Voyeur – Blame It On The Youth

UK electro duo Voyeur fuse that thump groovin’ base, harmonic subtlety and jazzy piano chord accents with a sensual balmy affect, and smooth sultry vocal punchline for a slow unfolding dance floor grinder on “Blame It On The Youth”. This rapidly emerging deep tech house producer/dj collective best known for their artfully infused remixes recently released this debut original track on MadTech records. Turn it up ya’ll and git balmy. By Erin Feathers

Singer-songwriter George Barnett brings a melodic sincerity and heartfelt wisdom to a exceptionally fresh cover of “Ride” by Lana Del Ray that the 18 year old Brit recorded and produced himself. Props. By Erin Feathers

Broken Hands – Brother

British rockers Broken Hands recently released their live Quadrangle Session EP this October and subsequently hit the road with Deaf Club early November for an abbreviated UK tour. The band are relative newcomers to the UK music scene and they have a full-on, jangly sound with tons of rock and roll charisma (landing them a tour with Band of Skulls) and thus a live presence that hints at something great. Check out the contagiously bubbly debut single “Brother” for its sweet and easy melodic buildup, true-to-form sing-along quality and just that perfect touch of the blues. “Sorrow” another favorite is off the live EP is a raucous track with an edgy kick, booming style and saucy guitar grit. We are definitely looking forward to more solid material from this promising quartet from Kent. Give it a listen. By Erin Feathers

Ballet School – Ghost

Belfast band Ballet School’s excellent “Ghost” is the latest UK rock obsession around b3sci HQ. The airtight rhythm section/melody dynamic in the track anchors a sharply delivered floats-on-top-the-mix female vocal sat up on hook upon hook upon hook. TLOBF

Ultraista – Gold Dayzz (Maribou State Remix)

This cosmic re-do of Ultraista’s “Gold Dayzz” is the latest in a string of really good (beautiful) remixes from the LDN duo Maribou State. Swirling electronics, stunningly voiced vocal harmonies, and sweetly gliding counterrhythms are among well executed standout qualities of the remix. Do not miss it.

Russ Chimes – Turn Me Out

The Russ Chimes train rolls on with latest track “Turn Me Out” debuted tonight on Annie Mac’s R1 programme. The uptempo track has the feel of classic early 90’s music without sounding hokey, dated or dumb. We are into it.

Joel Culpepper – Passenger

Silky smooth soulman Joel Culpepper delivers a midtempo R&B cooler of the highest quality in “Passenger”. Excepted here from his “SkyDive” EP, Culpepper employs his erstwhile falsetto and neatly dulcet tones in varying stages to create interesting dynamics of tension and release between the track’s verses and chorus.

WU LYF – Triumph (Demo)

So it seems (at least according to a cutely worded note on the band’s website) that Wu Bro has, as a band, met the final curtain (that or they’re just being funny, we’ll allow you to decide). With the note was posted the unreleased “Triumph” which you can stream below (you can also read singer Ellery Roberts’ note below too):

“Evans/Joe/Tom

I am gone. This isn’t the end. This is the begging.
We done business to be as free as we want to be; I’m exercising this freedom. Manchester and the life we maintaining is leaving me empty. It is a beautiful/ incredible/ insane world we live and I’m done walking round in baby step circles in a self involved bubble. WU LYF isn’t that important. So go do what you want to do. If you wanna play together, Play! your talented musicians so don’t waste that. I am bored of the most challenging thing in WU LYF being deluding myself of its relevance. Dirty free, as that show ended it concreted my decision that a change has to come. “Be the change you want to see” said a wise old man.
I’m going to keep on doing what I do; if the time comes in the future where we all truly want to collaborate on something then that door is always going to be open; I have nothing but love for you all.

But I want to live life that’s true to me.

Stay safe
your Brother from another mother…

(I’m gonna stay on email so keep in touch.)”

Trashbat – Shake Em Out (Legend4ry’s Love Mix)

UK producer Legend4ry cooks down perhaps the most cooled out interpolation of The Contours “Do You Love Me” of ALL TIME. We’re getting trippy mane with Juicy J.
