Get familiar with the warmly-lit spacey-interstellar sunny-sensed synth-chord-heavy indie dance vibe of LA producer Jamie Prado on his slow-building beat-driven cosmic-ambient new one “Hit Em Off” which we think excels for its smoldering bass-line undercurrent and simple syrupy-mesh of hip-hop soul-touched male-female vocals.

Jazzy chords well placed in the context of a great pop song is a well-loved conceit at B3. The latest grande example of the styling we’ve found is “White Gloves”, the plainly beautiful new rainy day track from Texan band Khruangbin. Wow.

Oooh yes. We like this one very much. “Salt” is the new track from B. Miles also known as Brenna Miles. Styled around dramatic hushed guitar chords , Ms. Miles’ warm and magnetic vocal, and washed in pitch-perfect tension and atmosphere, “Salt” is a track that we absolutely adore. Listen.

We’re into “Something Else”, the inventive new bit of rhythmic pop from South London duo Lightboxes. “Something Else” with its layered rhythms, instrumentally spare aesthetic and pinpoint alto vocal remind us (in a very good way) of Little Dragon’s best. The duo compose a unique live performance dynamic, singer Donna Thompson doubles as Lightboxes drummer and her songwriting partner John Atterbury plays upright double bass. Listen to Lightboxes impressive debut below.

LA-native Gavin Turek (who was hand picked by Mayer Hawthorne to be a vocalist on his new B3-lauded joint project Tuxedo) teams up with longtime collaborator B3-blog frequent LA deep-house-guru TOKiMONSTA for a new brilliant track called “Surrender”; which we enjoy immensely for its superbly-balanced dance-centric bongo-induced instrumental temperament, sultry-precise r&b vocal style and beautiful human-interest unconditional-love-will-prevail infinite-artistic-creation message. For us the dynamic duo rate at a fresh 10 out of 10 on poppy compatibility with “Surrender” which has us keen to hear the lot of their new seven track soon-to-release (August 28th) mini-album called You’re Invited that is out via Young Art Records.

“Wake Up This Day” is the newest stream from rising UK producer/artist Tom Misch’s upcoming Beat Tape 2. “Wake Up This Day” featuring the syrupy smooth vocal stylings of singer Jordan Rakei, the track spins a decidedly neo-soul bent; deviating a bit from Misch’s more typical modern vibe pop oeuvre. Beat Tape 2 is out August 28th.

Jam out to New Zealand psychedelic-soul duo Electric Wire Hustle on their ambient-expressive cumbersome-weighted new one “Brother Sun” which features an off-kilter-transverse hip-hop leaning vivid-opposite beat that meshes well with the dreamy soul-inspired emotion-stirring vocals of Kiwi B3 remix-darling Kimbra—a Grammy Award winner who we think makes the production. We enjoy the mellow disco-scratch-jazz hybrid sentiments driving the song and look forward to enjoying Electric Wire Hustle’s new upcoming “Aeons” EP out on August 28th. Reviewed by Erin Shay.
