Luvian - Valley Girl

The mellow grooves of Luvian have always been a sight for sore eyes (ears?) for us here at The HotBox, with many a hangover or two seemingly drifting away after some time with Luvian's tracks.
The Brighton based producer has just released what might possibly be our favorite track from him yet, 'Valley Girl', a downtempo lullaby complete with sweetly pitched vocals and just the kind of gentle, yet complex melody and percussion arrangement, that we need post-party. If you've been on one, or even just had a hard days work, download the FREE track here and let Luvian wrap you up in his warm sounds.   WANT MORE? Then follow The HotBox on Facebook and Twitter

Luvian - Holocene (Luvian Remix)

We've talked about the huge talent behind Brighton's Luvian before. When he's not making beautifully minimal and downtempo tracks, he's transgressing the blurry genre lines of electronic music, all in an effort to create something unique.
In his latest project, a rework of Bon Iver's 'Holocene', Luvian doesn't depart to far from the original, choosing instead to lightly incorporate his own distinctive 2step percussion breaks and field recorded samples, coupled with the kind of minimal and spaced-out (reverbed) melody that would fit perfectly in any Bon Iver track.
It's a quality remix that absolutely demands attention. Check it out below and if you like it, then go ahead and vote here to help give Luvian the chance to have his remix featured on the album release.

Luvian - Jams EP

Luvian's 'Jams' EP has finally arrived comprising the previously covered tracks 'Only You', 'My Life'.
Also there is new track 'Haze', a chilled out, sub bass roller that lingers around the 140-160bpm mark.
With tidy use of vocal samples and an enchanting if minimal melody running throughout the track, this is exactly the kind of post-dubstep style vibe that we love at The HotBox.
Check out 'Haze' below as well as the whole 'Jams' EP, which is available to buy at VibeDeck, where you can also now grab many of Luvian's older releases for FREE in exchange for Facebook likes.

Luvian - My Life

After seven days of summer r&r, we're back with plenty of new music for your sexy ears, so let's jump right into it!
We've covered Luvian before and his particular brand of 'future bass'. He's since got back in touch to share his latest single 'My Life', a sweet and melodic 2step roller from the Brighton producer. The track doesn't stray too far from Luvian's familiar downtempo production style. Chilled out vibes aside, there's  still plenty of emphasis on those lower frequencies with know and love, with plentiful deep bass flowing through the track.
There's no download yet, but Luvian will be dropping his EP sometime soon, so in the meantime he's definitely one to watch.

Luvian - Only You

More and more artists are starting to blur the rigid boundaries of musical genres these days and Brighton's Luvian is one of such producers. There's a school of thought that argues that we don't need genres, and that such pigeonholing is restricting music. Nevertheless, for ease's sake I still feel compelled to describe Luvian's 'Only You' as following a kind of house rhythm, although with a very chilled out, almost coastal vibe with garage fixtures...regardless, this track is definitely one for the upcoming summer evenings and showcases a great deal of Luvian's percussive complexity and deep production style.
Although there's no word as of yet on the release of 'Only You', check out the track below as well as the rest of Luvian's Soundcloud for more excellent productions including a FREE remix of FREnchfire's 'Prime' available here.
Let's hope to be hearing more from Luvian soon.
