LA male-female duo Kisses (Jesse Kivel and Zinzi Edmundson) put the vibes on with a soulfully-captivating heart-felt piece of dark-infused 80’s-styled horn-filled funk-pop called “Control”; which is the second track (following the pair’s recent awesome disco-infused A Groove) to release off the duo’s “Rest In Paradise” EP that is out on October 9th.

Zone out to the sweet-natured chipper-vibe guitar-led tropical-consistency pop-sensibilities of London indie foursome Flyte on their lyrically-complex new one dubbed “Eloise” which (especially in the vocals) reminds us of a modern variant on an early Talking Heads vibe. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

A new artist to B3 called Tamper turn out an outstanding tepid-paced down-tempo-cover of Santigold’s new classic “Disparate Youth” which we especially like for its brightly-simmering softly-building stretched-out synth-inspired temperament and gorgeous slowly-unthawing mesh of electro and dub-tinged accents. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Philly duo Moosh and Twist just dropped new single “Way Too Long” and its dope. The track comes off like two songs in one with a switch up in the production towards the middle; the beat itself is otherworldly mashing up varying sounds that come together in a truly unique way. The next level is in reach for this hip-hop duo; just wait. Reviewed by Jake Goldstein

Take a warm-atmospheric cinematic spin on the rhythm-centered quiet side with B3 fave artist Moon Boots on his new mellow light-touch end-of-summer boogie-down-subtle dance-edit of Dayton’s superb street-vibey best-of-track called “The Sound of Music”; which the heavy-hitter producer Moon Boots created in honor of his recent residency launch party at Verboten Nightclub in Brooklyn (that also featured Garrett David and Kenny Dope).

Techno-leaning Soundcloud style-setter XLR8R scintillates our ears with yet another brilliant drawn out bass-heavy masterpiece house-pick called “Loft Groove” which stands out for its artfully-robust multi-faceted deep-into-the-under-layers far-out mesh of beat-driven sounds and textures. The track, which we appreciate in full for its dancey funk-centric beats, sultry-heated-vibe bass-line groove and contrasting two-toned vocal accents, is the artful production of Birmingham house/techno/disco producer Adam Shelton and comes from his new three track “The Shining Path” EP which is out now via One Records.

Jazzy chords well placed in the context of a great pop song is a well-loved conceit at B3. The latest grande example of the styling we’ve found is “White Gloves”, the plainly beautiful new rainy day track from Texan band Khruangbin. Wow.

Oooh yes. We like this one very much. “Salt” is the new track from B. Miles also known as Brenna Miles. Styled around dramatic hushed guitar chords , Ms. Miles’ warm and magnetic vocal, and washed in pitch-perfect tension and atmosphere, “Salt” is a track that we absolutely adore. Listen.
