GAPS – Shatter

“Shatter”, the latest from Brighton band GAPS, is set to a minimal (almost hymnal) aesthetic ruddered around hypnotic whirl of repeated synth stabs and arpeggios. We’re very into “Shatter’s” fresh, trend-agnostic sound.

Jinsang – Journey

This track does exactly what it says it’s going to do: it takes you on a J O U R N E Y. Nostalgic symphonic sounds add comfort and ease to this track. Let jinsang’s track, “Journey” wash away your worries and destress your mind. Enjoy.

Skinnydip – Upstream (Feat. Brandon Thomas and Luca)

Deep house is the word(s) on “Upstream”, the dreamy new late night track from Skinnydip. Featuring a set of bars from OG Maco and Lil Yachty collaborator Brandon Thomas and additional production from Tei Shi producer Luca, “Upstream” is an accomplished bit of vibe-y dance music that we’re very much into. Skinnydip are the NYC-based twosome of Jon Hill and Sandro Buccellatti.

StéLouse – Shivers N Gold (Feat. Mascolo)

StéLouse links up with talented 19-year old newcomer Mascolo (check that vocal tone, oooh wee) for soulful new number “Shivers N Gold”. Particularly special on “Shivers N Gold” is the stickiness/magnetism of the track’s pocket and how well it frames Mascolo’s super strong vocal. A+ track.

Dream Beach – The Kiss of a Century (Feat. Cub)

Dream Beach’s latest track “The Kiss of a Century” (Feat. Cub) takes you on an emotional journey. Unlike the producer’s previous work, Dream Beach approached this track with more of a stripped down feel by creating a track that’s beautiful through it’s simplicities. “The Kiss of a Century” is giving me all the feels. Listen and see for yourself.

Mookhi – Foul Play (Feat. Billy Fox)

New track “Foul Play” teams up Australian producer Mookhi with vocalist Billy Fox. For “Foul Play”, Mookhi selects for a quieting whiz of cool electronics steadied by a hushed rhythm track groove; vocalist Billy Fox’s main melody lines are similarly chilled and fluid. “Foul Play” is sampled from Mookhi’s forthcoming “Lost & Found” EP, due on February 24th.
