RIP Youth Support New Single “It’s A Vibe” with Official Remix from Bimbo Jones

Australia-born, LA-based RIP Youth (AKA James Maas) has delivered a dance anthem with “It’s a Vibe”. With production inspired by a love for early 2000’s pop/dance (Mark Ronson, Calvin Harris) the single is about someone who makes you see with rose colored glasses.

“It’s a Vibe” sees Maas taking the lead on vocals as RIP Youth evolves into a solo-project for the talented songwriter/producer. Premiered on Hype On Demand with Gem on Australia’s The Edge 96.ONE, the single broke into the Top 10 on iTunes Australia Dance chart upon release. Now, after strong radio support in Australia (Joy 94.9, 2ONE, KIIS 101.1) the US (Nexus) and the UK, “It’s A Vibe” is backed by an official remix from top DJ duo Bimbo Jones.

Originally founded by James Maas and longtime best-friends Dylan Bowes , RIP Youth dropped their debut single “You Love with Bombs Away & Reigan in 2020.

The group followed things up with “Fake” featuring the bold vocals of Ranger and a music video featuring choreography and an appearance from Abby Lee Miller (Dance Moms). Now the final stretch of 2021 looks to be RIP Youth’s most prolific yet, with an arsenal of new music and remixes on the horizon.
