The bitbird label has been on a roll lately with releases from San Holo, Eastghost, and now a new single from Taska Black. “Backwards Love” is a delicate and dreamy electronic pop tune featuring sultry vocals from vocalist TRACE and warm, organic production from Taska Black. Pitched vocal samples and melancholic guitar strums build into cascading percussion and synths, with …
Madeon – All My Friends
Globally renowned electronic artist and DJ Madeon makes a triumphant return with his brand new single “All My Friends”. Having been over 3 years since his last release, it’s good to see the French producer hasn’t lost his touch. Like all of Madeon’s previous work, everything about “All My Friends” is impossibly groovy and pretty damn hard to resist. It’s …
Kiiara – Feels (LICK Remix)
LA based producer LICK is known for his heavy industrial sound, but he lightens things up with this shimmering remix of Kiiara‘s hit song “Feels”. The original vocals remain mostly intact, while LICK introduces layers of sweeping synths and bubbly effects. Even though it’s more light hearted than his usual style, it still packs a punch—especially when the chorus comes …
BANKS – Gimme
BANKS returns with a wild new song produced by the one and only Hudson Mohawke. “Gimme” showcases BANKS’ unique voice and songwriting style alongside a thunderous beat from Mohawke. It’s a combination of talents I never knew I needed until now, but these two really outdid themselves here. Check it out below.
Kidswaste – Sleeping Pills (feat. KOLE)
French producer Kidswaste enlists the beautiful and fast-rising vocalist KOLE for a dreamy new single called “Sleeping Pills”. The melodic production pairs nicely with KOLE’s softly crooned vocals, slowly building intensity before dropping into a speedy and hypnotizing chorus. It’s a prime example of Kidswaste’s ability to craft gorgeous electronic pop music. Check out more from both Kidswaste and KOLE …
Wet – Lately (Snakehips Bootleg)
London duo Snakehips recently reworked Wet‘s sultry single “Lately” into a smooth electronic tune that’s perfect for starting your week. Wet’s vocals remain front and center while steady drum patterns and bassy, ebbing synths offer a unique compliment. This one has a lot of depth to it, and it also maintains the appeal of the original which is a sure …
Manila Killa – Skin (feat. OutsideOUTSIDE)
Manila Killa‘s debut EP 1993 came out of nowhere and has quickly become my favorite thing to listen to right now. It’s filled with super clean and catchy production and has some great guest features too. My favorite song, “Skin”, features alternative pop/R&B/electronic group OutsideOUTSIDE and has one of the most satisfying drops I’ve heard this year–but don’t expect screeching …
Quinn XCII – Holding Hands (feat. Elohim)
Quinn XCII‘s new album has arrived and the very first song—a melancholic collaboration with Elohim—is a true standout. “Holding Hands” is a heart-wrenching song about moving on that features softly crooned vocals from both artists alongside warm and elegant production. It’s easily my favorite song from the Michigan artist’s latest project, but the rest of the album is certainly worth …
The Chainsmokers – HOPE (Parker Remix)
Rising producer Parker puts an ungodly heavy spin on The Chainsmokers recent single “HOPE”. Opening with twinkling keys and vocals from Winona Oak, Parker beefs up the original with epic horn jabs and thunderous bass—transforming the pretty pop song into a dangerous electronic anthem. I love when remixes switch up the vibe like this without losing the essence of the …
Diplo – New Shapes (feat. Octavian)
The latest from Diplo is a hypnotic and serene collaboration with London based vocalist Octavian. Diplo’s versatility is put on display in “New Shapes”, with gorgeously chilled out production that’s complimented perfectly by Octavian’s reggae-like vocal melodies. I’m really feeling this one. It’s the second single from Diplo’s upcoming EP, Europa, which is shaping up to be something special.
