Dree Mon – “No Chill”

Although always bitten by the music bug, Dree Paterson dreamed about being a dancer, when a car accident changed her life. She discovered a knack for refined songwriting, which steered her onto a new path. Inspired by the music of Stevie Wonder, Gwen Stefani and Jamiroquai, she developed a fresh blend of modern pop and retro funk and had her music used on TV and in films.

The sophomore single of her latest musical endeavor certainly makes this L.A.-based singer/songwriter shine. A lively beat, sunny electric guitar chords and sleek strings merge into a breezy, summery pop tune with delicious retro funk flair. Her soulful vocals are charismatic with a velvety glaze and give this bubbly dance groove a sunny, chillastic essence to which you just can’t sit still.

Big Sam’s Funky Nation – “Buzzin'”

Over a decade ago Big Sam, a New Orleans-native singer and trombonist, formed his band to indulge in the wide-ranging world of music. Mixing funk, rock ‘n’ roll, hiphop and jazz with the brassy influence of their hometown, they created an invigorating powerfunk sound. They love to tour with their energetic stage show, engaging with their exhilarated audience from festivals to rock clubs.

The first taster of their forthcoming album is a high-powered funk fest with lots of pep. It’s instantly thrilling with bouncy bass slaps and their Zapp-like talkbox vocals, but it soon bursts to life with some fiery, full-bodied brass, sweeping guitar riffs and contagious keys. Singing about hot, intoxicating love on the dance floor, its electrifying, funkalicious vibe will have you buzzin’ all night long.
