Oregon meets Jersey as producer VRG teams up with DJ M.I. for this mesmerizing remix of “Here Comes The Night.” The melodic original is pumped up with rapid-fire club percussion and rubbery bass stabs—creating a really cool contrast with Mr. Hudson‘s melancholic vocals.

PINES – Speak
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.

ilo ilo – Let Me Go
Enigmatic new act ilo ilo are back with a second song that impresses once again. “Let Me Go” features sugary vocals that get chopped up and warped over a glitchy, tropical beat.

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 …
