One of the hottest emerging names in the indie dance space Saint Pepsi adds his signature “velvet touch” to “Nevermind the End” by BK artist Tei Shi. With “Nevermind the End”, SP selects for a warm mix of soothing synth atmospheres and comforting vocal layering; a perfectly concocted elixir to de-stress with. We’re into it.

Oceaán’s self-titled debut EP is shaping up to be a really handsome offering. This latest cut ‘Turned Away’ is pushing in the same direction as the likes of Ben Khan – with it’s engulfing swirl of vocals wrapped around a melay of percussion and distorted synths that leap out of the mix like solar flares. The entire package will be released March 31st on Chess Club Records and this world will be all the better for it. By Nathan Hetherington

Madeon, the fresh-faced wunderkind (or I guess in this case “enfant prodige”?) of French house drops today an unreleased demo recorded several years prior. The high energy track, however, sounds entirely fresh somehow; indicating (by its release if anything), a fresh direction from one of the dance genre’s best talents/prospects/hopes.

Airling is the new solo project of Australian musician Hannah Shepherd (ex-Charlie Mayfair). “Ouroboros”, Hannah’s first release as Airling, skillfully blends an ethereal lighter-than-air vocal w/ a low touch from 40,000 feet instrumental. We love it.

New York meets New York. Neon Gold trio Wet has been putting the internet on blast, with their smooth, refined sound. They recently tapped NY- based producer Branchez (who has also been putting the internet on blast) to remix their single “Don’t Wanna Be Your Girl”. Somehow, young-gun Branchez puts even more feels into this mix. Chopping up the borderline haunting/beautiful vocals and building a behemoth of a flip, this track makes for a near perfect mix.

Songwriters have the most infinite canvas to create art. Within that vast amount of space, most artists tend to pack as much sound as they can within 3 minutes or so. With his space, Oscar Key Sung from Melbourne has etched out a perfectly shaped R&B jam in “Holograms.” From the incredibly round and full bass hits, to the unbelievably smooth synth lines and vocal melodies, this track is an absolute thing of beauty. Even sneaking faint birds singing to each other in between the valleys of bass hits at 00:58, OKS could do no wrong. Reviewed by Brian Litwin

New and from our friends across the pond, Jungle has release their first XL Records single and it reminds us of why we fell in love with this London duo in the first place. “Busy Earnin'” drips of soul and groove from the very first notes struck via horn section. It fits immediately in their self carved formula of short, sweet, and exploding with electronic soul — and of course extremely catchy. Reviewed by Brian Litwin

New Harvest (Banks, Arthur Beatrice, Together Pangea, etc) signees Young & Sick debut the kinetic & soulful synthpop of “Glass”. Sophisticated without being self-important, idea-loaded and ambitious while still maintaining an ease and cohesion “Glass” is indie pop of the highest order and demands your attention ASAP. A++

And the blogosphere went “sheeeeeiiiittt”. Back in March of last year, everybody’s favorite looks like his name is misspelled R&B star Jeremih collab’d w/ hoodie-wearing languid dark instrumental chief Shlohmo for “Bo Peep” which blew up The Internet, won a Grammy, and became Pharrell Williams’ favorite song. The S & J combination are back w/ “No More”, a grimy moody bit of neo R&B that will put the serious-face head-nod on just about any music bro. We’re into it.
