Panama – Jungle (GXNXVS Remix)

panama

B3 fave producer GXNXVS (Genius), who recently remixed Theophilius London’s banger drum-inspired Kanye-produced dance track “Tribe” into a strikingly effervescent cool-as-rain R&B jam, wows us again with a beautifully simple bass-driven syrupy r&b mood-altering spin of B3-lauded Panama track “Jungle”. Amazing vibes. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Beach Baby – Limousine

beachbaby2

“Limousine” is new from B3SCI Records alums (now signed to Handsome Dad) Beach Baby. “Limousine” which is out November 16th, takes a bit more muscular edge to initial tracks “No Mind No Money” and “Ladybird” riding a construction of beefed up rhythm guitars, broader in sound drums and a little more monochromatic melody. It’s a cool swerve in sound for the band who are very obviously primed for major success.

KYLE – Remember Me (Feat. Chance the Rapper)

kyle

Kyle’s SMYLE album is due out today and it couldn’t be more highly anticipated. Kyle posted another single on Tuesday to his Soundcloud “Remember Me?” featuring Chance the Rapper. It’s a soft hitting piano beat that shows Kyle’s sensitive side, which I hope to find more of on the album’s other tracks. Reviewed by Jake Goldstein.

Go deep with the deeply-saturated immense-proportioned bass-driven technicolor-synth-accented intensely-focused soundtrack-ready techno thriller “Transgender” by an artist new to B3 called Schmutz, also known as Conor MacParland and Kristian Woods. New one “Transgender” is the title song off the Irish producer duo’s 3-track raw analog-driven late-night-club dance-centric “Transgender” EP. Reviewed By Erin Shay.

“Let You Go” is the new track from Toronto producer River Tiber (a.k.a. Tommy Paxton-Beesley) which stands out as extraordinary for its vibrantly gorgeous soft and sensual heart-felt r&b vocals, fun creatively-styled bubbly accent beats and lovely piano-led accompanying instrumentals. “Let You Go” is out on Canadian label Arts & Crafts Records.

Tom Misch – Clapclapclap

tommisch

We last covered B3 favorite, London multi-instrumentalist producer/vocalist Tom Misch for his Jordan Rakei-vocaled neo-soul-bented song “Wake Up This Day”. Give a listen to his newly released funky rhythm-centric instrumental gem called “Clap Clap Clap” for a vivacious-synth-layered hand-percussion-infused sonic pick-me-up that excels in that nicely-understated instrumentally-stunning Tom Misch style which we dig so much.

Acclaimed LA artist, producer, and composer Flying Lotus teams up with Seattle rap set Shabazz Palaces and LA-bred multi-genre bass player/singer Thundercat for a new collaboration called WOKE; which according to Fly Lo in an interview with Pitchfork was named for the trio’s feelings on “dreams and stuff and astral experiences”. We’re into the eclectic-star-packed project’s very vibe-y mood-drenched atmospheric first single “The Lavishments of Light” which showcases Parliament-Funkadelic legend George Clinton.
