This song came outta nowhere and it’s the perfect summer jam. Producer Kito teams up with heavyweights ZHU and Jeremih to craft a bright and bouncy dance tune that’s undeniably catchy. The speedy house beat and warm synths coast alongside Jeremih’s vocals, which are always top notch. If you’re looking for an upbeat tune to get you moving, look no further than “Follow.”
Silva – Freeze
Love this new freshness from Perth, Australia based producer Silva. This is an artist who’s in a lane of his own—his style doesn’t sound like anything else out right now. His latest offering, “Freeze,” starts smoothly and evolves into a serious banger, complete with a high-octane drop that’ll blow your hair back. I can’t get enough of it.
Very Yes – Paper
Rising producer Very Yes needs to be on your radar, especially after hearing his new song “Paper.” It’s a soothing combination of organic and electronic sounds that has me feeling all kinds of ways. I especially love the artificial vocal sounding pieces going on in this one—very catchy. Check it out below and head to his SoundCloud for more.
Glass Animals – Dreamland
The wait is finally over; Glass Animals deliver on the hype with their third studio album, Dreamland. The group’s signature fusion of electronic, indie, and pop is on full display throughout the entirety of the project, with one quality track after another. This one will be getting plenty of plays from me. Listen to the full album below, along with one of my favorite songs, “Tangerine.”
MEMBA – Strider
Producer duo MEMBA enlist thomboi for vocals on their smooth new single, “Strider.” You definitely don’t want to sleep on these guys—everything they come up with is incredibly refreshing and unique, and “Strider” is a shining example of what they bring to the table.
Elephants Everywhere – Whales
Today I was in the mood for some epic electronic music and Elephants Everywhere scratched that itch. The Detroit duo have an album called Slow Circles that’s full of vibey instrumentals–my favorite being the last track: “Whales”.
cln – DUST
Here’s a silky smooth new tune from Aussie artist cln. This guy makes some seriously melancholic music that’s best described as a blend of electronic, indie, and r&b.
Louis The Child – Little Things (sumthin sumthin Remix)
Louis The Child enlisted 8 talented artists to remix their summery pop single, “Little Things”, and these guys came through in a big way. All of the producers involved made the song their own and crafted 8 wildly unique sounding songs. Hands down, my favorite of the bunch is sumthin sumthin‘s playfully bouncy rendition. He pairs Quinn XCII‘s and Chelsea Cutler‘s poppy vocals with really cool rubbery synths and a beat that effortlessly chugs along. It’s not all fun and games though; the last drop switches things up with a new lead and pulsing bass, making for an unexpectedly aggressive change of pace. Check it out below and listen to all 8 of the remixes here.
WILDE THINGS – Between II Points
Up and coming LA producer WILDE THINGS just dropped his debut album, Between II Points, and it’s loaded with blissfully uplifting electronic tunes. My favorite track happens to be the one the album is named after: “Between II Points”. It’s a glowing example of what you can expect from the project. Catchy looped vocals form the backbone of the song, with shimmering pads and crisp percussion rounding things out. There’s a lot going on in this one but it blends together beautifully and offers up a great introduction to an artist who should definitely be on your radar. Listen to “Between II Points” below and check out the full album on SoundCloud or Spotify.
Candid Oak – The Path Forward
This is the first thing I’ve heard from Norwegian producer Candid Oak and it makes for quite the introduction. “The Path Forward” is a delightfully complex electronic tune with an energetic, but mellow, vibe. Rubbery synths and warped vocal samples cascade alongside a sturdy beat, creating an emotionally charged tune that just feels right. From start to finish it’s an auditory adventure, and this guy’s talent is immediately made apparent. I’ll definitely be keeping my eye on Candid Oak, and I suggest you do the same. Follow him on SoundCloud and listen to “The Path Forward” below.
