Up and coming producer LSDREAM recently released his debut album Voyager and I’ve been really into it. It’s a great mix of hard-charging electronic bangers and trippy, chilled out vocal mixes. My favorite song by far is the final track of the 10-song album, which is titled “Tiferet”. Wikipedia says Tiferet is “the sixth sefira in the kabbalistic Tree of Life. It has the common association of spirituality, balance, integration, beauty, miracles, and compassion”—all very fitting descriptions for this gorgeous instrumental tune. Stream it below, check out the full album here, and be sure to follow LSDREAM on SoundCloud.

ilo ilo – wait
Mysterious new artist(s) ilo ilo have been teasing the release of new music on their instagram for while now, and their debut single is finally here. “Wait” is a supremely catchy tune that features steel drums, looped vocals, and a bunch of crazy little electronic flourishes. It’s got an upbeat, tropical vibe but it packs some serious heat at the same time. I really can’t wait to hear more from them after this intriguing debut. Follow ilo ilo on SoundCloud and stay tuned for more.

Always Never – Morgan Freeman
Toronto R&B duo Always Never are about to get in your head with their new song, “Morgan Freeman”. I don’t usually post a lot of R&B but it’s smooth as silk and I just couldn’t resist. The production on this one is spacious and chilled out, leaving plenty of room for the vocals to breathe. The vibe kinda reminds me of The Weeknd’s early work, which is pretty impressive. Check these guys out on SoundCloud and stream “Morgan Freeman” below.

MEMBA – O.D. (ft. TITUS)
MEMBA are back with another heater! “O.D.” is a nasty rap/electronic combo featuring TITUS‘s icy flow and heavy, extraterrestrial sounding production. The grinding bass immediately commands your full attention, but it’s the bizarre drop that takes things to another level. With their last few releases, MEMBA have become one of my favorite production duos doing it right now, and I can’t wait to hear what they do next. Grab a free download of “O.D.” and stream it below.

Stream the remix below and be sure to follow Sasha Sloan on SoundCloud—I have a feeling big things could be in her future after hearing this one.

Taska Black – In Your Eyes (ft. Ayelle)
Taska Black has been on a hot streak lately—releasing unique originals and collaborative efforts on a regular basis. His latest song, “In Your Eyes,” finds the Antwerp based producer once again teaming up with talented vocalist, Ayelle. An intro featuring Ayelle’s delicate vocal work builds into an explosion of powerful synths and drums, creating an emotion-evoking dynamic that ebbs and flows for the duration of the song. Check out Taska Blacks SoundCloud and stream “In Your Eyes” below.

It’s a combination that works extremely well, and it’s easily favorite remix of the the track to date. Head to Team EZY’s SoundCloud for more tunes, and stream his remix of “Would You Ever” below.

Rusko – High
Rusko is BACK! He just released his new Rusko – Has Made 5 More Songs EP via famed dubstep label Circus Records and it’s some of his best work to date. The highlight for me is the second track, “High”, which features dreamy vocals, steel drums, a little flute for good measure, and a grinding bassline to tie it all together. It leans away from the rest of the EP’s dubstep style (which I love—don’t get me wrong), but stands out as one of Rusko’s all-time catchiest tunes. Stream it below and check out the rest of the EP on SoundCloud or the platform of your choice.

MEMBA & Mothica – Chasing Light
Following their killer remix of Missy Elliott’s “Get Ur Freak On”, NY-based duo MEMBA unleash an equally impressive original in “Chasing Light”. The vibrant, bass-heavy beat packs a serious punch, and Mothica‘s airy vocals lend an emotional edge. It reminds me of some of Droeloe’s recent work, but it’s still wildly original. I firmly believe that this is the sound that represents the future of electronic music. Grab a free download of “Chasing Light” and stream it below, along with MEMBA’s Missy Elliott remix.
