Rising Australian electronic duo PINES have been quietly releasing some insanely good music lately. Their latest song “Speak” is a smooth, trance inducing dance track that features sultry vocals, heavenly pads, and a crisp, thumping beat to tie it all together. PINES‘ laid back and accessible style sometimes reminds me of Odesza, which is obviously high praise, and I fully …
Cozway – Nightshade
The latest from innovative producer Cozway features frenetic percussion and otherworldly sounds that create an eerie and uneasy vibe. “Nightshade” starts with tribal sounding drums that build up to a thunderous drop and onslaught of unexpected sounds. Cozway’s sound is completely unique and he’s hands down one of my favorite artists right now. Check out the rest of his SoundCloud …
DELAY. – Tank!
Amsterdam based producer DELAY. has been sitting on this one since way back in 2014, but he finally released it to the masses and it still sounds fresh. “Tank!” is flip of Cowboy Bebop’s opening theme that stomps on the gas and never lets up. Furious trap drums and rapid-fire samples compliment the high energy brass from the original, and …
BLACK LAND & Aglon – Talking In My Sleep
What kind of electronic black magic is this? Producers Black Land and Aglon teamed up to create this deliciously strange little number, and I for one am hooked. Pitched and chopped vocal samples are paired with thumping drums and an array of weird supporting sounds, resulting in a wild 3-minute ride.
Whethan – That’s Too Slow
The main man Whethan‘s new song “That’s Too Slow” is an otherworldly future bass single. A smooth, string-laden intro builds into a powerful drop on this one—with wobbly synths and a thumping beat orbiting around a perfectly pitched sample. It gets even crazier towards the end too, so make sure you stick around for the whole thing.
n u a g e s – Untold
The latest from UK producer n u a g e s is a mesmerizing, downtempo masterpiece. This artist has an extensive portfolio of sounds, but I think this might just be my favorite song of his so far. In “Untold,” fuzzy vocal samples are layered atop steady percussion, echoing xylophone notes, and some hazy strings towards the end. All the elements build …
LSDREAM – Tiferet
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 …
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 …
Nicole Dollanganger – Ball Jointed Doll (NtrlTaste Remix)
This is the first I’ve heard of Russian production duo NtrlTaste. They’ve got some pretty bouncy stuff on their SoundCloud page, but their recent reworking of singer Nicole Dollanganger‘s song “Ball Jointed Doll” is what really impressed me. It’s a subdued remix of a quietly powerful song that I just had to post—mostly because of what happens midway through the …
