ELOHIM – Panic Attacks (feat. Yoshi Flower)
Soothing vocals from ELOHIM and Yoshi Flower intertwine in this hauntingly beautiful new single. I found myself immediately intrigued by the opening melody, then the woozy guitar and perfect chorus sealed the deal. The style of these two mesh together effortlessly and I’d love to hear another collaboration down the road. “Panic Attacks” can be found on ELOHIM’s upcoming self …
Dermot Kennedy – Moments Passed (Mike Dean Remix)
Upcoming singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy‘s song “Moments Passed” gets a vibe-heavy remix by premiere hip hop producer Mike Dean. Kennedy’s heart-wrenching vocals are complimented by a spacious and skittering beat, with the strongest elements from the original—like the roughed-up and looped vocal chorus—still taking center stage. Everything about this one screams originality, which means Dermot Kennedy is a name I’ll be …
Cautious Clay – Blood Type
Soul/R&B musician Cautious Clay has incredible song writing skills and a rich sound that effortlessly blends genres. His spectacular 6-song Blood Type EP was recently released, with several new songs complimenting his previous singles. Standout track “Blood Type” has a subdued start that leads into an explosive chorus that’s been stuck in my head for days now. It’s one of …

From the start, “Broken Man” steadily builds into a chorus that’s undeniably the highlight of the song — …
Khwezi – B O Y x G I R L
Who is Khwezi? It seems like this mysterious Soundcloud account could belong to a collective of individuals. The vocals sound completely different from track to track, so maybe everything is centered around a single talented producer? Your guess is as good as mine – there aren’t many details readily available, and honestly I’m ok with that. “B O Y x …
Melvv – Not Me (ft. Two Feet)
Electronic artist Melvv enlists the help of Two Feet (one of my new favorites) on “Not Me” — a combination of subdued production and smokey vocals that’s catchy and classy, which certainly isn’t the easiest thing to pull off. Melvv puts his versatility on display by toning down his usual style and delivering a beat that compliments, but never overpowers …
Catching Flies – Komorebi
How to describe the wonderful music of London producer Catching Flies? It’s honestly hard to do justice to the beautiful feelings his music evokes, but on the most basic level it’s a melodic blend of chillwave, electronic, and downtempo – often taking the best of each genre and meshing them into a warm and easy listening experience. “Komorebi” is a …
Maggie Rogers – Resonant Body (Felix Snow Remix)
Song: Resonant Body (Felix Snow Remix) Artist: Maggie Rogers After seeing the video of Pharrell’s awesome reaction to Maggie Rogers’ song “Alaska”, I absolutely had to hear what else the talented Maryland based singer had out there. There’s plenty of quality material on Maggie’s SoundCloud—most of which is very folky—but this remix by Felix Snow really hit home for me. …
