Newcomer Tom Odell seems to land naturally into that tricky space of minimal yet well executed emotional pop rock. Not far from waters tread by early Coldplay, Starsailor, Jeff Buckley, etc “Another Love” delivers a subtle seriousness sans the cliches, and plus some new inspiration. Preview the track below.

Barny Carter has been producing some of our favorite night records of the year with the ambient “Park” and his remix of Sleepwalkers’ “Rear Window”. The 22 year-old multi-instrumentalist out of Bristol, who is piano technician by day and musician by night, fuses home-made samples, cut-up beats and atmospheric synths for his own climate of sound. Having already earned notoriety from the likes of the BBC, the young Carter is making many lists as one to watch. His debut EP titled Still Life drops on August 28th via DryCry Records. Get an exclusive sneak peak at it below!

M00N is the latest from Supreme Cuts & Haleek Maul’s upcoming collaborative mixtape Chrome Lips. A definite improvement over first single “Dummy”, “M00N”, which samples King Crimson’s “Moonchild” (King Crimson, still the shit), bangs, clangs & smangs boosted into stratospheric heights via some pretty fresh sounding SC atmospherics.

The great “Skirts” by The Other Tribe gets re-focused through the lens of a “dance party on the space-shuttle” by London producer Eat More Cake. Big track.

The gorgeous (and we stress gorgeous) “Wounded Melody” by new UK electronic act Face+Heel (in a very 2010’s turn, the duo met on Soundcloud) is one of the best tracks of the month and maybe the year. On “Wounded Melody”, a wall of just really beautiful sonics supports a rhythm track of really excellent kick/snare cut-ups, that and the vocal sampling which is 100% not of this world. Listen.

London duo Maribou State refashion Submotion Orchestra’s “Blindspot” track into a stunning multi-genre dinner & dessert spread. At times quiet, at times House, at times the most modern in UK bass music, the sheer mix & variety of sounds traversed across the track’s six minute duration is really extraordinary. Do not miss. Thx LFTF

Hems new “Last Words” EP is the shit. The EP features five new tracks and fresh new remixes from Shlohmo, Baauer & more. Our favourite track from the EP is the Earth-from-30,000-feet-above panoply of “The Happy Mask Shop”. Cop dat.

J. Lo’s Mary Jane Girls-sampling “I’m Real”remix crushed the summer of 2001 (no. 2’s in the air if you were there too.) sitting atop the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks. As part of a recent covers series, Waxpoetics connects NYC singer Kendra Morris and That Handsome Devil frontman Godforbid to “I’m Real” casting them in the roles of J. Lo and Millennial hip hop hot hand Ja Rule (Murda). The result is a buttery A+ great rework of a great song.

NEW UK band hit that b3sci rock and roll sweet spot with debut track “Graceland”. Although laced up with shoegaze-era guitar leads, the track’s bustling rhythms and melodic umph give “Graceland” an interesting punch and those juxtapositions make for a nice dynamic. Give these young blokes your attention below.

OK, b3sci Grown & Sexy Crew; we’ve got a new R&B jawn we think you’re really going like (we do!). Coming to us via Atlanta, vocal trio Metropolis dial up the spirit of classic soul (including numerous “Listen Baby”s) balanced with more modern nods to Hip Hop & R&B rhythms (that beat is bangin). The group’s lead single “One 4 U”, excerpted here from their upcoming Resurrection LP, is as smooth and silky as a summer Sunday afternoon and a sound that you should certainly get with.
