Brb, just sailing into an Ibizan sunset. Barcelona quartet Oso Leone return after five years with “Virtual U,” a dreamy, sun-drenched, R&Balearic delicacy. Warm electronic keys meet… Continue reading

The groove is real. On “Design,” Berlin-via-Wellington-via-Auckland-via-Montreal musician, drummer, DJ, and visual artist Julien Dyne opens with a gritty, Theo Parrish-ish beat loop and shimmering piano punctuation before melting it… Continue reading
Khruangbin meets a Money Mark instrumental meets early downtempo Bonobo. Like many of my favorite musical moments, “After Midnight” by London’s Skinshape takes its cues from when the late… Continue reading
Melbourne (what is it with the inordinate amount of musical greatness that emanates from this city?!) nine-piece 30/70 Collective come correct with the feel-good, soulful bounce of “The Strut.” Track of… Continue reading
A perfectly charming house groover from the Wolverhampton, UK producer duo of Richard Roberts and Andrew Harber, collectively known as Letherette. Track of the day. Letherette – “Rayon” … Continue reading

I’ll be honest, it took me a while (as in a couple of minutes) to fully get into this brand new track from HudMo. I couldn’t help but notice how the… Continue reading
The last time I wrote about Portland, Oregon-via-New Zealand lo-fi psychedelic-indie-soul outfit and band-name-you-would-probably-find-somewhere-in-an-anime-movie Unknown Mortal Orchestra was back when they covered Lindstrom’s spacey and disco-y “Rà-àkõ-st.,” which was and still is amazing in every… Continue reading

I cannot get enough of Paul Woolford‘s Special Request project; inspired by the glorious heyday of early 90s jungle and UK pirate radio transmissions. After remixing Lana Del Rey, London Grammar, Tessela, and Friend Within under the Special Request… Continue reading
Spencer Stephenson is Botany. Hailing from Texas, he blends synth washes with a collage of blurred bleeps, overcooked chimes, and ominous bells, all woven through a pleasing boom-bap beat. “I tried to evoke… Continue reading
From the Pash’s new album Gossamer out July 24. Like stuffing your face with cupcakes while driving incredibly fast. And just as fun.
