It’s Not ‘So Long’ Until Slushii Plays at RARE

Everyone’s favorite frozen treat, Slushii, drops a new single “So Long” featuring lilting vocals by Madi, out now on Mad Decent. As an artist who’s been making big waves in the future bass scene, the latest tune from Slushii is more oceanic than a road trip from Kamakura to Kujikuri — with a West Coast vibe.

Watch the futuristic music video for “So Long” depicting an elderly couple reliving their love story by way of virtual reality. Directed by Karam Gill, the touching story showcases the sentimental top line and contemporary style of Slushii’s production.

“My Favorite Part” of ‘The Divine Feminine’ Features Ariana Grande

Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller joins Carnage at RARE, fully loaded with fresh ammo off his new album The Divine Feminine set to drop September 16th. The full-length record clocks in at 10 tracks and features an incredible array of guests including Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak, CeeLo Green, and Ty Dolla $ign. On the latest single “My Favorite Part,” Mac Miller makes sweet music alongside his girlfriend Ariana Grande.

The Divine Feminine follows up GO:OD AM, marking his fourth studio album. As the title suggests, Mac Miller drew inspiration from the universe at large saying, “It was actually a concept that was told to me about the energy of the world being a female energy, and just how that mirrors the soul of a woman.”

“It’s an album about the journey that is love,” he goes on to say.

For Yellow Claw and their Barong Family label, take over is a fact. What started as a way for the Amsterdam duo to bridge the gap between hip hop and EDM, has gone on to make Yellow Claw one of today’s most influential trap artists. Having established the Barong Family record label back in 2014, Yellow Claw now round up their crew of formidable Dutch producers for a compilation album and world tour. Don’t sleep Dallas, grab tickets now!

Upcoming Tour Dates

• Yellow Claw in Dallas, TX on Friday, September 30th

Tracing back to its root meaning, the Barong Family album documentary opens in Bali, Indonesia before the whole squad holes up to collaborate via a sequestered cabin in the north of France. According to the film, all you could hear were birds chirping and the sounds of an 808 kick drum. Over the course of seven days, Yellow Claw brought everyone together to make as much music as possible.

“It’s basically a week at school,” said Nils describing the creative environment, where everyone was able to get a glimpse into each other’s work process, picking up some tips and tricks along the way. Ever the risk-takers, the short-form documentary celebrates the fact that sometimes to achieve what you’ve always dreamed, you must first make the ultimate sacrifice and risk it all.
