Jamie Isaac – She Dried

Jamie Isaac She Dried

“She Dried” is the latest bit of brilliance from UK singer Jamie Isaac. A simple but heart-wringing melody wrapped around a winding piano figure; “She Dried” stands out, additionally, on the sophistication of its arrangement – rises of vocal harmony and electronics build and ebb w/ excellent pacing and a highly talented sense of theatrics. “Blue Break” is the new EP from Jamie Isaac and it’s out March 24th.

B3 faves Gold Fields spin more remix magic (the GF crew has become one of our favorite remixers) on one of the best tracks of 2013, “Vulnerable” from breakout candidate Tinashe. On the mix, Gold Fields select for a soft-touch vocal house approach merging feel good vibes with beach side beats.

Gilligan Moss – Choreograph

Gilligan Moss - Choreograph

I feel ya Chicago. Being born and raised in Chi-town and enduring the brutality of those snowstorms, sub-zero tempuratures and winds truly does suck at times. But cheer up to this new track from one of your own. Chicago’s Gilligan Moss creates a happy landscape full of life and warmth. Considering that this is the second single from the artist, of relatively unknown status, I will be anxiously waiting the next one. Reviewed By Brian Litwin

Khushi – Phantoms

khushi

We loved UK indie artist Khushi’s infectious debut single from the fall “Magpie”. “Phantoms”, the lead track from Khushi’s upcoming first EP of the same name, has more of the thoughtful lyricism, romantic/engaging melodies and breakout quality that made “Magpie” so great. The “Phantoms” EP is out March 4th on Laissez Faire Club Records.

Beat Culture – Drifter (SAINT PEPSI Remix)

Beat Culture Saint Pepsi

The ineffable SAINT PEPSI, who tore up the indiesphere earlier this month with “Mr. Wonderful”, debuts a sunny disco-leaning mix for our very own B3SCI Records single “Drifter”. In exchanging the Psychic Twin-featuring “Drifter”‘s choppy drum stabs and vocal slices PEPSI a/k/a Boston College student Ryan DeRobertis selects for a “he just turned this thing around 360 degrees” melange of smooth, buttery, yacht-day grooves. Turnt it up.

BABEL – Life Of Eve ft. Låpsley

Life Of Eve ft. Låpsley

Låpsley, fresh from her breakthrough single “Station” from a couple weeks ago, links up with Belgian producer BABEL for a soothing bit of heavy on mood/atmosphere deep house. That we all love, BUT THEN, there’s this sax-driven break that crashes into the track at around 2:20 and pushes “Life Of Eve” into a fifth or sixth gear of sorts that is just simply euphoric. “Life Of Eve” is excerpted from BABEL’s “Matthew I” EP.
