Nostalgix Drops Gritty Hip-House Track, “Options”
Nostalgix has dropped the latest record from her forthcoming Supah Fly EP, a hip-house collab with Lano Bandz. Out now on Thrive Music, “Options” is a gritty fusion of hip-hop and house music. The track, which features energetic bars courtesy of Bandz, finds Nostalgix producing a rowdy bass house beat. A sinister electric guitar riff kicks things off before the arrangement erupts into a frenzy of menacing bass and metallic synths. “The writing of ‘Options’ was such a fun process,” explains Nostalgix. “It was the first record I made when I moved to Los Angeles. I met Lano Bandz through my friend Wraith, and we immediately had a vibe together. I got Lano to hop in the vocal booth and start freestyling over a fun instrumental I had.” Fans c...

Once Habstrakt’s version was rinsed at countless festivals and clubs, ACRAZE decided to install it as his breakthrough hit’s final—and perhaps most emphatic—official remix.

Moore Kismet Co-Directed Their First-Ever Music Video for “Parallel Heartbreak”: Watch
With a reputation for multidimensional soundscapes, deeply personal lyrics and innovative sonics, it’s no surprise that Moore Kismet‘s debut music video is equally as groundbreaking. Co-directed by Kismet, the visual version of “Parallel Heartbreak” (with Pauline Herr) presents them at their most vulnerable as they navigate the highs and lows of a budding relationship. In fact, the video’s central storyline follows a literal breakdown of their connection when their car breaks down on the side of the road. Luckily, at its climax, they find their way back to each other. “They have feelings for each other, but it seems that everything is keeping them from being together,” Kismet explained in a press release. “They’re afraid...
Moore Kismet Welcomes “Next Chapter” With Stunning Pauline Herr Collab, “Parallel Heartbreak”
“The purpose of my music is to exemplify my truths,” said Moore Kismet in a recent press release. “That’s what my music has always been for me: a way to get my stories and my thoughts out.” And they mean it—at only 17 years old, the prodigious producer is already known for wearing their heart on their sleeve. Now, as they enter a self-proclaimed “next chapter,” it’s clear that this guiding philosophy is here to stay. Kicking off this era is “Parallel Heartbreak” (with Pauline Herr), a fluttering melodic trap ballad which expresses the fear of heartbreak that comes with the embrace of new love. The song dropped today, January 7th, via Thrive Music. “Parallel Heartbreak” begins with a sublime arrangement of plucks, which are s...
ACRAZE Drops Highly Anticipated House Single “Do It To It”: Listen
In 2006, R&B group Cherish released “Do It To It,” which topped the charts for over five months and became a defining song of the noughties. Fast-forward to Friday, when Orlando-based DJ and producer ACRAZE released his highly anticipated rework via Thrive Music—and it’s on track to be the biggest crossover hit of the summer. In a victorious moment a few weeks ago, DJ Snake brought ACRAZE on stage at Brooklyn Mirage and hailed the track as “the song of the summer” before dropping it for a rowdy crowd. With a pulsing bassline and head-bopping drums, the tune is addictive. The beat syncs up perfectly with the catchy and nostalgic vocal hook, making it impossible not to sing and dance along. It’s one of those rare songs that compels the whole crowd to bounce and groove. Way bef...
LP Giobbi and Kaleena Zanders Put Pride and Soul at the Forefront With New Single “Carry Us”
House music producer LP Giobbi and singer-songwriter Kaleena Zanders have teamed up for a joyous single called “Carry Us.” After several months of adjustments to properly deliver their message, the track is finally out on Thrive Music. This track took several iterations to get to where it is today because we wanted to find the best way to support the powerful song Kaleena wrote,” Giobbi explained in a statement shared on Instagram. “Watching her create, produce and write was a magical experience for me because it felt like it came from a place beyond this world. It pushed me to step up and meet her to try as best as I could to create a track from which her message could soar!” Powerful piano chords, brisk shakers, and a pulsating bassline provide the perfe...
