Here’s an upbeat instrumental tune from Jerry Folk‘s brand new Sneeze EP. Like the rest of the EP, “Sneeze” is a buttery smooth and tightly produced song that’s all too easy to get lost in. Complex rhythms of cool synths, catchy guitar riffs, chimes, and bouncy keys create an energetic, but mellow vibe. It’s also the only song on the …

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.

The main man Whethan‘s new song “That’s Too Slow” is an otherworldly future bass single.

It gets even crazier towards the end too, so make sure you stick around for the whole thing.
