Whatever creativity potion/juice/tonic/elixir/drank the young Frenchman Madeon is on right now. We need to get us some of it. “The City” is brand new, it’s phenomenal, and it’s live on b3sci. Get it, girl.
Madeon – The City (Feat. Zak Waters, Cass Lowe & Jarrad Kritzstein)
Yet another winner via the stellar cast featured on OWSLA’s new Hundred Waters Thistle EP. Araabmuzik turns up his jam with a jungle clunk of a banger to the other-worldly and sultry exotica of Hundred Waters. Do yourself a favor and check out the new Thistle EP with remixes from Star Slinger, Tokimonsta and more!
A stunning vocal (c/o of Matador songstress Glasser) and a set of remarkable melodies headline Chad Valley’s latest “Fall 4 U”. Valley’s debut LP Young Hunger is due on Cascine October 30th.
Rah Rah score yet another pop rock jewel with “Prairie Girl”. The track is previewed below from the band’s forthcoming The Poet’s Dead LP coming out October 22 on Hidden Pony Records. Attitude included, this catchy tune is sure to rev-up your day in just a few listens.
Patiently crisp tones here from new Southampton collective South Pole. Complete with big choruses and a powerful vocal, “Skua” hopefully forshadows only more of what’s to come for South Pole.
Newcomer Tom Odell seems to land naturally into that tricky space of minimal yet well executed emotional pop rock. Not far from waters tread by early Coldplay, Starsailor, Jeff Buckley, etc “Another Love” delivers a subtle seriousness sans the cliches, and plus some new inspiration. Preview the track below.

Barny Carter has been producing some of our favorite night records of the year with the ambient “Park” and his remix of Sleepwalkers’ “Rear Window”. The 22 year-old multi-instrumentalist out of Bristol, who is piano technician by day and musician by night, fuses home-made samples, cut-up beats and atmospheric synths for his own climate of sound. Having already earned notoriety from the likes of the BBC, the young Carter is making many lists as one to watch. His debut EP titled Still Life drops on August 28th via DryCry Records. Get an exclusive sneak peak at it below!
M00N is the latest from Supreme Cuts & Haleek Maul’s upcoming collaborative mixtape Chrome Lips. A definite improvement over first single “Dummy”, “M00N”, which samples King Crimson’s “Moonchild” (King Crimson, still the shit), bangs, clangs & smangs boosted into stratospheric heights via some pretty fresh sounding SC atmospherics.
The great “Skirts” by The Other Tribe gets re-focused through the lens of a “dance party on the space-shuttle” by London producer Eat More Cake. Big track.
The gorgeous (and we stress gorgeous) “Wounded Melody” by new UK electronic act Face+Heel (in a very 2010’s turn, the duo met on Soundcloud) is one of the best tracks of the month and maybe the year. On “Wounded Melody”, a wall of just really beautiful sonics supports a rhythm track of really excellent kick/snare cut-ups, that and the vocal sampling which is 100% not of this world. Listen.
