Moonlight Bride – Drug Crimes (Machines Are People Too Remix)

Moonlight Bride were an act on our must see list for SXSW this year. Of course general live festival chaos took its course, schedules crissed and crossed every which direction, etc, etc and we missed the band’s one set, that we knew of. (PS if you were there hit us up because we need to know how it was!) Fortunately the band have released a new remix collection of their Twin Lakes EP to remind us of what we missed. A standout from the collection is this expansive version of “Drug Crimes” produced by the Machines Are People Too team. Give it a looky below.

Dashius Clay – You’re All I Need (Produced By Justincredible)

Take it smooth with a dim-the-lights slow jam that runs the gamut of cool. This collaboration from Dashius Clay and producer Justincredible seamlessly meshes slick R & B style and catchy hip hop flow with lyrics that would make Usher proud. Shit is cash. By Erin Feathers

Tomas Barfod – Came To Party

Thomas Barfod recently unveiled some rad visuals for “Came To Party” off his Salton Sea LP. The Lindsay MacKay directed video does well to showcase the track’s erratic accord and deep nature composition. You can also pick up the song on a new Came To Party EP which also includes a pretty hot Salva remix.

Ryan Traster – Cruel Love

Something about a great guitar song will never go out of style. “Cruel Love” has some of those feel good vibes that can only come from a song that means anything other than feeling good. PKST (Petty, Kweller, Schwartzmans, Traster, ___ ) come on let’s get this crew together.

Ryan Traster will play his 7″ release party for “Cruel Love” on July 28th in Minneapolis, MN along with Scattered Trees. Be there.

V&K – Rollin

Any little we can find about V&K is written in french so (needless to say) we don’t know much other than “Rollin” is a pretty sick electro track, in so many ways. The track is the debut single from S-Kal Records in Paris (a label created by famous French rapper La Fouine). Preview the track below and keep an eye out for more from V&K.

Monica x Teebs – Just For You, Sideline Ho (Cyril Hahn Edit)

Cyril Hahn’s “Say My Name” remix blew us away (His “Touch My Body” edit is mint too). We can’t get enough of Cyril’s sound right now, so we did a little digging and found this ace Monica x Teebs remix from a couple months ago. Enjoy. Cyril Hahn ftw.
