Originally from the bay, now in L.A, hip hop/R&B artist B’NOIR makes a strong impression with his debut song, “Don’t Push Me”. Catchy verses are confidently delivered over whimsical production—a unique combination that really makes this one stand out. The first time I heard “Don’t Push Me” I was immediately hooked, and after listening to it repeatedly over the last few …
du0 & Emily Coulston – Come Home
du0 is an Australian producer that specializes in easy-listening electronic music. His new song “Come Home” is a prime example of his smooth style—featuring a subdued house beat, tantalizing acoustic guitar, and pleasantly airy vocals from fellow Aussie, Emily Coulston. Everything about this one is atmospheric and emotional, with a deceptively simplistic sound that’s all too easy to get wrapped …
Augest – Gloss (Otherwise Fine Remix) (Audio Aquarium Premiere)
Electronic duo Otherwise Fine are back with a silky smooth new remix of producer Augest‘s song, “Gloss”. They put an energizing spin on the dreamy original, introducing speedy build ups and explosive, synth-laden drops. Their additions take the song into future bass territory, making it all the more accessible and fun. I think the two artist’s styles sound great together, …
Vandelux – Don’t Let Go
San Fran musician Vandelux continues to evolve his sound with this gorgeous new single, “Don’t Let Go”. It’s a song full of crackling texture and waves of warm instrumentation, with delicate vocals interwoven throughout. I’ve been a fan of Vandelux since the beginning—way back when he was creating electro remixes of Biggie Smalls and Snoop Dogg—so to see him mature …
Hippie Sabotage – Overdrive
Genre bending duo Hippie Sabotage have a unique style that blends woozy guitar riffs, hard hitting percussion, and sleepily delivered vocals. It’s not really like anything else out there but it’s super easy to get into. Their new song “Overdrive” embodies the group’s signature sound and serves as a perfect introduction if you’re not already familiar. Check it out below—along …
Emmit Fenn – I Can’t Believe I Had You
The recently released Until We Meet Again EP by incredibly talented singer and producer Emmit Fenn is a gorgeous little project from start to finish. My favorite song, hands down, is the delicate and sentimental “I Can’t Believe I Had You”. It features softly crooned and subtly digitized vocals, dreamy synths, and a smooth house beat. Fenn’s entire discography is great, …
Gill Chang – Sad About It (feat. Luma)
This is a bit of a throwback as it was released 6 months ago, but I just heard it for the first time and fell in love. “Sad About It” fits right in line with the rest of Gill Chang‘s consistently high quality electronic music, while standing out as one of his most unique songs to date. He enlists Luma for …
Catching Flies – Ghosts
London producer Catching Flies continues to impress with his new single “Ghosts”. Like his other work, this song is incredibly detailed and well produced—with an array of instruments combining to create an intensely emotive sound. The steady beat is layered with melancholic acoustic guitar, asiatic sounding strings, and a smoky saxophone section that carries the song home. If you’re not …
Very Yes – Ten Ate
I couldn’t find much info on Very Yes but I can tell you this much: I absolutely love the music he’s been making. I was hooked on his debut song “Collide” a while back, and more recently I’ve been enjoying his equally impressive follow-up, “Ten Ate”. It revolves around a series of gorgeous vocal samples that are chopped and arranged …
Flume – Rushing Back (Third Culture Kid Remix)
Seattle producer Third Culture Kid‘s rendition of “Rushing Back” stands out as one of the best remixes the amazing original has seen so far. Waves of rich, textured sound back Vera Blue’s haunting vocals, and a blend of heavy electronica comes crashing down in an explosive drop. I imagine putting your own spin on a track of this caliber is …
