We made it out the city where no one makes it. Here goes something new from our Ohio bro Bow Wow. The beat on this “Wizzle Mix” of “Alright” is off the meter. Like Bow Wow’s rhymes are alright (try and close your eyes for a min and imagine it’s not J. Cole actually rapping) but this beat….. damn. Smooth, soulful, feel good in all the right ways, “Alright” is the perfect jawn for your Sunday. Get it.

The Alabama-born Pierces own a UK top 5 and Coldplay dude-produced album, You & I. Wild. The latest release from that LP is the dark, swirling “Kissing You Goodbye”. The track, reminiscent of 60’s vocal bands like The Byrds, The Hollies, and The Mamas & The Papas, is great and, if you’re unfamiliar (American. [We had barely heard of them too.]), should serve as an excellent introduction to the band.

BANGS. “Wildflowers” by duo Made In Heights lives somewhere between multiple streams of current electronic music and early 80’s R&B, a healthy dose of that good quiet storm shit. Throw dem triangles up. (MJF)

Nigerian-born singer Nneka, of “Heartbeat” fame, returns with “My Home”, the first release from her upcoming 3rd LP “Soul Is Heavy”. The song marries a reggae-tinged feel, school of Marvin Gaye melodies, and a Chopin Nocture sample! Three seemingly disparate elements pulled together and blended with superior execution. “My Home” is a really really great track (One of our faves of the year). Sample it below.
NNEKA – My HomeRating 8.7
Much like our girl V. Williams, Thom Yorke always knows how to “save the best for last”. The final installment in the King of Limbs remix series finds one of the hottest electronic musicians in the world right now remixing KOL‘s easily best track (read: only listenable). It’s SBTRKT, it’s Radiohead, it’s “Lotus Flower”, and it’s live on b3sci.

UK rapper Sway jumps on a sample of Black Box’s early 90’s dance anthem “Ride On Time”. 12-18 months ago when this dub-infused 90’s house sound was still sort of fresh, “Still Speedin'” could have been a major hit. No doubt, it’s still a big track but is it big enough to traverse the massive fatigue going on right now over this sound. (DoML)
