Oh yeah, BBGuns would like its fans to refer to themselves as BBs.
We see a lot of people refer to BBGuns fans with names like "Gunners" and "Gunheads" but the preferred nomenclature is "BB's" Thanks - MGMT

But speaking of Crafted Sounds, the label's compilation album, Bridges, was featured in Bandcamp's essential releases last week. The album is home to 21 songs from Sad Girls Aquatics Club to Bat Zuppel, and even the late Jesse Flati of The Lopez.
Okay I gotta run... but basically @Bandcamp included 'Bridges' in their essential releases article for the past week and I am over the moon! https://t.co/zbAkO0OuQM

Saturday was also the one year anniversary of international EDM artist Avicii's passing. Today, Breis Gordan released a live set of an Avicii tribute he played last year at Tilden.
The day after Avicii died I played a set at TIlden. In honor of one of the most influential producers & DJs of all time, I dedicated the night to Tim. Every track I played that evening was influenced by Avicii, whether it was a bootleg, edit, original production, remix, etc.

I recorded the set and debated on when to release it.

With it being about a year since his passing I have decided to share it. Hit the link below to take a listen.
