DAILY STREAM: Riva Starr, Riton, and Botnek! July 23, 2013 Edition!

Every day we receive a gazillion and one audio tunes and we can’t possibly feature them all … but it wouldn’t be fair to deprive your ears of their magic!

Are you in the mood for some surf house? Of course you are! Riva Starr is here to help with his brand new “Made in Italy” EP, with 2 tracks by Italians, for Italians everyone. Although we can’t even pronounce the name of the first of 2 songs (“Si E’ Spento Il Sole,” followed by a remix of “No Man’s Land“), the EP is a solid mix of chill vibes and groovy beats that deserve to be paired with a few mimosas.

Riton’s “Gas Pedal” lays cool monotone vocals over a moombahton beat. Offered as a free download exclusively from Annie Mac, the track is from Riton’s new “Can’t Stop The Clock” mixtape, which strips down “some of his favourite R&B acapellas,” including those of M.I.A.!

Whether you’re bracing yourself for the live stream of the year or packing your things for a flight to Belgium, this Botnek mix in anticipation of TomorrowLand 2013 is perfect to get you pumped up for the festival. As one of our favorite Canadian DJ’s, Botnek takes no prisoners in this 30-minute set, featuring a plethora of remixes and Botnek bashups. If you’re going to Belgium this weekend, make sure to stop by the Dim MakUp All Night” stage to catch Botnek’s electro-happy set.
