The exceptional “Pandora’s Box” highlights the self-titled debut LP from French band Isaac Delusion. Sounding a bit of a Francophone more direct Kings of Convenience, Isaac Delusion mix layered, straight to the gut/feet rhythms and pop-sensible tunefulness in a manner that is instantly magnetic. Isaac Delusion is available for purchase now on Cracki Records. (HD)

Midland the cinematic house project of producer Harry Agius. The London-based Agius’ latest track is the string-driven, should be the soundtrack to a car-chase, deep house of “Before We Leave”. The single edition of “Before We Leave” is set for a July release via Phonica White.

Producer/Guitarist for Misun Nacey rings up a strong single with the Angel Haze-featuring “I Own It”. A sharp mix of Mad Decent-styled bounce and pop radio-relevant hooks, the way fun “I Own It” is simply excellent. Look for “I Own It” out now on Casablanca Records.

Astronauts is the solo project of ex-Dark Captain Light Captain singer Dan Carney. “Skydive”, the new venture’s lead single is a neatly executed merger of modern low-touch electronic beats and folk musicality tied up in beautiful compact sets of vocal and instrumental melodies. Hollow Ponds, the debut record from Astronauts, is out July 21 on Lo Recordings.

Just in time for the latest in recycled Sam Smith features to get pushed at American radio in trying to break the talented Englishman; the fast rising and friend of B3 producer StéLouse (with an assist from UK producer Curious Kontrol) debuts a fresh & robust new flip of “Latch”. Replete w/ beefed up drums and fortress-like synth patches, SteLouse & Curious Kontrol outfit “Latch” with enough newness and reinvention to make a serious play for big room summer playlists. Check our premiere of SteLouse and Curious Kontrol’s remix of “Latch” below.

SBTRKT is back with another fantastic single featuring the soulful baritone of Sampha. The duo have been writing and creating internet faves for some time now and “Temporary View” is does not stray too far in quality from those past hits. SBTRKT’s beat and synths stylings are right on point (“Temporary View” appeared earlier in the year on SBTRKT’s instrumental “Transitions” EP) ; while Sampha’s lyrics and crooning beautifully weave right through what is hopefully a preview of more to come (new album?) for the London producer.

The rising UK singer/songwriter/producer AZEKEL debuts another impressive track in the stylistically vast bounce of “New Romance”. Bridging melodically cooler pop tones maybe in the vein of London Grammar with less obvious swerves into more under the radar UK bass elements in the track’s instrumental, AZEKEL continues with “New Romance” to ably stretch his sound.

“20 Years Tall”, the speak-verse/killer chorus track from L.A. via Utah band Sego, is the band’s maiden single. The chaotic yet nicely syncopated opening guitar and bass hook on “20 Years Tall” is maybe its best asset aside from that aforementioned great chorus. Sego is band worth keeping an eye toward as “20 Years Tall” is indicative in its writing quality of a band with definite and serious potential.

We were on this kid early and look at him now! Synth wiz/your favorite DJ named after a water sport takes a trippy spin on the perennial indie/hipster favorite Foster The People’s “Best Friend”. This official remix merges the smooth edges of the Aussie Wave Racer and the great hooks of Mark Foster and to create a whole new and quite unexpected spin on the track.
