“Take”, the new collaboration between KHAI and vocalist CYN has the component parts (big anthemic chorus, magnetic vocal boy-girl vocals, instrumentally new/progressive/different arranging) to be a major breakthrough for both artists. Listen below.

We’re digging the sexy-sultry mild-trap-y hip-hop beats-driven r&b-vocals-dipped electro-effects-laced “Back It Up” a beautifully-heated slow-burner tune from LA-based duo THEY who recently released their short yet very impressive bright- guitar-touched Mind of a Genius-rep’d debut EP “NU Religion” (which also includes the insanely-catchy lead single “Motley Crue”). Keep your ears peeled for more from this uniquely fashioned versatile multi-genre-straddling dynamo duo who are one of the best new acts we have heard as of late. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Zone out to the beautiful transcendental far-out trance-y-lulling dampened-beat-tempered soft-piano-led melodic-vocaled atmospheres of Brisbane, AU beatmaker-producer Feki on his gorgeous luminously-effervescent new single “Quiet Minds” which features the amazing-promising vocals of a mysterious and talented songstress called Emily. According to Feki the song is inspired by the idea that “silence is beautiful thing, but it is often intentionally blocked from our lives because we choose to avoid reality. Sometimes in order to find the truth, we need not run from the quiet, but rather embrace it”. Despite this advice, the dynamically inspiring, lovely and alluring new gem “Quiet Minds’ is decidedly on repeat. The track is out October 16th via iTunes. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

We’re intrigued by the chipper-tempered spacey-shimmery synth-loaded effects and fabulous scattery-paced dance-centric disco-boogie vibes of “Say” the catchy new stand-out pop track from Cash Wednesday, a mysterious new artist that is rumored to be B3 favorite versatile-talent man-of-the-moment Skylar Spence (who we last covered here recently for his Prom King EP track “Cash Wednesday”). Either way we totally look forward to hearing more music from Cash Wednesday! Stay tuned. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

We recently covered SoCal-based producer/beatcrafter/DJ and Soulection artist ABJO for his absolute-scorcher beat-centered R&B-melodic Nami Ramo flip called “Honey”. We’re also into the mismatched-discongruent mosh of moods and beats on “The Midnight Kid Returns” his sensational new synth-spun tune which samples “Human Nature” from one and only MJ.

English shadowy-r&b-centered psychedelic-pop-leaning muted-atmospheric electronic indie rock four-piece band Glass Animals (who have also previously teamed up with the likes of other odd match hip-hop recording artists Rome Fortune and Chester Watson) joins forces with B3 fave Brooklyn-based hip-hop street-flow-dynamo Joey Bada$$ on the excellent new Yellowman-sampling stunner called “Lose Control” which we highly recommend for its artful brew of colorful dramatically-slow-going electro effects and phenomenally dynamic Joey Bada$$ dominated vocal musings. Great collaboration. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

On the heels of her THC-produced early-90’s hip-hop vibe throwback track “Candy Salad” the ever-entertaining LA artist Doja Cat takes the cake with her new freestyle “Men Like Lavender”, a slow burning morose-moody scratchy-melodic tune which is packed with sentiment. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Last year B3 featured Perth, Australian live electronic trio Crooked Colours for their excellent visceral-melodic soul-inspired third release “In Your Bones”. We love the group’s new ultra catchy synth-driven slow burner vox-enhanced neo-techno gem track called “Step” which captures a upbeat dance-centered edgy vibe while still remaining quite chill. If you are lucky enough to be in the area, Crooked Colours head overseas for the first time this month to perform at Culture Collide Festival in Los Angeles and CMJ Music Marathon in New York. Excellent tune. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

We showcased Flamingosis recently for his scratchy-vocaled horn-accected jazzy-tropical-lounge-inspired hip-hop stunner remix of “OG Bobby Johnson” (by Atlanta rapper Que). Tune in on his excellent new tropical-beats infused Brazillian-funk doozy called “Momento”. We recommend Flamingosis as exceptional for always delivering on versatile jazz-rich instrumentals, lively-inspired tropical-beats and stupendous good feels. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

The Fleetwood Mac in the year 2015 sounds of “Lonely Tonight” is the b-side to London duo Anteros’ self-titled (yes, their first track is called “Anteros”) debut single. On “Lonely Tonight”, reverbed guitars, a warm female alto and rainy-day soul/70’s-fidelity sonics create an engaging bit of platform for a very strong tune.
