Ahhhh, yes, those refreshing tones eminating from your Soundcloud player are from the very happily received around B3 return of Bibio and new track “Petals”. The song constructed around a plaintive melody and a hushed repeated picked guitar melody, “Petals” is one of those self-evidently beautiful tracks that just immediately grabs hold of your innate great melody receptors in your subconscious. Very good.

BAIO aka Vampire Weekend bassist Chris Baio is readying a remix release called “The Expansion Pack” for his September-released The Names record and a standout from the lot is this minimalist cinematographic mix from producer/artist Samuel Proffitt. Proffitt reduces down “Sister of Pearl” to its most fundamental rudiments, it’s melody and cadence and focuses them through a setting of spare piano and spacious instrumentation. It’s a neat turn at the track that we’re digging. Enjoy the B3 Premiere of Samuel Proffitt’s remix for BAIO’s “Sister of Pearl” below.

German producer Mogli turns a spacesoul frame to Aussie band Parcels’ great “Clockscared” track. Maybe what we dig most about Mogli’s mix is how he has chosen to set the melody from the original track. Forging an expansive margin for the vocal tune to really scintillate through the mix, the melody is expertly set up to really wow in each line. (One mark of a truly special remix). A++

Leeds, Britain based five-piece guitar band turned electronic collective Vessels (who we covered in February for their stunning loop-driven instrumental “Echo In”) fashion a vibrant-mesmerising multi-faceted multi-dimensional natural-effects-driven mystical world-music soundscape rework of “Vaapen” from Oslo artist Snasen. Incredible track. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Tune in to Melbourne, Australia duo James & Paddy, or Dividem, on their deep-focus club-ready percussion-tinged rhythm-based dnb-inflected dance jam named “Solitude”. Great track! Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Russian in Boston Exale makes a strong B3 debut with a funkified nu-disco remix for Pharrell Williams collaborators Mansions On The Moon’s single for “Radio”. A component part of a new free download (w/ the original “Radio” track) for fans to mark a year on since the release of MOTM’s debut album, Exale’s mix marries French-inspired warm house tones with a decidedly more rhythmically angular bent. Spin the B3SCI Premiere of Exale’s excellent new remix for Mansions On The Moon’s “Radio” below.

We like the latest bright-perspective synth-framed dance-oriented remix of Deutsch Duke sultry-crooner soul track “Harder Without You” from talented B3-featured Sydney-based future-funk producer MXXWLL (also known as Maxwell Bidstrup); an artist who we covered in August for his slick and beautifully-centered sweet-nurturing funk-driven vox-enhanced calm-vibe spin on Jodie Abacus track “Good Feeling”.

Berlin-based contemporary deep house producer Oskar Offerman excels with a brilliant new slow-burner track called “Find Yourself”, an expansive-natured rhythm-based original which we like for its artfully-deliberate slow-unfolding 90’s-infused Massive Attack-“Paradise Circus” vibes, heated whispery-obscure vocal elements, and nicely-varied mosh of heavy bass-driven metallic percussion. Check out the new track on Oskar Offermann’s latest Mule Musiq-rep’d EP “Le Grand To Do” (full stream available on November 13th). Awesome. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

House dynamo / music manager (Tom Misch & Blonde) Duncan Murray teams up with buzzing pop singer Ofelia K for an after hours mix of her “Gone” single. Here Ofelia K’s “Gone” vocal has been positioned by Duncan Murray ethereally atop the mix and meshed with driving arpeggiations and washes of late night house atmosphere. It’s a sleek and sultry take on the track that we totally adore. Spin the B3SCI Premiere of Duncan Murray’s remix of “Gone” by Ofelia K below.

“Lover”, the 90’s-vibed latest original track from Amtrac, will be featured on Kitsune’s dynamite Hot Stream compilation. “Lover” earns its bread on a never quit house-flavored rhythm track that is impossible not to move to; mix in a neat smattering of syncopated synth lines and looped vocals and “Lover” has all the pieces and execution for an A+ track. Into it.

“Riding the L” is the latest wildly-cinematic lounge-y fantastical jazzy-horn-entwined funk-centric Chicago-street-vibe-imbued tune from B3 new-fave artist Flamingosis (a.k.a. Aaron Valasquez); a tremendously talented New Jersey artist who we recently showcased for his excellent tropical-beats infused Brazillian-funk doozy called “Momento”. As per usual Flamingosis, we adore the song! Reviewed by Erin Shay.

We’re caught up in the deeply-centering hand-percussion-tempered beats and booming-radiant marvelous-whimsical synth-influenced dynamics of new track “Gold” the latest dance-friendly sweet-wonder instrumental from Tours-born Paris-based house producer and Roche Musique label owner Kartell; who we covered in May for his supremely sultry and melodic beat-expansive deep house original entitled “Attracted” (off his June-released “Tender Games” EP).
