I'm super excited about this one! Everyone prepare yourselves for Tiger La. We first got a glimpse at her talent when we heard Bobby Green's "Velvet Queen," a track which she provided stellar anthem vocals to. Shortly after premiering that track here, we received a submission from her. My face lit up as I hadn't been able to find much more from her until then. After a few emails and a somewhat tricky international phone call, I got ahold of the Londoner and now I'm happy to introduce her to you all. Tiger La is a name you're going to remember.
We'll be sharing more of her music as we go along but let's start things off with her Lux produced "Deadly Rhythm." She calls it "the fruit of honest, soul-searching writing," and the track alludes to Tiger La's experience as a young dreamer in the big city and the arrogance of her youth. Her lyrics, inspired by scraps of her poetry and daydreams, explore the malaise of a generation and her vulnerability in love.
Check out the stream and pick up the download below. And definitely tell us your thoughts in the comment section at the bottom of the page. Whose voice does hers remind you of? I know my answer to that question, but I'm curious if anyone says the same.
Bobby Green is definitely going to be a threat to these hurt DJs and producers in 2013. While our New York boy is gearing up to drop his debut EP, he agreed to let loose this stream of his Tiger La assisted "Velvet Queen." As always, he delivers a well-rounded song, never a disposable club track. Yep. This is the kind of tune that the girls and boys will hear on the dancefloor and tirelessly search for the next day to have in their music collection. Enjoy "Velvet Queen," and we'll keep you posted with a release date.
Bobby Green never ceases to amaze us with his range of creativity. One day, he'll drop a heavy electro-house tune like "Goin' Crazy," the next he'll deliver a beautiful big-room anthem like "Barely Breathing," and then out of nowhere he'll give us a super fun, poppy, electric guitar-driven tune like "Don't You Wanna" as he did today. Fans of Bobby Green know they can pretty much always rely on a well-rounded song, fully equipped with vocals and a purpose. "Don't You Wanna" is a song about love, but it's not necessarily a love song. It's about taking a risk with someone, even if you know better or your instincts tell you not to. Without digging too much into it, we'll leave you with the track below. One day this kid's gonna sign to the big leagues, and we'll reminisce on the days of these amazing singles. So be a part of it all now.
There's no better way to describe "Barely Breathing" than ecstatic big room house... That's exactly what this is, and Bobby Green does it just as good as the big boys. I want to draw comparisons to Kaskade, Deadmau5, Above and Beyond and such, but that simply wouldn't be fair. This is something special all on its own. "Barely Breathing" kicks off with a triumphant one-two and quickly moves us around with a bouncy-bass and a lo-fi synth before crashing down with one of the most beautiful leads we've heard in a long time. Jocelyn and John bring their vocals aboard at this point and you couldn't possibly miss the feeling. When the song ends, you're not ready for it to... And that is something only a handful of producers can do.
Bravo, Bobby. Bravo!

We were introduced to the very impressive Bobby Green a couple days ago. He hit us back with this... Now, not a huge fan of LMFAO, and I know it's fucked up to say, but was kind of stoked to hear they broke up and are no more. However, I can't deny that they make good party music. Girls get very weird when their tracks come on the big speakers. Our new friend Bobby Green has taken "Shots" and turned it up another level. Check it out.
What to say about a collab like this? Our friend Bobby Green has teamed up with North Carolina native, singer/songwriter Jocelyn Ellis to make this beautiful dance-floor hit. It's punchy, wobbly, and triumphant right before and after its translucent anthem, picking you up and knocking you down... I asked Bobby what this track's all about, and he cool-y answered "It's the NYC scene..." Check it out and pick up this awesome free download.
