Ariana Grande’s ‘thank u, next’ is without a doubt one of the hottest tracks of the moment. Even if you’re not an Ariana fan, you have to appreciate her splendid vocals and the premise of the song. Ascending LA production whiz Bohkeh gives us a sexy yet tasteful re-imagining of the song by remixing the song into a dance-ready banger, replete with sultry synths and hypnotic pitch shifted vocals. The future beats edit feels like a complementary accompaniment to the infectious original, a snazzy springing, opulent sparkling take that’s nothing short of brilliant. Ariana needs to make this an official remix, if you ask me. Bohkeh’s remix is a free download, here.

Some dreamy canoodling and sweet future vibes seem like the perfect way to warm up on this cold, stormy day in Northern California. Though electronic music usually evokes sticky, sweaty dance floors and cramped, delirious crowds, RJ Lim, a producer from Los Angeles who goes by the name of Bohkeh, provides us the glowing effervescence and luxuriantly aerated future feels we so desperately need on his sublime new track, Hold You. The artist, a rising maverick in the SoCal electronica scene who released a fine EP in 2017 named Café as well as plenteous other collaborations and remarkable remixes (including this recent edit of Petit Biscuit’s Problems featuring Lido), drenches us with snazzy beats and a saccharine groove on his radiant and plush new swooner. Hold You inebriates us to the fullest with an embracing saturation of throwback R&B pop and buoyant future beats. Bohkeh promises much more music to come soon as we all wade into our favorite time of the year, festival season.
You can stream and purchase Hold You from iTunes, here, Spotify, here, or Bandcamp, here. Catch Bohkeh at the following shows in Southern California:

LYRICS:
I've got this big favor for you
Wontcha save two seats for you and me
The bus'll wait right there for you
I've got this pretty tight space for you to see
Up in my happy place baby
I've got a happy place baby
You should, come and see
Me in my happy place
You won't find it
In the paper front page
In the paper front page
In the paper front page
Up in my happy place baby
I've got a, I've got a happy place baby
You should, come with me
Me at my happy place
You won't find it
In the paper front page
In the paper front page
In the paper front page
Didn't always imagine
We could stick like crazy glue
You're my calm in the madness
Thought I had ya falling in my air balloon
Na, na, na,
The fall is quite familiar
I know the court's not what it seems
And whether you like it or not
I was up on my way back to the spot
I was just dropping you off
And
It's bout the time that
Those insecurities pass us by
We won't need em, you hot burning my cup
Pass the ice
Losing feeling
You made my lips go, my lips go, my lips go
I've got this big favor for you
Wontcha save two seats for you and me
The bus'll wait right there for you
I've got this pretty tight space for you to see
Up in my happy place baby
I've got a happy place baby
You should, come and see
Me in my happy place
You won't find it
In the paper front page
In the paper front page
In the paper front page
Up in my happy place baby
I've got a, I've got a happy place baby
You should, come with me
Me at my happy place
You won't find it
In the paper front page
In the paper front page
In the paper front page
(x8)
I'ma meet you there, you there
(x2)
Had some misdirections, getting lost
Wondered which way to walk, we had to pause
You should follow, follow
You should follow, follow
Me
Up in my happy place baby
I've got a happy place baby
You should, come and see
Me in my happy place
You won't find it
In the paper front page
In the paper front page
In the paper front page
Up in my happy place baby
I've got a, I've got a happy place baby
You should, come with me
Me at my happy place
You won't find it
In the paper front page
In the paper front page
In the paper front page
In my happy place, babe in my happy place
In my happy place
Witchu, witchu
I'm in my happy place, babe in my happy place
In my happy place, in my happy place
I'm in my happy place, babe in my happy place
