We’re loving this new stylistically-varied but seamlessly blended edit of The Neighbourhood’s current “Afraid” single by new producer out of Denver StéLouse. Very well done.

The consistent Flight Facilities branch it a bit from their recent run of (great) nu disco tracks w/ the new more minimalist synth-focused but still excellent “Stand Still” featuring Parisian singer Micky Green.

The Rihanna-sampling “Pour It Up (Free Honey)” is new from L.A. producer GDNA. The genre of molasses-dripped late night R&B remixes is quite the saturated one, “Pour It Up” is, from little subtle instrumental flourishes to the track’s unique broader texture, refreshingly inventive and interesting. Well done.

“Try It Over”, new from Melbourne-based Yujen, features a fresh mix of spaced-out electronics, deep water depth-charge beats and the pillowy croon of B3 fave Chet Faker on vocals. “Try It Over” is the title track from Yujen’s upcoming debut EP on Mr. Faker’s Detail Co. label.

Method Records lets loose a crazy collab/line-up in the form of the infinitely cool & funky “Together” featuring of the moment vocalist Sam Smith, UK dance it boys Disclosure and the legendary Nile Rodgers (and some dude called Jimmy Naples whom we even googled but came up with no identity for). “Together” (besides sounding awesome) sounds just about what you might expect a Disclosure, Sam Smith, Nile Rodgers collaboration sound like, dope a f.

We’re digging the dark modern pop of UK newcomers P A N E S’ “Choice Errors”. The nods to current R&B, hip hop, UK bass music are obvious on “Choice Errors” (and part of the track’s appeal) but their subtle and spun into the track as components of a whole sound palette rather than “modern music checklist boxes” to tick.

More than just a new track, “Honey Heart” comes to us today from Justin Boreta of famed EDM group Glitch Mob — serving a specific message for the masses. The song is a Soma x Charity: water exclusive, and completely unique in that Boreta pulled cues of vocal samplings and beats amongst locals, school children and sounds of nature while on a journey to Ethiopia this past spring. Along with Soma Co-Founder Mike Del Ponte, they chronicled the tribulations of the basic necessity for clean drinking water in impoverished nations (have a look at the video below). “Honey Heart” was thus born, the track itself reflects a progressive statement for the EDM mainstream counterculture, world-music tones soar throughout the track’s universal language of contemporary dance music. “Honey Heart” was released today via Soma and for every download of this track, Glitch Mob will donate 50% of proceeds to help build a water well in Cambodia through this partnership with charity: water and Soma. Please support the cause and purchase “Honey Heart” here.

We likey. Your principals here are German producer Alex Brandt and Red Mystery’s oft-remixed (but not quite like this or this neatly) “Jetlands”. The syncopations in the rhythm track that reveal themselves when the horn line drops in ~2:35 are next level.
