Oontz, oontz, oontz, oontz.

Summer is in full swing and there is an electric feeling in the air. We look forward to letting loose and enjoying a good beach party or a sweaty night of dancing with our loved ones (or alone in the living room).

Recently we’ve noticed the resurgence of house music into the mainstream and we couldn’t be happier to hear it. The high-energy genre makes us want to smoke strains that help us lose ourselves in the music and connect with the artists creating those pounding beats.
