Beatport - the home of electronic dance music - recognized Cola & Lollipops' new work from Jim Carson "Big Booty Up" (Edit) and featured it at the #8 position when the chart debuted in early July. You can find it here now with lots of other track added in as well so we are somewhere around track #55 now: https://www.beatport.com/chart/best-new-bass-house-july-2025/857109
Recently, our friend Sai Mankit from Koh Samui, Thailand, contracted Cola & Lollipops with Mr. Carson for mastering services before the intro $100 promotion ended, and we did a full-length master DJ mix for her and uploaded it to the Anahata Love Recordings' Soundcloud page here: https://soundcloud.com/anahataloverecordings at her request and it came out beautifully. So beautiful and juicy to the ears like sweet drippy honey that one of our artists on Cola & Lollipops - Monstr Drop from Ventura, California, USA - "Back2Funk" on Pimp House, Vol 12 - Summer of Love - Vibe Check - is going to air it on his Select Saturdays radio show out of Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, in a couple weeks.
For now, if you are in the mood for a sweet afro house sunset, chill house vibes session, you can listen to it here:
Enjoy the smooth sunset session, afro house beats from Ma Meridian co-founder Sai Mankit, original from Thailand.
Another thing, we did here at the label was have Jim Carson experiment with doing electro house/EDM bootlegs at higher BPMS for the DJs playing in the nightclubs here in Bangkok.
He came up with banger of tune at 128 BPMS, mashing up one of this favorite R & B and hip hop songs from Chris Brown with Carson's original beats. It turned out really well. So well, that Jim himself even likes it and wants to play it out "live!"
