What activities do you lose yourself in?

What are the activities you frequently lose yourself in? Whether it be during your free-time, during work, weekdays, weekends — take time to appreciate the things you get lost in.

The things you enjoy without thinking or that put you in a flow state.

For myself, that’s listening to electronic music, dancing, exercising (particularly cardio), and gaming.

Make sure to enjoy all life’s little (and big) moments!

[Prog. House] Ephixa & Laura Brehm – Losing You [Monstercat]

“Losing You” from Ephixa and Laura Brehm is a cosmic journey through space, time, and progressive vibes.


Losing You – Ephixa and Laura Brehm [Progressive House:]

It’s hard to go wrong with Monstercat as the depth and variety of the label certainly has something for everyone. “Losing You” will scratch your progressive house itch while providing some very spaced-out IDM vibes.

Canadian producer James Leusink, better known as Ephixa, and Monstercat songstress Laura Brehm helm this one, and it’s definitely one to get lost in.

Brehm’s vocals set the tone for a journey through space, time, making one contemplate the inner fabrics of the universe, or something damn near it. Underground beats coalesce into a cosmic wonderland worth checking out.

[Drum ‘N Bass] Feint – Words (Monstercat)

Revisit the magic in Feint’s 2016 single “Words” with Laura Brehm


Words – Feint | Drum ‘n Bass

I’m a big fan of drum and bass, so I was already vibing when Youtube Music shuffled to the dancefloor tinged “Words” by Monstercat regular Feint. The 2016 release opens with powerful drums, ambient synths, and vocal blessings from Laura Brehm. The drop and flow are closer to dance BPM than traditional drum and bass, providing the perfect amount of head nodding rhythm.

Be sure to check out more from its compilation album Monstercat 029 – Havoc featuring appearances by Marshmello, Pegboard Nerds, DROELOE, Jauz, San Holo and several Monstercat label acts.

[Reggaeton:] Darell, El Alfa – PAKATA & [Bass House:] Skrillex, J Balvin – In Da Getto (Remixes)

It’s Latin hour on this post. Throw back a few cervezas, or even some tequila, and let loose.


For this track I have three separate shoutouts. First off, my parents, as apparently when I was young I was babysat by Hispanic babysitters and all my life I have always been particular to Hispanic and Mexican culture. This led to my learning of un poco de español, I’d know more if I ever actually stopped ghosting the green owl from Duolingo.

I also think it’s what’s led to my recent liking of Bad Bunny, J Balvin and several other Spanish artists. Lastly, I have to shoutout my gym. My local Crunch gym literally is a club. Every time I go in they are bumping some of the best hip-hop, electronic and reggaeton I’ve ever heard. My Google “What is This Song?” button is worn out from all the tunes I’ve searched while working out.

This is the latest from those searches. Between the bumping beat powering the group fitness class in the corner through their HIIT, to the slick sample of Ludacris’ “Saturday” the banger level of “Pakata” is undeniably over 9000.

All this is a long ass way to say, Pakata = muy duro.

Honorable mention: Skrillex, J Balvin – In Da Getto (Henry Fong Remix) and it’s remixes from the recent LP.

[House:] lau.ra – Body Go (Lawrence Hart Remix)

Lawrence Hart’s remix of Body Go by lau.ra is the perfect amalgam of classic and contemporary house music.


[House] Body Go – Lawrence Hart Remix – lau.ra

I don’t need no explanation / ya I know your reputation / You got all my attention

Time for some classic house music. Lawrence Hart’s remix of Body Go by lau.ra is the embodiment of classic yet contemporary house. Upbeat, hip vocals, and a steady floor-filling beat, let this track transport you straight to the dance floor.
