9752c

Nobody beats BASECAMP. The Nashville trio wow’d us last year with tracks like “Emmanuel” and “Rydia” and took the upper reaches of the Hypem charts with their recent remix for Sia’s “Chandelier”. Here, Chinese producer Howie Lee outfits BASECAMP’s latest hit track “Shudder” with a modern electronic instrumental textured with hints of house. Enjoy the B3SCI premiere of Howie Lee’s remix for BASECAMP’s “Shudder” below and look for a new EP from the band later this year.

COMPNY – Something to Give

compny2

The anthemic yet restrained (a very potent combination) “Something to Give” is the second half of COMPNY’s debut AA-side single with “Begging Me to Come Back”. The melodic quality and high-level caliber of arrangement mark of “Something to Give” again mark COMPNY as a band with considerable talent and promise. “Begging Me To Come Back/Something Had To Give” sees a release September 15th on 203 Recordings/Believe Recordings.

George Maple – Talk Talk

georgemaple2

The new Future Classic single for the month, and possibly one of their best releases to date, comes from a familiar face in Aussie songstress George Maple. “Talk Talk” is everything you’d want from this newest Future Classic signing. With what sounds like a little help from label-mate Flume (unconfirmed) on the beat, the pulsing bass over mesmerizing synths of “Talk Talk” really catches the ear. George Maple’s EP “Vacant Space” is due out in October. Reviewed by Brian Litwin

Premiere: Rökkurró – Blue Skies

Blue Skies

Icelandic band Rökkurró strike a majestic and cinematic-styled bit of dark orchestral pop on brand new single “Blue Skies”. Taken from the band’s forthcoming album – the follow-up to 2010’s Í Annan Heim which spent over 100 weeks in the Top 30 of Iceland’s album charts, the wistful and emotionally precise “Blue Skies” was recently explained thematically by singer Hildur Kristín Stefánsdóttir, “The lyrics talk about fulfilling your dreams and the fact that these dreams can die, if you don’t nurture them. I was having a bad day and had this feeling of when things are slipping out of your hands. I noticed that the dress I was wearing had a blue skies pattern on it and it straight away inspired me to write this line: “Blue skies, all your dreams are dying, blue skies, come and bring them back to life.” It was an instant reminder of how you sometimes just need to snap out of it and remember that blue skies are always there.” We’re very pleased to premiere “Blue Skies” below.
