Keep Shelly in Athens – Flyway

Keep Shelly in Athens - Flyway

We continue to be rather impressed w/ Keep Shelly in Athens latest troth of new music and inventive latest single “Flyaway” is no different. Built on a creative bit of vocal loop manipulation and the Tracy Thorn-esque melodic choices of singer Sarah P, “Flyaway” is another very strong track from the Greek duo. The band’s Cascine-released debut At Home is scheduled for a September 17th release.

Drake-The-motion-Sango-remix

Our bro Drake gets a remix from one of our favorite artists of the moment in really in genre, Sango. The Detroit-native selects for a very Drizzy-friendly after hours melange of 3 A.M. vibes and down keyed beats that we’re absolutely loving. Sample Sango’s mix for “The Motion” below.

Joel Compass – Astronaut (Henry Krinkle Remix)

joel compass astronaut

Newcomer (& new favorite) producer Henry Krinkle mixes down Joel Compass’s “Astronaut” to its deepest, most soul-wringing rudiments. Somewhere between spell/incantation ripped from the earliest human communications and the current sound of indie R&B, Krinkle’s remix well complements Joel Compass’s visceral and very modern vocal stylings. Joel Compass’s “Astronaut” EP is due September 9th on Black Butter.
