Lawrence, Kansas based beat-wizard, Morri$, let fly an interesting track via FADER the other day, and it’s just too good to not share. “Ladyboy” is smooth with sporadic drums, consistent horn lines and a bouncy synth chord progression. The bass hits hard and the vocal samples are placed ever so delicately throughout the song. Having caught his opening act for Gaslamp Killer at the Central SAPC in early December of last year, Morri$ is proving to be something of a force both live and in the studio. By Brian Litwin

“Pinecone” is new from Bay Area soulstress Kacey Johansing. Melodically styled more in the lane of torch song jazz or even classic Southern soul, Ms. Johansing on “Pinecone” takes her time with the tune; let each note breathe up and out into the mix. Arranged with some beautifully atmsopheric harmonies and an instrumental that we’ll make you feel as if you’re floating somewhere just off the Golden Gate, “Pinecone” winds and ebbs, sways and flows like any great story (or Sunday afternoon in The Bay).

French Express artist Moon Boots has most recently dropped the track “No One”. At first listen, it sounds like another stellar dance number from the ethos of the space minded DJ. He uses consistent themes from his previous works on this track, but pays particular and special attention to the vocal. Moon Boots has a small run of European dates later this month, and we’re hoping to see more U.S. dates later and in the coming summer months. By Brian Litwin

Check out the otherworldly as bathed in the sweetest, most syrupy molasses (think a more modern sounding Mazzy Star) of Dresden, Germany act Sea of Love and their track for “My World”.

Check out “14 Februari” a beautifully arresting re-interpretation of Aunt Sade’s (Happy Birthday btw) classic “I Never Thought I’d See The Day” by Swedish act Houston. Expect a full length from Houston later this year.

The DJ’s responsibility is to get the crowd moving. Mike Simonetti takes this quite literally. His alias Billions & Billions (with vocalist Monty Luke) actually tells you to dance throughout “The Dance”. You can’t help but listen and enjoy his directions and rants alongside the uplifting beat. Don’t girls love a man that can get them to shake their bodies to music? You like how I wrote that, yeahhh.. By Teddy Pendergrass

Moodgadget labelmates Foxes in Fiction and Benoit Pioulard connect on the sweeping “Ground Glass”. The track, part of a limited 7″ being released by Wool Recordings, combines the two principal’s love for blending traditional pop song structures and field recorded sounds. The results of the collaboration, as evident here by the dreamy otherworldly warmth of “Ground Glass” are next level. “Ground Glass” is some of the most beautiful music we’ve heard thusfar this year.

Denitia Odigie continues to impress the b3 team with new track “Weekend”. Driven by jazz-inflected guitars, quiet storm rhythms, and a overall breadth to the track that sounds almost analogued to latter-day Radiohead (the picked arpeggios, the deep in the mix glacial vocal harmonies) “Weekend” is an absolute do not miss track.
