#Music Monday: Fruits of Their Labor

Coincidently, a few of my favorite songs right now have something to do with fruit in the title. So for this Music Monday, I’m bringing you a fruit salad featuring BRANX, The Polish Ambassador and SOPHIE. All very different sounds:

1) There’s BRANX, who gets me funk stepping all around my living room.
2) Then we have The Polish Ambassador – he’s always there to put a smile on my face with his delicate beats.
3) Finally, SOPHIE’s ‘Lemonade,’ bass shakes my bones and interludes of some sort of Sailor Moon-esque sample makes me giggle. Very experimental, but worth the full listen.

Enjoy!

And for something a little different…

Music Monday: Tropical Eargasms

Happy Monday, Consuming PR readers! Today kicks off the first of many Music Monday posts. Every Monday, I’ll be sharing my top picks from the week(end) — songs that I’ve found myself, that friends and readers have shared, etc. This will be the place where I showcase music trends and artists to watch.

Today’s Music Monday wraps up a few songs that remind me of living in tropical paradise. Topical house, trop trap, trop step… you tell me which sub-genre 😉

New Tunes: Viceroy Continues his Motto of “Summertime All The Time”

Looking for some music to play poolside in the afternoon this summer? Enjoy a few new hits from Viceroy, all promoted and free to download on Soundcloud!

And for the 90s kids out there… enjoy Montell Jordan remixed. This remix of Montell Jordan’s “This Is How We Do It” counts over 180K plays on Soundcloud and was given a shoutout by the R&B singer himself. Didn’t think they could do it, but it’s pretty catchy.

Want to learn more about Viceroy?

His “summertime, all the time” motto seep deep into both his original and remix catalog leaving a lush, tropical disco-house sound that is paralleled by no one. It’s this distinctive sound that has found Viceroy with features in nearly every publication including VICE Magazine, The Huffington Post, MTV, Nylon Magazine, Fresh New Tracks, Gotta Dance Dirty, All Things Go, This Song Is Sick, and many more.

In 2012, Viceroy released a slew of chart topping, well received singles, including the pop gems “Chase Us Around”, “While We’re In Love”, and the dance floor filling, “Only Takes”. On the remix front, Viceroy has worked with well established artists such as Maroon 5, Passion Pit, Two Door Cinema Club, Yelle, The Knocks, and St. Lucia. Already shaping up to be a momentous year for this remarkable producer, 2013 has seen Viceroy release “Dream Of Bombay” along with the next edition of his now infamous “Jet Life” remix series with a funk-filled rework of Montell Jordan’s “This Is How We Do It”. Most recently, Viceroy has teamed up with New York City’s French Horn Rebellion on “FridayNights”, an all new original track featuring Robert Perlick-Molinari’s crooning vocals and ear-catching bouncing grooves.

With demand for his brand of dance music rising, Viceroy has brought his infectious sound to stages around the world – playing alongside such respected names such as Diplo, Theophilus London, Miami Horror, Oliver, and Treasure Fingers, while continuing to keep summer the only season in your upcoming forecast.
