The Lana Del Rey train rolls into b3sci station with a new track and vid for “Blue Jeans”. Lana’s got the weight of the female powerhouses of 60’s pop, the space/atmosphere of a Mazzy Star, and the sultriness to eclipse’em all. Give “Blue Jeans” your attention below.

Rae could rhyme over something like a 9th beat in his sleep. Fortunately, The Chef is focused on “No Pretending” and brings his A-Game. Big Remo slips in a tight 16 to close the track. Look out for 9th’s The Wonder Years LP, due Sept. 27.

Our man Shook flips the script on Ellie’s latest. Taking it coast to coast, first with a bit of east coast swing on the now jazzed up bass track and then a little wild west with the yacht-smooth synth flourishes. Lightspeed.

Swiss mix man Cee-Roo flips Talib & Saadiq in the mix on this excerpted track from his new “Beatz N’ Rhymes #5” Mixtape. Cee-Roo tips a nice groove on “Make Me Feel Good” twisting up Saadiq’s golden tenor to Talib’s rapid fire rhymes.

Just when you thought “You’ve Got the Love” was done, that it couldn’t possibly be remixed again…. Enter this heater by 19-yr old Leeds UK producer Jaggz. We’re into it. Jaggz flips the mix souping it up with monstrous colossal synths and pulsing floor-filling beats. p.s. Most definitely check out Jaggz’ Soundcloud, wall-to-wall bangers.

ATL producer heRobust flips the script on KP & Envyi’s one-hit wonder 90’s jam. Ever the conservationist, heRo dutifully preserves the refs to “Tenderoni”, “Swerving”, and “Physical Action”. Word.

Denver artist Forever Kid flips the Metric track. This rad mix features some pretty top shelf melodic inversions and beat switches. Emily Haines, yes, we accept, we will marry your voice.
