“Jukebox Dreams”, new from L.A. band The Rebel Light, excels on its strong melodic rudder (for real, try not getting “I fell for you, I got a love that’s comin’ true” line in your head) and cleverly derived warm 60’s British pop familiarity (imagine something like Peter Noone from Herman’s Hermits giving you a great big bearhug).

We’re digging the dark modern pop of UK newcomers P A N E S’ “Choice Errors”. The nods to current R&B, hip hop, UK bass music are obvious on “Choice Errors” (and part of the track’s appeal) but their subtle and spun into the track as components of a whole sound palette rather than “modern music checklist boxes” to tick.

The Bo Saris train kept a rollin’ w/ new track “Little Bit More”. Stylistically, “Little Bit More” falls in a lane with the sort of new school blue-eyed soul espoused by artists like Mayer Hawthorne or Fitz and the Tantrums. Driven by hooky percussive piano and Saris’ all guts tenor, “Little Bit More” is soulful and pleasantly nostalgic without being silly or pastiche. Bo Saris’ “The Addict” EP is out now on Deram/Universal.

More than just a new track, “Honey Heart” comes to us today from Justin Boreta of famed EDM group Glitch Mob — serving a specific message for the masses. The song is a Soma x Charity: water exclusive, and completely unique in that Boreta pulled cues of vocal samplings and beats amongst locals, school children and sounds of nature while on a journey to Ethiopia this past spring. Along with Soma Co-Founder Mike Del Ponte, they chronicled the tribulations of the basic necessity for clean drinking water in impoverished nations (have a look at the video below). “Honey Heart” was thus born, the track itself reflects a progressive statement for the EDM mainstream counterculture, world-music tones soar throughout the track’s universal language of contemporary dance music. “Honey Heart” was released today via Soma and for every download of this track, Glitch Mob will donate 50% of proceeds to help build a water well in Cambodia through this partnership with charity: water and Soma. Please support the cause and purchase “Honey Heart” here.

We likey. Your principals here are German producer Alex Brandt and Red Mystery’s oft-remixed (but not quite like this or this neatly) “Jetlands”. The syncopations in the rhythm track that reveal themselves when the horn line drops in ~2:35 are next level.

Metabeats collab w/ Action Bronson from last year “Hookers”, gets a “cocaine on the marble floors” 80’s-leaning “VIP” remix from one Metabeats himself. Too cool.

German producer Doc Daneeka’s latest Walk On In leads with one of those warm “Boiler Room” or “Jamie xx” style jack beats and builds (with perfect tension-building aplomb) a sharp blend of vocal loops and dynamic shifting synths. A+ track.

Aussies via L.A. Miami Horror announce the very nice new synth pop single “Colours In The Sky” on Neon Gold. The follow-up to the also quite strong “Real Slow”, “Colours In The Sky”‘s quality is indicative of a band w/ their arrow pointed firmly up.
