KAYLOO – Porte Dorée

B3 recently covered New York-based Parisian Kayloo for his subtle yet robust trap-accented French-touch-permeated late night dance spin on the Internet’s poetic-sexy vocals-led Ego Death album gem “Get Away”. We also recommend Kayloo’s new groovy chill-vibe lounge-y instrumental beat track “Porte Dorée” (French for Golden Gate). Kayloo’s third track to hit the pages of B3, “Porte Dorée”, is a warmly enveloping rhythmic-melodic electro soundscape that vaguely (not sure the circumstances) pays homage to another B3 fave artist TEK.LUN. (We would love to know the story behind this very good tune.) Kayloo (now rep’d by Singapore label Darker Than Wax) exhibits a good deal of artistic promise on the track and we look forward to hearing more songs from him real soon. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Persian Empire – Nilox

Electronic Track Reviews

We recomend the short and sweet (pleasantly soulful) synth textured beats track called “Nilox” from twenty-something German experimental-electro producer Persian Empire, a.k.a. Sam Khatam (who we covered here in July for his blissfully harmonic ambient-atmospheric “Mongo Maracuja” EP single “Jugo”). New track “Nilox” (an intricate weave of technicolor synth interludes, fun and lively JB-infused vocals, and subtle on-point percussion) is out via Purrrrrrr Records. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Raw-Artes – On Te L’avit Dit

Electronic Soul Track Reviews

Expand your mood with the brightly-spun dynamic of Latin rhythms, dazzling brass instrumentals and psychedelic oozy reverb-y guitar grooves on brilliant new disco-tinged dance jam “On Te L’avit Dit” from talented veteran UK artist Raw-Artes. This is one the best dance tracks we have heard this month. Fantastic! Reviewed by Erin Shay.

[B3SCI Records] Elohim – The Bridge and the Wall / Pigments

B3SCI Records Electronic Pop

Out now on B3SCI Records is the sophomore AA-side single from Los Angeles artist Elohim. We’re stoked to announce the release of “The Bridge and the Wall” / “Pigments” on limited edition white 12″ vinyl. “The Bridge and the Wall” has accumulated nearly 150,000 Soundcloud streams and was called by DIY as pop that is “glistening” and “glacial”. New track “Pigments” has already been named a “glittering new chunk of pop gold” by Best Fit and a “gem” by Pigeons and Planes. Further info about “The Bridge and the Wall / Pigments” release can be found at B3SCI Records

Us and It – We Are Not Afraid

Electronic Track Reviews

Leeds UK artist Us and It (a.k.a. Wolf Cub or Lawrence Nash) woos us with a superbly cinematic multi-dimensional sound-scape called “We Are Not Afraid”. A robust mosh of diverse instrumentals paired with a terrific dancehall sample, the new track exudes a sweet chemistry among its many elements (from tribal drums and blaring horns to beats, strings, and a beautiful Chopin(!)-derived keyboard melody). You will find the track on Us and It’s newly released “The Bombs Of – INSERT HERE” EP (out via new label Permahigh). We love it. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Slackin’ Beats – Pra Você

Electronic Track Reviews

We’re fond of the warm and summery Brazilian sunset lounge-inspired aesthetic of Slackin Beats (who had a great remix of 2015 stand out NoMBe track “California Girls”). We recommend the Swedish producer’s sensational new Latin vibe dance track “Pra Você”, which means “for you” in Portuguese. The track, which features sunny metallic drum accents and a sweeping synth line, is out exclusively via Stockholm collective Slackin Crew (presumably his own label). Awesome tune.

BLV – My Girl (Roman Kouder Remix)

Electronic Track Reviews

We recently featured French rising star producer Roman Kouder for his dynamic Patawawa-assisted nu-disco club jam “Fly”. We’re soaking up his latest glam-effects-tinged disco-energetic spin on track “My Girl” (feat. Stuart Parmley) by fellow Parisian artist BLV (released last month). Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Flamingosis – Frugal Livin (Feat. Ian Ewing)

Electronic Track Reviews

B3 go-to producer Flamingosis goes retro-flamboyant with a funky instrumental mix of beats, 70’s lounge tv-sit-com vibe horn and synth infusions, and a rather catchy guitar groove on his recently-released charmer track “Frugal Living”; which also features B3 covered artist Ian Ewing (in October we liked Ian’s lustrous-toned playful-vibe beats-led eclectic beauty track called “Water”). If you’re as into the new track as much we are, look for it on Flamingosis’ soon-to-release “Great Hair EP” (out February 12th). Reviewed by Erin Shay.

New-to-B3 Parisian producer Thomas Fontana turns in an outstanding natural-hand-percussion-touched instrumentals-leaning lounge-y Brazilian-vibe beats track named “Somewhere”. Incredible song. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Kill J – You’re Good, But I’m Better (Sad Money Remix)

Electronic Pop Track Reviews

LA-based producer Sad Money wows us with a superbly smooth down-tempo remix of “You’re Good But I’m Better”; a hype-worthy gem from B3 fave drone pop femme fatale Kill J (who has almost 500,000 Soundcloud hits in a few months on the track). Using perfect punctuating trap percussion and subtle-luminous synth effects Sad money excels in transforming Kill J’s daringly-feminist risqué incredible-vocals-led avant-pop mantra to something slightly more elevated and approachable. Amazing. We love how effectively Sad Money creates a sugary spin on Kill J’s beautifully brash lyrics. Excellent remix. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Sensi Sye – No Doubt

Electronic Track Reviews

This fall we got familiar with the distinct style of artist-talent Sensi Sye (a.k.a. Simon) and most recently featured his sparkling-delicate sweet-evocative effortless-natural hushed-hued enchanting-vibe percussion-permeated atmospheric remix of Mree track “Lift Me Up”. With that said, we are more than pleased to run across his latest trap-percussion-drenched falsetto-vocals-tinged ambient atmospheric melodic wonder “No Doubt”. Tune into its very excellent vocals.
