Crossing Borders feat. Fritz Kalkbrenner (Chi Thanh Remix )

hiii,

A year end present for everyone! 
read below for more info -- Agor & Ra *_*

2014 led Blue Hawaii around the world. Over multiple visits to Russia, China/SE Asia, Mexico, Japan, Europe and the US, it felt like everything was coming up opposite Untogether, the album we made. Instead of being secluded in a Montreal apartment writing a fragmented break-up record, we were travelling vast distances, rediscovering each other as close friends and tying together radically different cultures. Our music came to reflect that. Live, everything sounded more together and higher energy than the record in an effort to find common ground with all those different audiences. 

It's the end of the year, so to commemorate the global underground touring we did— to all the people who were interested in coming to and putting on a Blue Hawaii show in Bangkok or Vilnius— we decided to put together a free mixtape of edits —  somewhere between the dreamy record and the banging live show. 

In 2015, Ra will focus on her other band, BRAIDS, who have just completed a beautiful, deeply emotional, new record which I am very excited to see come into the world. I will use what I’ve learnt this year DJing and roaming the earth to produce more music this winter —  planning on releasing material in a similar vein to this mixtape and hitting SXSW this March as DJ Blue Hawaii.. holding down the fort until Ra and I can record another album…   something 4 y’all to look forward to! ---;)  Agor (the boy in Blue Hawaii)

Enjoy!

Chris Howland - Let You Go
A Traxsource exclusive on 6.9.2015. 
Available 6.23.2015 at all other music outlets
Release also includes instrumental and acappella versions

Following up his most recent Deeplife release (The Way I Feel), Chris Howland hooks up with vocalist Chris Hird to provide another House anthem for 2015. "Let You Go" reminds you of the time you had to let go of the one you loved in hopes of one day getting them back. Hird's stellar lead vocals and harmonies provide the emotion needed to pull your heart strings while you groove to the sounds in this Classic House vibed track. Chris also offers a deeper "Alternate Mix", perfect for those poolside gatherings. 

Detroit's own Terrence Parker (aka International DJ Extraordinaire) shares his flavor of the track with his Deeep Detroit Heat Remix. In addition to his recent releases on Defected, Terrence has released more than 100 recordings, including several top 20 hits in Europe. His 30+ years of experience as a DJ has led him to perform in over 200 cities in 22 countries worldwide.

With remixes released on infamous New York house imprints like Nervous Records, KULT, and Peak Hour Music, Chris Howland continues to gain recognition with his productions. We trust that "Let You Go" will be in your crate for years to come.

Lyrics
I got these memories creepin' up on me.
It was so long ago, but I remember perfectly.
The way you looked at me, I thought you'd never leave.
But when I saw you go, I knew that I would never be...
The same again, You came and went.
But now and then, I remember when...

We had so much to say, could hardly hold it in.
Oh, but nowadays, it's just so different.
I try to move along, forget and carry on.
Try not to think about ya when I'm layin' all alone.
I gotta let you go, but it's so hard to let you go.

I gotta let you go,
But it's so hard to let you go.
I wanna let you know
That it's so hard to let you go.

Chris Howland - Let You Go (Original Mix)

Let You Go ft. Chris Hird (Alt mix)

Let You Go ft. Chris Hird (Original Mix)

If Lane 8, EDX, and Cazzette were to collaborate, it might sound a little something like this. In "Next To Me" you have intimate vocals that remind you of Cazzette's "Sleepless" alongside a warm rhythmic bassline that makes you think of an artist like EDX. With a vocoded harmonic feel, the vocals rest beautifully on top of a bed of lush and emotive Rhodes chords, sunny tropical synth plucks, and dusty retro textures ...and you can't help but feel drawn in. The song has a distinct and emotional feel, but it also maintains a certain dance-friendly quality that could certainly inspire plenty of those "head bobbing with your eyes closed" sort of moments. "Next To Me" does a great job of tying together a song that makes you move while also making you feel a special something in it's softer and more subdued moments. This one is definitely something you'll want to add your weekend playlists for taking a drive down to the beach, having a cozy little house party with close friends, or warming up a crowd in the beginning of a long night of dancing. Get your hands on this little gem, and keep your eyes on this guy for more tasty house music in the future!

FULL release available in stores September 21st. 

NY is in the HOUSE! We're super excited to welcome New Jersey resident, Chris Howland, to the RSR family. "Faithful" is a dope vocal house song and features the incredible pipes of one of New York's finest, Miya Bass.

The Original offers a straight up feel good vocal and a piano driven vibe. The vocal hook will get stuck in your head and is perfect for rocking your summer nights. Not finished there, Chris also flexes his Nu Disco feels on an alternate version, perfect for the more poolside sets.

On the remix duties are the hottest deep house duo of the moment, none other than, The Checkup. The Belgian duo have taken the vocal and rocked an old school flavour. With their trademark re-sampled piano chords it makes this another 'must have' from them. Rounding out the package is label bosses, Random Soul. They push a bass heavy mix for the late night disco haunts and early morning players. Deeper house with just enough uplifting soul in the breakdowns to expose the lush vocal melodies.

House lovers, Get down on it!
