The grimy “Black Pancakes” is the latest release from Irish rapper Reijie Snow. The follow-up track to Snow’s recent Rejovich mixtape, “Black Pancakes” school of Madlib instrumental does well to complement and support the Dublin rapper’s menacing but also oddly anodyne soothing flow and diction.

The Rihanna-sampling “Pour It Up (Free Honey)” is new from L.A. producer GDNA. The genre of molasses-dripped late night R&B remixes is quite the saturated one, “Pour It Up” is, from little subtle instrumental flourishes to the track’s unique broader texture, refreshingly inventive and interesting. Well done.

Brighton kids Lion Bark (all members of the band are between ages 20-23) make their B3 debut w/ the very nice “Longhorns”. Featuring a neat mix of UK/post-punk-styled guitar and rhythm and frontman Guy Bangham’s (which is a breathtaking rock and roll name) subtle but affecting croon, “Longhorns” is a standout and is firmly indicative of band on the definite up.

“Try It Over”, new from Melbourne-based Yujen, features a fresh mix of spaced-out electronics, deep water depth-charge beats and the pillowy croon of B3 fave Chet Faker on vocals. “Try It Over” is the title track from Yujen’s upcoming debut EP on Mr. Faker’s Detail Co. label.

Method Records lets loose a crazy collab/line-up in the form of the infinitely cool & funky “Together” featuring of the moment vocalist Sam Smith, UK dance it boys Disclosure and the legendary Nile Rodgers (and some dude called Jimmy Naples whom we even googled but came up with no identity for). “Together” (besides sounding awesome) sounds just about what you might expect a Disclosure, Sam Smith, Nile Rodgers collaboration sound like, dope a f.

The skillfully-constructed bliss pop w/ hooks of the GEMS “Ephemera” is the D.C.-based duo’s best track to date (which after the near perfect “Medusa” is quite a take). The band’s new “Medusa” EP dropped on Tuesday and if you haven’t secured yourself a copy you should sort that out ASAP/immediately.
