AWOL Sun Weekend Happy Hour with Rony Seikaly

The weekend is here again! Though we can all agree it’s way too short, let’s grab some drinks and have some fun before we get a case of the Mondays. Keep your chin up – your vacation with AWOL Sun in Cabo San Lucas is right around the corner on October 10-13th. Time is running out to book your suite, so be sure to reserve your four-night experience today!

For this edition of AWOL Sun’s Happy Hour, we’ll be pairing a Spin Doctor who plays deep beats with a refreshing deep sea drink. So sit back. Relax. Take a sip of your beverage and press play – because sometimes, that’s really all you need.

Rony Seikaly – Sugar Free Radio: August 3, 2013

There is so much to respect about former NBA star turned producer/DJ Rony Seikaly. Now considered a “Spin Doctor” both on and off the court, Rony plays and creates a unique style of house music that has turned him into a sought after international talent. With a new show on SiriusXM’s Electric Area called Sugar Free Radio, this AWOL Sun artist has a rather impressive resumé.

For this particular episode of Sugar Free Radio, the Miami based artists lays down some deep grooves, often incorporating modulated synths that borrow notes from whatever key they so choose. We love the fatty bass that resonates throughout the mix. The soft, transient strings towards the end of the hour-long journey makes you feel like you’re drifting off into the ocean. If you’re looking for some deep house grooves with an Ibiza flare, definitely check this one out.

Deep Blue Sea Martini

Wanna get deep? This blue Martini is an excellent addition to any party. The Deep Blue Sea Martini is made of vodka, blue curacao, sour mix and pineapple juice. While any orange liqueur you have in stock will do, you will not obtain that blue hue unless you use the ever-essential blue curacao.

  • 2 oz Blue Ice American Vodka
  • 3/4 oz sweet and sour mix
  • 1/2 blue curacao
  • 1/2 oz pineapple juice

Pour the vodka, sour mix, blue curacao and pineapple juice into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Yield: 1 Cocktail

AWOL Sun Weekend Happy Hour with A-Trak

Why does it always seem like it takes so long to get to the weekend? Counting down the days probably doesn’t help, but starting now, it’s time for friends, drinks and fun all before Monday rears its ugly head. Though your vacation with AWOL Sun in Cabo San Lucas is what you’re really looking forward to, you need to take a break from the real world beforehand.

For this edition of AWOL Sun’s Happy Hour, we’ll be pairing the leader of the Fool’s Gold world with a cocktail coincidentally sharing the same title. So sit back. Relax. Take a sip of your beverage and press play – because sometimes, that’s really all you need.

Oh, and don’t forget – AWOL Sun sold out well over a month in advance last year, so be sure to reserve your four-night experience soon!

A-Trak – Fool’s Gold Radio: January 2013 Mix

AWOL Sun artist A-Trak is one of the most gifted DJs out right now. The Canadian selector integrates so many of different musical influences both in the studio and on stage, that his audiences are just as varied as his track selection is.

For this particular mix, A-Trak compiled a radio mix for his imprint Fool’s Gold to help commemorate the new year. Featuring artists ranging from Kendrick Lamar, Amtrac and GTA, this mix has a little something for every type of dancer.

Fool’s Gold Cocktail

  • 1 Part gold tequila
  • 1 Part triple sec
  • Dash of lime juice
  • Dash of lemon juice
  • Dash of simple syrup
  • Five drops of Tabasco
  • Splash of Cola

Shake everything except the cola and the Tabasco with cracked ice. Strain and pour over ice. Top up with cola and add the Tabasco. Garnish with a lemon wheel.

Something Wicked Weekend Warriors: Henry Krinkle, Adventure Club, Firebeatz

The weekend is made for fun with friends, going out, and definitely not thinking about work. This Saturday, October 26th will include all of that and then some, as Houston’s premier Halloween event, Something Wicked returns to the Sam Houston Race Park. Have you bought your tickets yet?

Before we get down, here are three mixes from our Wicked roster to get you pumped for the upcoming event.

Henry Krinkle – Live At The Shelter Shanghai

Henry Krinkle is about 4,000 miles away from being considered a UK bass producer, but his productions may lead a listener to think otherwise. Recorded live from the The Shelter in Shanghai, this Wicked talent shared the set on Soundcloud.

Coining some of his tracks as lush house, this set is a perfect example of the phrase. Starting things off with his Lush Haus mix of Gold Panda’s “Vanilla Minus,” Henry uses these atmospheric textures in the background to create this airy headspace for a most relaxing track. The set also features other Wicked friend Cyril Hahn and his remix of “Please Don’t Say You Love Me.” We love everything about this mix – we’re giving it the nickname, Future R&B.

Adventure Club – Superheroes Anonymous Volume 3

Armed with red capes and spandex, the unstoppable Canadian duo, Adventure Club, are back with the third installment of their Superheroes Anonymous mix.

This mix is a pretty accurate snapshot of the most recent tracks that the boys are playing out live. Always testing varied BPMs, this mix ventures in big room house, trap, all while staying true to their dubstep roots. This mix also debuts their forthcoming single “Gold.”

Firebeatz – Firebeatz FM #006

The Dutch duo Firebeatz releases their Firebeatz FM series every month. For episode six, the boys introduce some (then) new tunes from Hardwell and MAKJ, Bassjackers and Gregori Klosman, Vicetone, Quintino and Blasterjaxx plus their remix of Calvin Harris’ new track “Thinking About You” featuring Ayah Marar.
