Synkro keeps it real (and then some) with this transportive and ultra soothing remix of sincere-to-the-core track “Night Time” by The XX. We’re charmed by his electro garage touch as this dude artfully dispels a vocal melancholy with a light and progressive series of carefree beats and tones that may leave your heart trembling. Check it out! By Erin Feathers

The Hives blew their Coachella crowd away this year, and their Lex Hives album will drop on Tuesday. I don’t think it will go down as their best, but it starts out with 69 seconds of hotness. Come on and check out “Come On!”

“Lady” by tUnE-yArDs, Angelique Kidjo, Ahmir ‘?uestlove’ Thompson & Akua Naru is not just a mouthful but quite the earful too, in a good way of course. This interesting collaboration pulls together African singer Angelique Kidjo’s and Merrill Garbus of tUnE-yArDs’ vocals with rapper Akua Naru and The Roots’ drummer ?uestlove for a blinding re-make of “Lady” by the Nigerian Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti. What’s more – this is just the first track from the forthcoming album (RED) Hot + FELA as part of an AIDS awareness initiative. To support the course you can download Lady from the iTunes link below.

Big Sean takes the lead on the latest to surface from Carter’s forthcoming I Am Not A Human Being 2 album. Or is that tonally the other way around? Does it matter this track is hot.

Theo keeps heading down the road of an outside-the-box head space with this new Twin Shadow produced track from his forthcoming Rose Island release. The new collab “Golden” yields as much new wave, coastal beach vibes as it does hip-hop r&b. (PS – you know somewhere down the line there had to be some discussion about adding a steel drum somewhere on this track.)

We love this. New duo Roane Namuh & Reva DeVito offer up something-fresh a take on RnB and soul. There’s a chemistry on their latest Cloudshine release. The album track “Frozen” is especially drenched in sultriness with a digable nod to the ’93 Top 15 (Billboard 100) “Rebirth of Slick”. Cloudshine is available to stream at their BandCamp. Give it a spin thru.

Bay Area MC, K. Flay will be rolling through Santa Monica this Friday night for a special set at Central S.A.P.C. Her current national tour, of which includes sets at Bonnaroo and Summerfest, and press from the likes of Elle, Rolling Stone and Billboard, plus her native mid-west work ethic, have all culminated to a bit of a buzz around the lady indie/electronic rapper/producer. As if that’s not exciting enough, b3sci fave Colin Monroe will also be performing on the bill that night. In fact, the two recently colloaborated on a track together called “Your Eyes” (check it out below) which has been pumping out our stereo for the last week now.
We’ve got some free tix to the show for a few of our lucky SoCal readers. To win just email us here and let us know that you want the K. Flay hook up! We will pick our winner at random on Friday, day of the gig. You can get additional details on the show at Central S.A.P.C. Good luck!

Martin Solveig just dropped this live 25 piece orchestra version of his smash “The Night Out”. This tune has longer legs than they make pants. Even at that we still can’t get enough.
