Premiere: Fickle Friends – Shake Her (POSTAAL Remix)

ficklefriends2

POSTAAL a Franco-British producer splitting time between Paris and London infuses the sonic oeuvre of both locales into new mix for Fickle Friends. Selecting for darkly current UK space-bass and merging that with a brush of warm French-inspired synth sonics, POSTAAL’s mix adeptly crosses several musical idioms as well as international borders. It’s cool spin on the FF sound that we dig, check out the B3 Premiere of POSTAAL’s remix of Fickle Friends’ “Shake Her” below.

Towkio – Heaven Only Knows (Feat. Chance the Rapper, Lido & Eryn Allen Kane)

towkio

Towkio is an up and coming hip-hop artist out of Chicago whose latest mixtape .WAV Theory attracted some big names of which Vic Mensa and Chance the Rapper are only a couple. My favorite track is “Heaven Only Knows” because its smooth and catchy John Legend-inspired hook very well compliments the Lido-produced beat and of course for Chance’s killer final verse.

Premiere: Kamikaze – Velvet Ghetto

kamikaze

We’re very pleased to premiere “Velvet Ghetto”, a the title track from Swiss band Kamikaze’s forthcoming EP on Mouthwatering Records. Reminding of the progressive R&B and jazz-tinged pop of bands like HONNE and Jungle, “Velvet Ghetto” rides an expertly produced route of inventive polyrhythms and jazzy chord changes while maintaining a cool pop tunefulness and structure. We dig. Look for the “Velvet Ghetto” EP from Kamikaze on Friday (Sept. 25).
