Song: Tunnels and Planes
Artist: Nick Leng
We recently went head over heels for Nick Leng’s “Leaves”, so another beautiful piece couldn’t come soon enough. Today is that day. “Tunnels and Planes” is an instrumental affair that feels like strolling though a warm spring shower. It’s soothing, lush, and sure to have you nodding you head.

Song: Diamonds
Artist: MONAKR
Brand new tune from a brand new band! MONAKR‘s debut track “Diamond” is a slice of feel-good indie-pop perfection. I’m in love with the sparkling 80’s synths and chopped up supporting vocals, but the chorus is what’ll get stuck in your head for days.
Song: I Luv You
Artist: Demo Taped
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, 17 year old ATLian demo taped lets loose “I Luv You” from his upcoming EP. Here’s a description straight from the man himself: Effervescent Electronic Soul enhanced by soft vocals to emulate the feeling of love. Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Song: Emotional (Prod. RZA)
Artist: Snoh
Swedish singer Snoh scored the golden opportunity of working with RZA on her newest song “Emotional”. Her passionate vocals ride the wave of RZA’s soulful production, building off of each other to create a classically cool piece of music.

Song: Bath House
Artist: Tobias
Chillingly beautiful piano rises above a thick layer of static and reverb drenched everything, then makes way for the perfect Lil’ Keke sample. This song is amazingly well done. My new personal favorite.

Song: Better
Artist: CloZee
CloZee’s new song “Better” isn’t just a song, it’s a cinematic soundscape. From the moment of the first chime I knew I was in for something pretty special. The song starts slowly and builds quickly, combining all sorts of lush layers and samples into an epic climax before descending back to melancholic baseline.
Song: Turn It Around
Artist: Conrank
Conrank from DIEHIGH Records is due to release an EP titled NOT WITHOUT very very soon. With “Turn It Around”, unexpected vocals give way to the heavy buzzing bass I’ve come to expect from Conrank. The results are killer. I can’t wait to hear the full EP after getting this first taste.
Song: We Belong ft. Katie Herzig (ODESZA Remix)
Artist: RAC
ODESZA had one of the best albums of 2014 and I’m thrilled that their musical output hasn’t let up since it’s release. Here they remix fellow EDM heavyweight RAC‘s “We Belong”. It’s sparkling and bouncy– a feel-good fusion of electronic, indie and pop.
Song: PaNic Love
Artist: Skamp
Song: Wasted Love
Artist: Skamp
I just found out about this guy Skamp and I already can’t get enough. It’s impossible not to nod along to the Adele sampling “Panic”, and his chilling take on ZHU’s “Faded” is simple and effective—one of the best remixes of the song I’ve heard.
Song: Tell Yo Mama (sadd ghost re-work)
Artist: Jay Rock ft. Kendrick Lamar
Check out sadd ghost’s rumbling remix of Jay Rock and Kendrick Lamar’s song “Tell Yo Mama”. I don’t even want to go back to the original after hearing this version. Well done.
