Since all this cold weather is finally vanishing into the warm tranquil rays of the sun, its a perfect time to be outside on the beach, margarita in hand, and soaking up them rays. Cause nothing is better than summertime, all the time.
Welcome to the musical creation that Austen Afridi, aka Viceroy exploits very well. Hailing from non other than the beautiful San Francisco, California. Where the beaches glisten and the pool parties are plentiful. Viceroy’s latest EP Sunburn, released this past November, is full of funky synth lines and perfectly placed vocal samples which he is deeming “funkplextro.” Whilst this is his latest release, he already has quite a few independent releases beforehand that have gained him massive exposure through the blogosphere including his remix to Wiz Khalifa’s, This Plane.
My favorite track without a doubt is the self titled Sunburn, for good reasons too. The dreamy synth buildups, then straight into the funk full of those notable vocal samples and arpeggiated piano lines. I highly recommend going to Viceroys website here and getting a Sunburn that burns oh so well. I will warn you though, these funky beach tunes will put you in a state of euphoria, leaving you wanting more so make sure to show Viceroy some love on his Twitter, as he’s always giving out free remixes.
