🎧 NEW MASHUP EP: VACATION TONIGHT

IF YOU’VE EVER HEARD BRITNEY SPEARS WHISPER “YOU FEEL LIKE PARADISE AND I NEED A VACATION TONIGHT” AND THOUGHT, YEP, THAT’S EXACTLY IT — THIS ONE’S FOR YOU. @BRITNEYSPEARS’ “HOLD IT AGAINST ME” MEETS THE R&B CONFIDENCE OF @JHENEAIKO’S “B.S.” TO BRING YOU TWO VERSIONS OF THE SAME FANTASY:

WHEN I WORKED AT 2ND & CHARLES, MY COWORKER HEIDI ONCE LAUGHED AT THAT VACATION LINE. SHE CALLED IT “DUMB,” SAID IT WAS WHY SHE HATED THIS KIND OF MUSIC. BUT I REMEMBER THINKING — THAT’S EXACTLY WHY I LOVE IT.

MUSIC LIKE THIS ISN’T ALWAYS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO NEED EXPLANATIONS. SOMETIMES, IT’S FOR THE PEOPLE WHO FIND MEANING IN MOOD. FOR THE ONES WHO WANT TO PLAY A TRACK LIKE “HOLD BS AGAINST ME” IN THE BEDROOM, AND THEN SWITCH TO THE “DRUM & BASS MIX” AT SUNRISE. I HOPE HEIDI FOUND HER VERSION OF PARADISE — BECAUSE I FOUND MINE THROUGH THIS SOUND.

“HOLD BS AGAINST ME” IS YOUR LUXE GETAWAY WITH THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE — EYES LOCKED, WIND BLOWING, BODIES MOVING LIKE THE TIDE. THEN THE “DRUM & BASS MIX” TAKES YOU STRAIGHT TO THE AFTERPARTY — SWEATY, SPINNING, IN A CLUB THAT ONLY PLAYS SONGS THAT FEEL LIKE FANTASIES.

ALBUM ART COURTESY OF @HEIDIKLUM — YES, THAT HEIDI — WHOSE FACE ON THE COVER SERVES ICON ENERGY AND VACATION GLAMOUR IN EQUAL MEASURE.
