LZRS TXN (Lazarus Taxon) is the newcomer duo of Austin-based producer Evil Earn and Boston emcee and singer Francis Sobotka. Debut track “Let It Go” turns about a space house instrumental frame fit to Francis’ contemplative bars and hits for us stylistically somewhere between mid-career Lupe and The Foreign Exchange. Stream the B3 Premiere of “Let It Go” from LZRS TXN below.

B3 new fave HW&W rep’d artist Baltimore producer/beatmaker Rashad Tek Williams, also known as TEK.LUN, outdoes himself on new jam “Where I Was Born” a luscious and whimsical dynamic-dub-infused sweeping-energetic synth-y mood changer which we dig immensely for its vintage vibe vocal sample and wacky-discombobulated set of prolific mismatched beats.

“Something Inside” is the debut track from Liverpool band WHEN I AM KING. Judging from the track’s sophisticated writing and arranging, “Something Inside” is the work of a very talented crew. Consciously modern R&B but constructed in a way that sounds fresh, “Something Inside” is a caliber of track that demands attention and notice. So very good.

We adore the brilliant funked-out trumpet-washed simplicity of new track “Funky Style” the second joint-production between New York rhythm and culture duo Break Science and Chicago solo artist Manic Focus. The song, which showcases B3-recent feature NYC funk band Lettuce, is a well-composed lulling-meld of hooky dance-friendly instrumentals matched up beautifully with a super-catchy sample of A$AP Mob’s “Trillmatic”.

Brighton band Kudu Blue return today with excellent sophomore track “Fallin’ Away”. The follow-up to great debut “Bones”, “Fallin’ Away” operates in a similar, high level vein; where a more progressive state-of-the-genre instrumental ably frames a melodically strong/very accessible pop/dance vocal. It’s a potent mix. Listen to “Fallin’ Away” below.

London-based Adriatic deep house duo BluBird, also known as Damjan Jovic and Tadej Gujt (DJ Dey), turn in a radiantly-spun guitar-laced indie-dance-y nu-disco radio-rip called “Wake Up” which we dig for its infectiously-chipper expansive-vibrant happy-go-lucky warm-natured attitude. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

That’s some great melodic writing, isn’t? “Janet” is the A+ debut track from Berhana. Frank Ocean? Miguel? Those are indeed a couple of the influence points of reference bloggers are likely to throw around this guy but something here feels new and very special. We’re into it.

Superbly picturesque track. Reviewed by Erin Shay.
