Prolific LA-via-Baltimore brother duo The South Hill Experiment have arrived in 2025 with what might be their funkiest single yet. “Open Ocean” hits hard in the January cold, reminding us that summer days spent frolicking in the sea are just around the corner. With core duo Baird and Gabe Acheson applying their yearning vocals to the skin-tight grooves of the track, it’s poised to make you cry (in a good way) on the dance floor. Poolside fans especially… you’re gonna want to pre-save this one. It hits DSPs later this week, but you can listen to your heart’s content anytime between now and whenever that happens by pressing that player button and diving into this edition of MBE.
