This is not the first time we’ve posted about Martin Garrix and his track Animals, but we are so obsessed with his beats that we wanted to post about it again, this time remixed by Oliver Heldens!

The swiftly emerging producer/DJ, Oliver Heldens, releases his deep house remix of Martin Garrix’s “Animals” via Spinnin’ Records. Following up on his breakthrough single, “Gecko,” Oliver unveils another smash production that rides on the fringe of the underground. His remix of “Animals” brings a high-energy vibe to deep house with heavy grooves held at a big-room tempo. Gaining international attention from top dance music artists, labels, new fans, and tastemaker bloggers, OIiver Heldens is making waves with his fresh sound.

HBO’s Looking…Sexiest New TV Show!

hbo looking_raannt

We weren’t really sure what to expect with HBO’s new series Looking, which follows the lives of a group of gay friends in San Francisco.  Would it be cliched? Would it be pure sex?  Would it be this generation’s Queer as Folk?  What we found pleasantly surprised us.

The group of friends, mostly drawn together by lead character Patrick, display the varying different aspects of gay life in today’s times, from monogamous relationships, to threesomes, dating sites, first dates, the irony of Facebook stalking, career choices and chance encounters.  Looking is wise, smart and endearing.  We fell in love with these guys in the first few minutes and at the end of the first episode, were begging for more.

We love the look and feel of the show, from the sexy style of these guys in their late 20’s to early 40’s, their artsy yet shabby apartments and their rugged exteriors, all to the backdrop of a very real San Francisco, filled with dirty streets and late night train rides.

And if you’re wondering about how HBO will authentically be dealing with sex in Looking…watch the first episode to find out.  Needless to say, the address the issues of commitment and love, while taking raw and vulnerable risks in one fell swoop.  One thing is for certain, the show will not be making one statement about gay life in today’s times, but instead, show that life and experience is different for every gay man.

Thank you HBO for a wonderful new show!

Looking is on HBO Sunday’s at 10:30pm

Parker Hurley…Sexiest Model of the Day!

parker hurley model_raannt

It would be easy to say we find model Parker Hurley sexy as hell due to his incredibly chiseled body or his intoxicating smile, but truth be told, it’s a mixture of those great looks and his utter good-guyness that make us love him all the more.

Parker has a Tumblr blog and on it he is pretty vocal about his daily life, exercise and diet regimen and whatever else is going on.  Unlike other models who seem completely untouchable, he posts pictures, directly from his Instagram parker_hurley, and welcomes us into his world!

Tritonal Defines SEXY! An Interview

tritonal 2_raannt

Let’s start by expressing our obsession with Tritonalwe’re obsessed! Their beats are killer and their personalities shine through every drop and rhythm they create!  We had to interview them for our magazine.  The Texan duo took the time to let us in on their musical rollercoaster and chat about their upcoming projects, and killer new “Now Or Never – The Remixes Pt. 1” currently out now!  Check out what Dave and Chad had to say!

tritonal 1_raannt

1. Introduce yourself  in one sentence or less.

Dave – I’m Dave, 25 years old, half of Tritonal and have had a passion for writing music for nearly a decade!

Chad – Hey I’m Chad, one half of Tritonal, a little bit older than Dave and share the same massive passion for writing music and performing!

2. How would you guys define your sound?

There could be many words to describe our sound, but we’d have to say in a few words: Intelligent, fun and emotional.

3. What’s your favorite thing about working together?

It can be easy to get lost in a project if you’re constantly listening to the record over and over again, as we do constantly, trying to perfect each song. Having us work together, bouncing off ideas on each other’s heads is a LIFESAVER on a record. It’s having that second pair of ears that we feel works so well!

4. Chad, tell us something we wouldn’t know by looking at Dave. Dave, tell us something we wouldn’t know by looking at Chad.

Chad – Well, Dave’s H I L A R I O U S!   He’s always coming up with funny self-made videos and we love finding idiosyncrasies in situations while on tour. 

Dave – For Chad, if you didn’t already know him, you better be aware that you’re in for a ride. This guy is a total riot to be around AND a great dancer!

5. How do you define sexy?

Probably the same as how we would generally define some new audio gear that we’re about to install in the studio. That’s sexy!

6. What’s the sexiest City? Hotel? Club? Music Festival? Song?

HAHA – we’ve definitely had the privilege to see so many incredible cities! Well, call us biased, but the sexiest city is Austin, Texas.  The sexiest hotel is the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas along with probably the sexiest festival in all the US – EDC VEGAS!

6. If you could master a different genre of music, which one would it be and why?

For us, we’d love to master down more of what’s behind a Coldplay record – some INCREDIBLE production and also cinematic scoring! There’s so much involved behind scoring and mastering tracks like these and we would love the challenge!

7. Who are your top musicians, dead or alive, to work with and why?

Dave: For me, I’d have to say Chris Martin from Coldplay – I’m always finding myself listening to a Coldplay record. The lyrics, the soundscapes, the melody; they have it all. Another would be Cinematic Orchestra as they have put together some of the most inspiring and intelligent scores I’ve ever heard! Having them on a track of ours’ and writing a melodic score with them would be a dream!

8. What’s next for Tritonal?

Well, there’s a lot coming down the pipes for Tritonal as we’re just about to launch our merchandise store, we’re also proud part owners of Enhanced Music with Will Holland and there’s some incredible material in the works for the label. Speaking of it, we also have our very first “Tritonia” compilation CD which is about to come out in December which features SO many amazing artists from the label with some exclusive material as well as some of our own.  But as for us, we’re about to head to Australia for the Stereosonic tour for a couple weeks and WE ARE READY!!

9. What are your three simple luxuries?

Dave – For me, I’d have to say working out, video gaming and every so often a day off to enjoy a hike and dinner with my wife.

Capri Blue Volcano Candles…Sexiest Item of the Day!

capri blue volcano candle anthropologie_raannt

We found these amazing Capri Blue Volcano candles several years ago at Anthropologie, and they have intoxicated our home ever since! We are absolutely obsessed with these candles.  They range in prices depending on size, but most of the larger ones which range near $28 last for months and fill our home with their incredible scent.

If you don’t believe us, go to Anthropologie and check them out or order them online directly at Capri Blue.  Their prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality of the candle and the duration it burns!  Volcano is only one of their scents, but it is forever our favorite!
