers for the bittersweet turn up of “Gunsmoke,” featuring Denzel Curry, Nell, J.K. The Reaper and Twelve’len, and short-story worthy clubland tales on “Ride Around” with Adam Vida; meanwhile, Prom’s smooth stepper “Call Me” with Mark Johns nuzzles up against the space-age trunk rattle of “Cruise’n USA,” featuring LaDonnis. This ain’t no Soundcloud special — Snake Charmer is a four-track dive into life itself, showcasing the collaborative songwriting chops, elevated sound design and always-funky approach that makes Promnite one of the most exciting young producers in the game. Listen now (and pre-order the vinyl!)

Austin Millz “Cyclone”

Posted on Feb 16th, 2017

There’s a ton of history for New York City DJs to live up to, and Austin Millz welcomes the challenge.

Leaf “FWM”

Posted on Feb 14th, 2017

Leaf channels vintage Hollywood glam in the new video for “FWM,” the latest tease from her upcoming Trinity album. She teams up once again with director Matt Cohen, who filmed Leaf’s “Nada” clip with Lil Yachty; this time they trade jeep beats for furs and candlelight, without sacrificing an ounce of fierceness.

Moby “Black Lacquer”

Posted on Feb 10th, 2017

Moby is a true electronic music pioneer. He redefined rave on singles like 1990’s “Go,” then slowed down to explore its aftermath on the multiplatinum Play LP. Decades later, the man is still firing off pointed, personal salvos and dance music curveballs from his LA studio—and, in a most fitting partnership, he’s enlisted Fool’s Gold to remix his iconic catalog on the diverse new Black Lacquer EP. Treasure Fingers, Madeaux, High Klassified, and FG co-founder Nick Catchdubs each put their own spin on Moby hits like “Natural Blues” and “Porcelain,” bouncing from industrial experiments and futuristic techno workouts to late-night house and zooted club bass. Black Lacquer isn’t the Moby you’ve heard before, but a surprising collection that keeps his trailblazing spirit alive.

Rome Fortune “Blicka Blicka”

Posted on Feb 1st, 2017

Rome Fortune kicked off 2017 with a bang, releasing two new collaborations with Toro Y Moi to start the year and promising even more creative output to follow. He follows up in fine style with the music video for “Blicka Blicka,” revisiting a standout track from his deeply personal Jerome Raheem Fortune LP on Fool’s Gold. The Anthony Supreme-directed clip is a surreal slice of Americana, featuring Rome rapping from a dreamlike, decrepit trailer park: This is my intuition / and it says I shouldn’t be pigeonholed / they said that this shit would be difficult / to make it I needed a miracle / but I didn’t, I did it without you / what ‘chu think I would amount to? The video’s avant garde styling is matched by two futuristic, bass-heavy “Blicka Blicka” remixes from LA producers C.Z. (fresh off collabs with Baauer and Nina Las Vegas) and Cy Kosis.
