Chromak - Thoughts (ft. Tato Lopez)
As first heard in his episode of My Mixtape (here), this is one of the better examples of Chromak's breadth of music ability. It is cool and groovy, and big and bold with that brass. Perfect summer tune.
Bob Moses - Heaven Only Knows
Dreamy yet dark, beautiful yet bloodcurdling. I don't know what I'm more wrapped up in, the vocals or the top notch sound design. We know the sky is the limit for Bob Moses, but this may be their best yet.
Perfume Genius - Slip Away (Mura Masa Remix)
Just another incredible example of Mura Masa's undeniable genius. The levels and layers of sounds, melodies and movement, and their intermingling, give me goosebumps. It is unlike anything I've ever heard, except it's exactly what I expect from Mura Masa.
Chromeo ft. DRAM & Jesse Johnson - Must've Been (Phantoms Remix)
A stark contrast from the previous three remixes of "Must've Been," Phantoms drive it deep into a dimly lit tunnel. That said, the funk at the core still stands strong in this stripped down delight.
Sébastien Léger - Naive / Tristesse
As I tweeted yesterday I woke up to "Lost Miracle" and wondered when we'd get new Seb, and here it is. Once again we're treated to his extended and progressive genius as "Naive" arises effortlessly out of the opening and blossoms beautifully. "Tristesse" takes a darker more demure direction, while still offering up the shimmering spirit of play that makes all of Leger's productions such vivid dream sequences.
MNEK - Colour (ft. Hailee Steinfeld)
Whatever instrument(s) it is that opens this track nails the rainbow resplendence of its title. It is a pure pop production, but one that I can get behind and groove to. A worthy companion to "Never Forget You."
Claptone - Stronger (ft. Ben Duffy)
Like Chromeo, Claptone has been on one hell of a streak with singles and corresponding remixes. This latest is a light guitar groover whose crisp cool nature and eventual bass bounce are sure to satisfy.
Joe Goddard - So Much / Human Touch
The lead track feels like the perfect combination of everything Joe Goddard, as though "Home," "Lose Your Love" and "Music Is The Answer" all became one. That said there's also a touch of Peggy Gou and "It Make You Forget" in there somewhere. I just love this "So Much." The b-side is more drum dominant, but still features the sublime synth designs that puts Joe in a league of his own. A delightful dream.
Flight Facilities - All Your Love (ft. Dustin Tebbutt)
Another track I tweeted about yesterday (here), and while I recommended Alex Metric, Aeroplane or both (Metroplane) remix it, "All Your Love" is beautiful in its own right. Tebbutt's vocals are an awesome addition leading the serene soundscape deep into your soul. Indietronic at its best.
