Lose yourself in the brilliantly-creative inexhaustibly-sprawling funk-centric synth-infused expanses of new track “Parisian Chance” a multi-dimensional bass-laden metallic-percussion-accented cosmic-cosmopolitan tech house gem by B3-newcomer versatile house producer Zifra who is also known as Electrobank. Awesome track. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Basenji – Air

basenji2

In June we featured Talented young producer Sydney-based Australian, Basenji, for his outrageously lovely percolating-beats-led stunner track “Petals” which is the first single off his August-released Future Classic-rep’d debut “Trackpad” EP. We also profoundly appreciate the new EP’s classical-instrumentals-brightened closing dazzler “Air” which we think excels (above and beyond) for its deeply-wound intrinsically-melodic glistening-chimed sparky-beat-bombarded heart-stirring-vocals-tinged atmospheric style that has divine-talent Basenji penciled in on our mental list of artists to watch in 2016. We are enthralled by your unique sound Basenji! Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Roland Tings – Hedonist

rolandtings

We’re caught up on the robustly-sparkling creatively-possesed temperatures of genre-less house-leaning Melbourne producer Roland Tings who is currently working on his upcoming 2016-release EP that is out via new label Soothsayer. We love his latest synth-illuminated enchanting-atmospheric percussion-tempered dynamic-mood-consumed metallic-percussion-imbued nature-inspired tropical-vibe-y space-disco house-based dance epic called “Headonist”, which at over eight minutes long has a long-lasting slightly-hypnotic beautifully-calmative ecstatic-vibe effect that we totally dig.

Workers – Nowhere in France

workers_001

In early August B3 showcased the deeply unique whispery-soulful sense-drenched vocals, stunning quiet-array of relentless beats and beautiful dank-centered under layers of new bass-led CYGN-assisted jam “Arum” from French beatmaker-producer duo Workers. Give a listen to their bass-heavy trap-percussion-bewitched new one “Nowhere in France”, a short and sweet shimmery-synth uplifter which we especially like for its mild-mayhem funked-out background keyboard melody. The brightly-dimensional on-point beats-drenched “Nowhere in France” is the first track off Workers‘ latest two track “Two Jobs” EP. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Feki – Quiet Minds (Feat. Emily)

feki

Zone out to the beautiful transcendental far-out trance-y-lulling dampened-beat-tempered soft-piano-led melodic-vocaled atmospheres of Brisbane, AU beatmaker-producer Feki on his gorgeous luminously-effervescent new single “Quiet Minds” which features the amazing-promising vocals of a mysterious and talented songstress called Emily. According to Feki the song is inspired by the idea that “silence is beautiful thing, but it is often intentionally blocked from our lives because we choose to avoid reality. Sometimes in order to find the truth, we need not run from the quiet, but rather embrace it”. Despite this advice, the dynamically inspiring, lovely and alluring new gem “Quiet Minds’ is decidedly on repeat. The track is out October 16th via iTunes. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Krs. – Ever Blessed

We last showcased Toronto producer, Noir Sound founder, and talented bootleg-rework style-setter Krs. for his heated and seductive deep-surface tropical-flamboyant shadowy-vibe artfully-beat-driven Demarco-inspired subtle-stinger bootleg, “Gyal Thing”. We are completely smitten with his latest “Ever Blessed” a beat-heavy steamy-sensual dance-grind-driven fun-wonder bootleg of Jamaican dancehall reggae artist Vybz Kartel. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Felix Snow – Now You See Me

felixsnow2

We just featured Kiiara and Gallant producer turned rising-star soloist Felix Snow for his dynamite-dreamy mild-future synth-y trap-beat-enhanced incandescent-atmospheric Madi Walsh-vocaled pop jam “Slow”. We really like his new beautifully textured uplifting-synth trap-beat centered track “Now You See Me” which features the radio-ready bright-talent vocals of Detroit-bred Chicago-based songstress CYN; who we last discussed in April for her stellar vocals on “Something” her swoony lo-fi beats-inspired track that was recorded on an iphone microphone. We’re thrilled with this excellent collaboration between two extremely promising artists! Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Ptaki – Termy

ptaki

The Balearic sounds of “Termy” is the latest track from Polish duo Ptaki. The song’s hushed female backing vocals, vaguely jazz-y acoustic guitar arpeggiations and a vibes back rhythm track are supremely executed here. It’s a surrealistic bit of transportative hypnosis that can just as easily translate to your office chair as it would on an Ibiza beachside.

We recently covered HW&W rep’d artist Baltimore producer-beatmaker Rashad Tek Williams (a.k.a. TEK.LUN) for his bass-laden creepy-vibe dynamo called “Shush”. Get into his latest beautifully choppy jazz-sample-laced beats-driven house jam called “Sometimes” which we dig for its soothing-expansive tranquil-hypnotic vocal vibes and vintage-excellent lovely-melodic piano-led lounge-y jazz instrumentals.
