Tv Girl - Laura

Tv Girl are back with a new song and together comes their new EP, Lonely Women.The cheerful, irresistible sounds they provide establishes them one of the most exciting acts out there in the psych pop (with a little hip hop touch) genre. Laura couldn’t be something less than excellent, uptempo rhythms with tropical landscapes going back and forth into a Beck style inspired pop song that gives meaning to the words summer-ish song!!!! This is so lovely that you can feel your eyes filled with tears!

FYSX - Super Bad Bitch

Two dudes residing in L.A trying to make decent ass music. FYSX is a soulful hip hop project where, as you can hear in the mind blowing Super Bad Bitch single, they have an innate tendency on catchy, bouncy hooks and tropical rhymes! Exotic synths and beats that in one way they sound absolutely urban while they float with accuracy to soundtrack the long days of your summer! It’s like Toro Y Moi and Hodgy Beats came together under the strict supervision of Kanye West for something original!!!! This could be their baby child and is named FYSX…..

FYSX’s debut EP is preparing to drop in July.

Paul White - Watch The Ants

Another new track from the forthcoming Paul White release, Watch The Ant EP, sees the light of day. The opening track goes for a psychedelic ride through tribal drums and wonky afro exits that marks an even weirder psyched out turn than some of his previous efforts but definitely one of the most exciting moments that Mr. Paul White has ever offered us!!!

Press play to lose yourself in his musical rainforest and click here to pre-order Watch The Ant EP that will drop on July 26 via One Handed Music.

Only Real - Take It From Me


21 year old producer Only Real got my mind buzzing with his latest track Take It From Me. While he has accustomed us with his voice rapping over guitars and drums, here he uses an uplifting jazz sampling beat and launches the whole experience in an over growing house party! So sweet and sunny that makes your heart ache from pleasure!

Janae Jones - Shady Dunes

Seattle based producer/singer/photographer Janae Jones updated her bandcamp page with a new song after 8 months of complete silence. Shady Dunes is a mystical, tribal electronic r&b delight moving in multiple ramifications that’s been stigmatized by the ice melting voice of Janae Jones. Along with MOKO, this girl is one of the best things flourishing right now in the the world.

Oscar Key Sung - It’s Coming

Stunning free 2-song release by Melbourne based Oscar Key Sung. His softly, gentle and fragile rn’b/soul is concluded in absolute perfection in It’s Coming. The production values feel like it’s being treated by Jamie xx, The Drum, Shlohmo and all the super league of todays futuristic soul together in a mystical, occult and bulletproof room in the middle of the amazon rain forest while his deeply soulful voice conjures into an urban feast surrounded by palm trees! So just keep your ears wide open ‘cause we’re gonna hear a lot more by this guy!

It’s Coming/Sure Thing (Miguel Cover) is available for free download over here.

Death Legder - 2000

A furious, ruthless tour de force of hyper ballistic templates is what 2000 so gloriously generates. Toronto based producer Kevin Donelly aka Death Ledger blends a compelling work of hip hop, dark electronics and bouncy rhythms, all wrapped in a gothic head anthem of banger beats! It’s like Holy Other, Modeselektor, Clams Casino and Salem used their magic wand in this but no, it’s all work of this very promising Canadian producer!

Lost And Looking EP is available for download at Death Ledger’s bandcamp page.

Dexter - Once Again Back (Tune In)

It’s the kind of sound that smells summer. German producer Dexter brings the ’60s psychedelic rock into the hip hop scene with the bouncy, old skool and funk attitude forming a raw upbeat soul. This is what Once Again Back (Tune In), the opening track from the excellent The Trip LP, is aiming for and (oh-lord) you can feel the earth shaking beneath your feet!!! This is how psych/hip hop should sound like!!! Blaxploited vibes in the most compelling and danceable rhythm…

The Trip is available in cd, vinyl and digital and can be ordered here.

Blondie g.d - This Is War

Sparkling, soulful, dance oriented, vocal aggressive, downtempo soul…. Greek newcomer but London based Blondie g.d could touch the stars with This Is War, an intimate affair of heart pounding neo-soul that blasts with its explosive cargo that could cause some serious damage!King Elephant’s production elevates the whole thing in an airspace urban game where the devil is in the details, while a sexy icon is born in front of your eyes!!! Watch below the official video directed by Ciel and stay tuned for her debut album to drop sometime during summer!!!

Wolf Bones - Always Falling

I surrendered myself to the sun melted tunes of this song! Los Angeles based producer Wolf Bones adopts a chill out, synth hop approach with some exciting hints of string flashes flooding the dream pop layers of Always Falling. Maybe it’s the use of vocals that makes this something you’ve got to hold on to or just maybe it’s the irresistible pop course that bloosoms like a flower in front of you! Whatever it is, we’re talking about pure beauty!

Wolf Bones EP is available for purchase, in the price of 1$, over here

Yvnalesca - Baby

Eden Persad used to drop his soulful beats under the moniker of St Eden but now a change of style demanded the change of his stage name! As Yvnalesca the New Zealand producer draws an impeccable line between uk/garage and the post rn’b fireworks that shines with the soulful vocal samples and leads you into a slo-mo danceable experience through your headphones! Stylistically perfect, Baby shows an imaginative producer to have finally understood how to make bigger than life tracks to come to life and points out the reason why you have to place Eden Persad under your radar…

Dead Bored EP is available for a pay what you want download on Yvnalesca’s bandcamp page.

Janette Moon - We Are One

I found my self getting lost and suddenly i realised that i enjoyed the uncertainty that Janet Nommik aka Janette Moon offered me with We Are One. The London based producer weaves a confusing web of sound that entraps the bass dynamic of uk/garage with an eerie, dream pop collage that flourishes in the trancey enviroment of a mind bending dancefloor. With such various references in just one song (Knife, Holy Other, Purity Ring just to name a few!) and some exciting production skills, i believe that this female producer just gave us a hint of what she’s capable to accomplish! Definitely someone to watch out for…

The Drum - Sirens

I’ve been following The Drum’s sonic path from day one now and i’ve always been amazed from the multicolor sound that this Chicago duo is reaching. Sirens is probably their most experimental track yet. A tribal and afro hauntological railway of noises taken from the depths of an unexplored jungle, a horror story that doesn’t end well providing all these unwanted shivers that you keep asking for! An infallible rhythmic experience raised in the mood of an urban forest!!! Excellent…

Sirens is the first single from their forthcoming debut LP, Contact, which will drop via Audraglint Records.

Benin City - My Love

Hailing from London, the world/tropical/psych/hip hop trio of Benin City made a striking impression with their newest single My Love. Joshua Idehen’s spoken rhymes dresses this psychedelic and tropic musical road trip with an exotic outfit that raises the urban experience of My Love into a weird yet familiar pop lecture! Named after a Nigerian state capital, Benin City’s sound approaches Fool’s Gold Afro pop influences in a more bluesy and dirtier way that feels like a priceless rough diamond delivered straight to your hands! What you’re gonna do with it, depends only from you!

My Love is available for free download at the band’s site while their debut album, Fires In The Park, will be released via Audio Dougnuts on June 24th.
