GAIST – Damage

gaist

Get lost in the jumbo-sized techno-crazy bass-line groove and ubiquitously full-throttle metallic percussion of new track “Damage” from an artist called Gaist. At just over 9 minutes long the track is a sonic black hole of perceptions and profoundly moody sonic sentiments. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Zak Abel – Say Sumthin

zakabel

In February B3 covered top-talent singer-songwriter Zak Abel for his refreshingly-soulful Rudimental-esque Joker-produced debut-EP track called “Alchemy”. We’re completely into his vocals yet again on new track “Say Sumthin” which is Zak Abel’s newest Kaytranada-produced creation which (in our eyes) beautifully expresses his catchy songwriting appeal and rising-star-potential cheery sugary-sweet melodic Rudimental-esque style vocals. Of course we also love the retro-vibe synth-y emotive strings-led ethereal-ambient instrumental handiwork of B3 fave producer Kaytranada. Great collaboration. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

mrlittlejeans

We’re very pleased to premiere Turbotito (Filip from Poolside)’s electric new remix for Mr. Little Jeans’ “Waking Up”. On the remix, Turbotito selects for a kinetic swirl of technicolor synth and an infectious patter of rhythm buoyed by neatly placed syncopations. Spin the B3 Premiere of Turbotito’s new remix of “Waking Up” for Mr. Little Jeans below and if you’re on the West Coast look for MLJ in a town near you during the month of November.

Awir Leon – Wood

We just discovered the sweet-nuance new-wave vibes of a song called “Wood” from Amsterdam producer (new-to-B3) Awir Leon which is #4 off the Nowadays-Jayfly tape. We’re totally into the track’s incredible mangle of moody atmospheric synth tones and superb emotive-broody vocals (which remind of David Byrne). Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Midnight to Monaco – Suicide (Jerome LOL Dub)

midnighttomonaco

We recently fell for the sweetly flippant dark-poppy attitude of “Suicide” the bold and immensely catchy brilliantly cheerful (a surprise in light of the name) recent debut single from artist duo Midnight to Monaco (Canadian singer Ricky Ducati and LA-based producer Donnie Sloan). We also appreciate the totally incredible moody-sensuous synth-led instrumental remix of “Suicide” from LA producer Jerome LOL; who we think beyond excels for his heavily-stylized spaced-out natural-percussion-touched melodic-cosmic atmospherics and well-chosen selection of peppy-toned ambient-vibe background vocals. Great remix! Reviewed by Erin Shay.
