Jacob Plant Has “Ice Cream” That Will Soothe Your Dance Soul

Hey guys!

I’ve been away for a while, but I’m back with my first post of the new year. With the new year has come new great songs. The following song is one that I’m really hooked on!

I like to check Pete Tong’s BBC Radio 1 mixes as often as possible because the music is so pure and there are a lot of brand new and exclusive gems in those mixes. I also love it because it’s all about Dance music and it encompasses both ends of the spectrum–Deep House to aggressive Electro House. One of the recent mixes included a song called “Ice Cream” by Jacob Plant. There are a few reasons why I really like this song.

I feel like this song is very versatile in its sound. There are some sounds that resemble those of House from the 80s and then some that have that Progressive and Electro House feel. I think the beat drop is awesome, especially if you listen to it on a really nice sound system. “Ice Cream” reminds me of the type of song that Oliver Heldens would make; who by the way, in my opinion, is the Best New DJ of 2014. I feel like Heldens created a sound template that others, like Jacob Plant, have embraced and have innovated their own sounds accordingly. This song has that driving Electro-sounding beat drop and a consistent Dance beat throughout. I think it’s great!

And “Ice Cream” JUST became available for download on iTunes TODAY! So if you like it, hop on it!

Talk to you soon, my Press peeps!

“Gecko” by Oliver Heldens Is a Must-Listen for Those That Live For A Great Bassline

If you have never turned the bass and volume on your speakers all the way up in your life, “Gecko” by Oliver Heldens is a good song to start with. I ask those that need to listen to songs with lyrics in order to enjoy them to give this one a chance and try to experience the beat. The song starts off pretty slow with a pretty simple progressive beat. After some time, he begins to play around with different sounds which coalesce into an amazinggggg beatdrop!

The first time I heard it, I knew that this was a good one. I am a sucker for a good beat drop; I just love it! I feel that it is a great blend of House and EDM, using elements of both but not overwhelmingly so. This is the kind of song you can close your eyes to, lose yourself in the beat and dance however you would like. Do yourself a favor and check this one out!!

Hasta luego,
