AZEKEL’s trajectory continues to point decidedly upward on the visceral and forward thinking R&B of the just melodically out of this universe “Chronophobia”.

“There’s No Love” is the new single from French Express resident space traveler Moon Boots. Infectious and very much in the style that Moon Boots has seemed to fashion and carve out for himself, this house track will no doubt be included into playlists around the world. Check for Moon Boots and the French Express crew currently touring the UK and soon playing select cities in the states with Henry Krinkle. Reviewed by Brian Litwin.

“Blame” is UK artist Tropics debut track for Innovative Leisure (Rhye, Badbadnotgood). “Blame” is simply stunning. The track realizes much of the potential promised in Tropics’ earlier more free-flowing and obtuse work as “Blame”s improved qualities mark it as the focused sound of an artist just entering his prime. Rapture is the forthcoming album from Tropics and its out February 17th.

UK singer Tara Priya’s “One Foot Out” is a dynamic melange of Portishead-y mood, Morricone-esque instrumentals and (most importantly) at its center a very very good modern soul song. If you’re in London, catch Tara Priya at Birthdays in Dalston on the 24th.

“See Me” is the follow-up to Tei Shi’s Hypem #1 “Bassically”. Produced by Luca Buccellati and Dave Bayley of Glass Animals, “See Me” sits at the nexus of several diverse yet complementary styles (modern indie, dub, R&B, Scandinavian pop) and conveys an excellent stylistic foil to “Bassically”s palette and tempo. “See Me” is out now on Double Denim (UK) / Mermaid Avenue (US).

Anonymous UK artist(s) Fine Print make B3 debut on the dreamy soft touch R&B of “About You”. Fine Print’s track sits very much within the scope and realm of 2014 dance indie/R&B whatever you’d like to call it but excels in the originality department through its forward thinking arranging (hints of house and balearic-y elements creep in the mix) and unique instrumentation (try throwing a saxophone solo over “future beats” and not have it come off as hokey). 10/10.
