In this completely unexpected collaboration, Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker lends his vocals to ZHU‘s latest tune, and the results are top notch. ZHU’s music is always catchy and this one’s no different, but this super bouncy deep house sound is somewhat of a departure from the usual. Fortunately, it works amazingly well, and hearing both of these guys’ voices …
SwuM. – [スモーク]
According to Google, SwuM.‘s new Japanese titled tune translates to “Smoke,” which is an apt name for a song that’s so silky and smooth. The mysterious producer is known putting lo-fi spins on popular rap songs (much like his recent rendition of 6ix9ine’s song “Gummo”), but this one is a pure SwuM. instrumental.

Hye Sung – Bite Your Soul (feat. Shiloh)
Seoul based producer Hye Sung samples an old Vine by musician Shiloh Dynasty to create this super chilled out beat. Shiloh’s sultry vocals pair perfectly with Sung’s crisp percussion and guitar work, making for an irresistible flip that I’ve currently got playing on repeat. Check out Hye Sung’s SoundCloud for more.
kamandi – Goldie
Kamandi‘s new song “Goldie” is a beautiful and unique instrumental dedicated to the producer’s daughter. The song oozes with warm vibes during its brief 2 minute runtime, with the highlight coming around the midway point when pitched and chopped vocal samples are introduced. The combination of steamy guitar work, hypnotizing drums, and kamandi‘s incredible vocal manipulation result in an instrumental …
Jaun RIOS – Praia
Spanish producer Juan RIOS recently released his new Natura EP and it’s filled with the lovingly crafted, laid back beats he does best. “Praia” is a single from the 14 track project that’ll certainly whet your appetite with its hypnotic guitar work, crisp drums, and fuzzy vocal samples. Stream the EP on Spotify, purchase it on Bandcamp, and check out …
MODA – Ad Adel
With the goal of “making music that transcends genres and hits the feels,” you could say Toronto based production duo MODA are overachieving. They’ve got an emotive sound that’s delightfully chilled out. One of their latests songs, “Ad Adel”, simply oozes with emotion—featuring gorgeous acoustic piano, violin, and crooned vocal samples overtop a delicate beat. Everything combines perfectly, making for …
A-Dept – Pain
Sampling Skrillex’s “First Of The Year (Equinox)”, Denver based producer A-Dept delivers a slow-burning, trap infused banger in his new song “PAIN”. The reverb drenched electro elements and fierce percussion stand strong on their own, but the way this budding producer implemented the Skrillex sample takes the song to the next level. If you like what you hear, you can …
SOUDIERE – 1976
I’ve been really into the “chill beat with tough rap sample” thing lately, and nobody does it better than SOUDIERE. The French producer gets featured here regularly, and as long as he keeps pumping out quality tunes like this one, I don’t see that changing. His latest song, “1976,” features gorgeous production with sultry horns and percussion that thumps. And …
Tony – DEEPER ft. Ponsuda
Tony and Ponsuda, two producers and members of the EVILSIDECREW collective, recently teamed up for “Deeper” — a dreamy beat featuring faded rap vocals from Rich The Kid, Famous Dex & Jay Critch’s “You Flexing“. The vocals take a backseat in this one, acting as a rhythmic compliment to the otherworldly production, and the results are nothing short of hypnotizing.
Airia – Without You Here
Longtime Audio Aquarium favorite Airia just began an initiative to create a song a week for an entire year. Kicking things off is “Without You Here,” a tranquil instrumental that features acoustic guitar strums, airy pads, and beautifully chopped and pitched vocals. The end product is a soothing beat that maintains Airia’s signature sound while introducing innovative new elements to …
