"I'm Living High, Chasing All the Colors"


Pardon the cheesy pun, but color me excited about the collaboration below. About a month ago, I heard a live snippet of the track at Bill Graham in SF when Marshmello came to town. I've gotta say, it's as bubbly and hard hitting as it sounded live. Equipped with the Passion Pit-esque vocals from Noah Cyrus, it's every bit as quirky as you expected, chalked full of high pitched samples and bouncy funtime beats that both Marshmello and Ookay are known for. This one may be more of a niche favorite, but there's always room on my playlists for chill, bass heavy EDM...#ChasingColors

Ookay Finds a Way to Make Seasonal EDM


Why don't more EDM artists make seasonal beats? I know that probably sounds like a terrible question, but hear me out. I'm not just talking Christmas favorites, I'm talking beats that remind you of going to the mall in the winter or the beach in the summer. Sure, Trop House has mostly cornered the market on summer vibes, but Ookay's Air may have been the first EDM track where I listened to it and immediately pictured snow falling on Christmas lights in December. The melodic sing-song of the chimes is the main culprit, but it's a rare track that seems perfect for a winter playlist. It's upbeat, full of cheer and offers a steady release of happy vibes. Hat tip to Ookay for bringing a bit of seasonal nostalgia with this one...#Air

A-Trak & Ookay Lead a Roller Coaster Ride of Rhythm


Call me boring, but I usually favor more melodic EDM than hard hitting, edge electronic music. That being said, it's a rare feat when an artist or artists can pull off both styles in one track. Enter A-Trak and Ookay who found a way to mix equal parts sharp, haunting synths with soothing slow bass. Until the 45 second mark, you could have convinced me that Only One was more of an Adventure Club type of slow dubstep. But then they mixed in the high-pitched, skittish synths over the snappy beat and soothing vocal samples. Needless to say, this one will take you on a journey, offering a wide range of tempos and vibes...#OnlyOne
