We continue to be rather impressed w/ Keep Shelly in Athens latest troth of new music and inventive latest single “Flyaway” is no different. Built on a creative bit of vocal loop manipulation and the Tracy Thorn-esque melodic choices of singer Sarah P, “Flyaway” is another very strong track from the Greek duo. The band’s Cascine-released debut At Home is scheduled for a September 17th release.

Our bro Drake gets a remix from one of our favorite artists of the moment in really in genre, Sango. The Detroit-native selects for a very Drizzy-friendly after hours melange of 3 A.M. vibes and down keyed beats that we’re absolutely loving. Sample Sango’s mix for “The Motion” below.

We’re digging the melodic reverb-drenched indie rock from newish band High Hazels. The UK-based group will release single “Hearts Are Breaking” (which you can sample here below) as part of a new 7″ for Heist or Hit Records on the 7th of October. Well done.

Casket Girls is the new project of Black Moth Super Rainbow member Ryan Graveface. On single “Holding You Back”, sunny late 60’s style melodies veneer an underlying creepiness/sinisterness that reminds of one of those horror movie scenes where the little girl is all alone on the squeaky/creaking swing just as she’s about to get devoured/scarfed up by the Wolfman monster or whatever. “Holding You Back” is part of a special cassette-only release from Casket Girls due September 7.

Newcomer (& new favorite) producer Henry Krinkle mixes down Joel Compass’s “Astronaut” to its deepest, most soul-wringing rudiments. Somewhere between spell/incantation ripped from the earliest human communications and the current sound of indie R&B, Krinkle’s remix well complements Joel Compass’s visceral and very modern vocal stylings. Joel Compass’s “Astronaut” EP is due September 9th on Black Butter.

The names on the marquee here, Bondax & Joe Goddard should take care of most everything you need to know about this new dance floor gem; but for the curious, Hot Chip/2 Bears anchor Mr. Goddard mixes in that special transatlantic house shine to the Bondax boys already great “Giving It All”. Be cool w/ the track below.
