“You” is the latest song to drop via the forthcoming and second EP from The 1975. The closing track on the Manchester collective’s Sex EP, “You” couldn’t be an any more appropriate climactic conclusion with it’s melodic climb to the top of the world. It’s an anthem of the most telling sort. We recently had the chance to chat with The 1975 about their forthcoming EP, debut album in the works, R&B inspiration and more, you can check out the Q&A in full here.

If you know b3sci, then you we rep our city (CLEVELAND) all day. Suicide Squeeze signees and 216 band Gap Dream have been on our A rotation list for a little while now. The band is starting to make a bit of noise among the big kids of online music press (Pitchfork, Spin, etc) with latest (and awesome) cruncher single “Generator”. #sundaycrunchers

“The Edge” from German duo Robosonic is AWESOME. Most of all it’s DIFFERENT & INTERESTING, two commodities very valuable indeed in this lane of music. The clever use of varying interpolations of Dr. Dre’s “The Next Episode” throughout the track is really some next level shit. Do not miss. Doff of the hat to our EMPT cousins for the tip.

Nashville via Cape Town band Civil Twilight released their second LP Holy Weather back in March. Now reloaded with a remix EP at the fore, the band looks to expose their indie rock and roll-friendly sound to new ears. The standout of the six-track EP is Ra Ra Riot’s dance pop take on “River” which succeeds on its clever reimagining of the original instrumentation and a lights out new spin on the song’s chorus.

PAPA’s “A Good Woman Is Hard to Find” EP was one of our favorite releases from last year. Here, the LA-based act dials up the great writing and feel for melody and rhythm to an even further degree with new track “Put Me to Work”, the first single from the band’s due early 2013 full length debut. 100 % psyched and behind this one.

This Great Lakes four piece describe themselves as “a dreamy boy band from WI that cries often.” Well, cry a little less boys because your quietly pensive cover of “Electric Feel” is really really good. The MGMT cover is one of ten tracks featured on Haunter’s spinworthy debut LP which you can sample here.

Collaborative supergroup Apparatijk presents Canadian singer songwriter Lowell in her highly anticipated debut mini-album If You Can Solve This Jumble, out on October 29th. “Shake Him Off” is well textured and enthusiastically dark with Lowell’s experimental pots-and-pans percussion (pre-recorded in her Toronto bedroom) and sharp empowering vocal mantra. Also be sure to check out her homemade outsider art video below. By Erin Feathers

Manchester based electro producer TCTS recently released his 1997/Like This EP on Bondax’s new label, JustUs. While both tracks are playful and fetching enough to receive BBC radio airplay, the ultra sheik title track “1997” stands out for its synthy disco highlights, funky frolicking baseline, and brightly laced R&B style vocal duet. Give it a listen. By Erin Feathers
