“West London women have no passion. Sadness to them is just another word.” In the manner of Morrissey’s many dimensional croon/provocation comes newcomers Fé’s excellent Strangeways lyrical wryness meets 2013 UK indie latest “She Came”. That historical context aside, “She Came” itself is very soulful. It’s narrative is compelling. It feels real. “She Came” is a rarity in 2013.

Supreme Cuts shod a beautiful R&B-inflected tableau of synth atmospheres, orchestration & piano for new track “Gone” featuring teenage French chanteuse Mahaut Mondino. Wrested melodically from somewhere deep deep inside the mid 90’s R&B/house, the genre jumping vocal stylings of Ms. Mondino create a cool dynamic against the more contemporary R&B of SC’s production. “Gone” is sampled here from Supreme Cuts’ upcoming Divine Ecstasy LP.

D.C.’s GEMS (& ATG/B3/TMD’s CMJ (enough acronyms?) Hit Parade act) let loose the dramatic & soulful boy-girl synth pop of their upcoming EP’s title track “Medusa”. Forty fathoms deep in reverb and Lean-esque in its cinematic quality, “Medusa” for its instrumental ornamentation is really quite visceral melodically (hit us straight in the gut) and we really really like that. Hit Parade.

No bio electronic producer (& a favorite of b3) Slow Magic lends his complex, varied, exotic production style to tourmate Gold Panda’s “Brazil”. Quiet at the start and slow to build, the mix’s big payoff in its fourth minute (when the oceansized mid 80’s synth introduce into the track) is quite special. Get with it below.
