Experimental yet catchy, Argentinian producer Halpe delivers another forward thinking beat in “Spells”. If you’re not familiar with Halpe, his style leans towards the future bass genre, though most everything he creates has a unique and unexpected spin. “Spells” is no different—pairing pitched vocals and upbeat melodies with sharp, bass heavy synths to create a really interesting contrast.

PINES – This Life
The new single from Australian electronic duo PINES is a warm and shimmering instrumental that ebbs and flows with effortless elegance. PINES have consistently dropped beautiful tracks, but “This Life” is easily one of their best—making it a perfect way to cap off the duo’s year of quality music. Listen to “This Life” below and head over to their SoundCloud …
Tim Gunter – Running Away
LA based electronic producer Tim Gunter is back with a new single and it was well worth the wait. “Running Away” is an upbeat tune that fuses trap-inspired percussion, future synths, and catchy chopped vocals. It’s a quality example of future-bass production at it’s finest, and it’s been at the top of my personal playlist since its release. Stream it …
DROELOE – Kintsugi
Rounding out the impressive list of singles released ahead of Bitbird’s upcoming Gouldian Finch 02 Compilation is DROELOE‘s monumental new song, “Kintsugi”. If you recall, these guys released their A Moment In Time EP a month ago, and it’s honestly one of the most exciting things I’ve heard all year. “Kintsugi” picks up right where the EP left off, with …
San Holo – I Still See Your Face
San Holo never fails to impress with his creative and unique sound. His new song, “I Still See Your Face,” is the first single from his label Bitbird’s upcoming Gouldian Finch 02 Compilation, and it sets the bar quite high for the other contributing artists. The most notable thing here is the inclusion of San’s own vocals, which are playfully …
ODESZA – Across The Room (feat. Leon Bridges)
Today is the day, my friends. ODESZA‘s new album A Moment Apart is finally here and it was well worth the wait. I especially wanted to write about “Across The Room” because it’s such a fantastic (and unexpected) collaboration. I mean, Leon Bridges featured on an ODESZA track!? It’s a match made in heaven. The old-school soul singer’s silky vocals …
DROELOE – Homebound
Production duo DROLOE recently released their incredible A Moment In Time EP and it’s truly one of the best things I’ve heard all year. The lead single, “Sunburn”, was met with great success for good reason, but after dozens of listens, “Homebound” has to be my favorite track on the 5-song project. It’s a bouncy electronic cut that features sparkling …
SwuM. – Sizzurp
SwuM. is a producer with a knack for adding wildly unique spins to some of the most popular hip-hop tracks around. His latest beat samples the chorus from Three 6 Mafia’s classic ode to codeine, “Sippin on Some Syrup” and backs it with layers of beautiful strings and vocals borrowed from Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes soulful old song …
Sal Dulu – Antasma
Never heard of Sal Dulu? I hadn’t either before stumbling upon his wild new song “Antasma”. According to SoundCloud, Sal Dulu is a producer from Dublin—but it’d be tough to tell from the sound of this tune alone. “Antasma” has a laid back, tropical tone that’s established with tight drum patterns, jazzy guitar riffs, and an array of soulful vocal …
