Lana Del Rey – Blue Jeans

lanadelrey

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.

9th Wonder – No Pretending (Feat. Raekwon & Big Remo)

9th

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.

egoulding

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.

florence

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.
