A newcomer to the New York house music scene, Eric Bright is a singer, songwriter, and music producer who just dropped his debut single today. We are happy to host the exclusive first listen here at Buzzfeed! On “Love You Till The Dawn” Eric Bright brings us on a journey of love, singing “Everything about you turns me on...I’m going to love you till the dawn”. Full of deep house swells with a groovy trance crescendo, “Love You Till The Dawn” is a romantic house anthem that you can expect to hear played at sunrise sets and music festivals all year long. "Beginning of 2016 I started writing a new wave of material, inspired by the great Andrea Bocelli.” Eric Bright explains the originals of his latest masterpiece, “After studying so many of his compositions I was inspired to write several beautiful deep heart felt ballads of my own, accompanied by piano / sheet music. After picking a few of my best works, I knew something was missing, that would really help for this record to appeal to the masses. I therefore called up NY/ Haitian house producer, Francis Mercier to add some seasoning onto the record! After a few sessions in the studio, he really nailed what I was envisioning for the project, and gave it that spice it needed. Then like magic, ‘Love You Till the Dawn’ happened!" "Love You Till The Dawn" combines elements of R&B, Soul, Pop and House music, all rolled into one, to create a soulful romantic sound with lots of energy that anyone can relate and dance to. With the release of his triumphant new single, we would like to give Eric Bright a warm welcome. Hopefully, we will see more from him very soon.

In a world where music cannot be classified by genres, a world free from haters and precocious douche-bags, a world where every party is the after-party… WELCOME TO THE STRANGE WORLD OF THE FUTURE! Party Punx & The Myth Syndicate proudly present The Strange Lineup of the Future: The Tissues DIRTY SPELLS Máscaras ViceVersa Also Featuring… Peter Woods Dez Hope # # # The Airliner - $5 2419 N Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90031 # # # ViceVersa https://www.facebook.com/ViceVersaLegitStudios After successfully defending their themselves from Vice Media in a $2.5 billion lawsuit, Los Angeles punk band ViceVersa is back on stage where they belong – and playing with more aggressive energy than ever! Get a taste of ViceVersa by listening to their Ramones-esque, funk-punk masterpiece, Da EP Vol 2, on their website here: http://www.viceversa.la/ Watch ViceVersa’s 360 VR music video for “Head” on their YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV5D7qP0vbM Máscaras https://www.facebook.com/mascarasmusic/ All the way from Portland, Oregon, we have Máscaras, the psychedelic instrumental trio of Papi Fimbres (PAPI), Carlos Segovia (DC) and Theo Craig (T-KRAY). It's a jam with themes that become "songs" that live and breathe, leaving room for the unexpected. It doesn’t require vocals for music to speak volumes. If you’ve ever seen Máscaras live, you’re familiar with the fierce kinetic language of their instrumentation. Self-proclaimed as “maximalist indigenous rock,” their infectious blend of Cumbia-infused progressive kraut psych is bursting with energy. Something Craig mentions points to the heart of the band. He gets affirmative nods from Segovia and Fimbres when he says, "This record came from us just appreciating each other." Máscara vs. Máscara reveals nothing less." - Mac Pogue, Portland Mercury Listen to Mascaras at their website here: http://mascarasmusic.com/ DIRTY SPELLS https://www.facebook.com/dirtyspells On tour from Canada, DIRTY SPELLS, are a thundering 3-piece to be reckoned with. The culmination of violin, bass and drums create an instrumental, orchestral post-rock for the twenty-first century's 1970s French/Italian sci-fi horror film. "...mellifluous sounds reminiscent of Mogwai and Godspeed You! Black Emperor." - Discorder Magazine Check out DIRTY SPELLS on Bandcamp and give their Teeth EP a listen: https://dirtyspells.bandcamp.com/ The Tissues https://www.facebook.com/thetissuesofficial Bring your best dance moves & moshing shoes for The Tissues, a punk rock band from Los Angeles.

New York is known for breeding some of the best artists of all time. Dre Da Giant is one such artist on the rise and about to be huge, or better yet, a giant! Dre Da Giant has a flow as smooth as butter and his style can be compared to some of the hip hop greats such as Kayne West, Pharrell, and Kid Cudi. This new single, “Drunk Dial” tells a deep story about love and loss. This unapologetic apology is sure to hit home with anyone who's been through tough times in a relationship. The production behind this track is also on point and similar to something you might hear from Travis Scott. These lyrics speak to those who can find the right words to say when it really matters. Dre had this to say when asked about his inspiration for the song, "Drunk Dial fits into a larger narrative of a roller coaster relationship.” Dre Da Giant said about his new single. “It's actually the darkest and most vulnerable part. It's the part you regret. My goal behind the record was to capture that moment that so many of us have experienced. There's definitely some desperation, and my emotions are worn on my sleeves." But we all know that who you are as a person is highly influenced by your surroundings. Dre Da Giant is from Long Island, NY, and has leaned on music as his medium of expression. He stepped into the industry during his college years when he landed an internship with both Def Jam, and Republic Records, which enhanced his passion for music even deeper. After interning, he decided to link up with some college friends where he started producing music and making beats. His production would later find its way onto HipHopDx, and Hot97.com. Now Dre Da Giant is stepping behind the mic to share his experiences, with the goal of bringing the listener into the future, with his spacey sound and unorthodox melodies. You better keep your ears peeled for this superstar in the making because the bigger they are the harder they fall, But in Dre Da Giants case the bigger he is the harder he flows.
We recently got our hands on the unreleased album from Los Angeles band RASSCALLION. If these guys aren't on your radar yet, this album will definitely change that. Titled simply RASSCALLION I, the album sounds like Jack White had a baby with Steven Tyler... and his name was Joe Young. Straight from an era when punk rock was good and the mosh pits made you bleed real blood, RASSCALLION is a force of new grunge alt rock to be reckoned with. We're not quite sure how many tracks will be on the full album yet, but from the songs we heard, our fav was "Hey Yo". This is the kind of feel good punk that you can chant all of the lyrics to while you're dancing-walking down the street, or just bob your head and tap your toes in solitude. It's catchy to the point where you can't help but move and groove and possibly have this song stuck in your head for weeks. The song "Buddy" is a close second, a grungy blues tune with authentic attitude and rhythmic bass guitar. The entire album melts together with explosive old school punk rock energy, masterful guitar play, and lyrics that are a lined with wit and attitude. Joe Young is proving himself the guitar virtuoso he boldly claims to be with a voice to match. Produced by music industry legend Brian Christian, who helped create albums for Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, KISS, BB King, The Guess Who, Elvis Presley, and many more music greats, RASSCALLION might just be the next big rock band that matters. Keep your eyes on these guys, if for no other reason than to tell your friends that you "liked them before they were cool".
