Brighton male-female duo True Noir capture our utmost attention with their lightly-treading sense-saturating charmer melody on “Creation” a lovely slightly-hazy golden-edged guitar-tinged ethereal beauty which is richly-laden with the sort of profound emotive power that makes it a potent candidate for a movie soundtrack. Excellent dynamic! Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Earlier this year B3 covered the impeccable modern pop style of UK singer-songwriter RHODES on “Turning Back Around” the excellent single from his debut “Wishes” EP which is out on September 18th. We like RHODES’ latest (totally breathtaking) installment from the EP called “Let It All Go” on which RHODES joins forces with remix-darling BIRDY. Recently premiered as Huw Stephens’ Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1 new track “Let It All Go” is a quietly-enamoring standout-timeless pop-ballad which deeply and artfully showcases a beautifully-simple soft-percolating raw-emotion chaotic-harmonic male-female artistic cohesion that might just land the track on some singer-songwriter best-of-lists for 2015.

“Eat Your Friends” is an immediately-catchy melody-tempered r&b-vocaled deep-house house jam from Barcelona’s sexy-anonymous producer legend TÂCHES which captivates our sentiments in deep with its fun-loving percussion-led late-night-dance-grind background dynamic, incessant subtle-hued baroque-reverb-y bass-line and the sonorously-sultry sweet-magnetic r&b-slick vocals of LA-artist Shoffy (who is new to B3).

Take respite in freshly-spun vintage-inspired sonics of the delectably danceable dream-pop atmospherics, harmonic-repetitive melody-laced vocals and trippy-fantastical synth-driven disco-tinged trimmings of new track “Never Gonna Take You Back” from LA multi-instrumentalist duo Satchmode off their upcoming August-release “Afterglow” EP (which features the mixing skills of Grammy Award-winning sound engineer Robert Orton).

Berkshire UK native Woodson Black a/k/a Haux channels pinpoint modern pop songwriting (think Ben Leftwich or Aquilo) through the frame of sweeping and stunning electronic instrumentation.

Fall into the deeply unique whispery-soulful sense-drenched vocals, stunning quiet-array of relentless beats and beautiful dank-centered under layers of new track “Arum”, the latest bass-led CYGN-tinged jam from French beatmaker-producer duo Workers (off their new recently released beats-trap infused “Pollen” EP). Reviewed by Erin Shay.

We dig the slow drying bold-ethereals and wild centerlines of new track “Paint” in which producer Mikezilla expertly meshes a draconian-sleek metallic-vibe dub sub-current with the superb slow-paced Kid Cudi-esque rapper calm of LA artist Shon Hayes. Awesome track. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Get caught up in the snappy piano-led atmospherics, melodic vox-enhanced summer ooze and superbly-sensuous sun-drenched breezy feels of “Summatime Fine” the picturesque new r&b-juicy smooth-jazz-inspired collaboration between Cali-native producer/singer/songwriter Mars Today and B3 fave esta. (a Soulection artist who excels at creating a sultry atmospheres adorned with a sweet-sexy appeal that we are currently vibing here at B3). Reviewed by Erin Shay.

We like the positively electric vocals of London songstress Kenzie May on “Wide Awake” the new Vindata track which artfully celebrates a particularly bright and bouncy atmospheric and warmly tantalizing chime-toned background melody. B3 recently covered the LA electro duo for their breathtaking Mack-sampling Bjork-style-vocal-ed gem “Getting Away”. Both tracks are a lead in to Vindata’s forthcoming “Through Time And Space” EP, which is out via OWSLA on August 14th. We look forward to it. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Minneapolis-based Carroll has crafted a hazy summer jam worthy of airplay across all alternative stations in the country. “Alligator” is an immediately tangible indie-psych rock single that instantly sets you into a trance.

Get into the far-out stratospheric beat-centered calm and overtly-catchy mellow-vibed simplicity of “wiw-16tp” a vibrant new soundscape from LA-based veteran electro DJ/production duo Classixx (a.k.a. Tyler Blake and Michael David) who have not released much since their debut “Hanging Gardens” EP which was out a couple of years ago. We covered the duo in 2009 and still dig their signature spacey ambient-based quiet-side sound and are pleased to see Classixx (presumably Tyler Blake) headlining a DJ set at Denver’s Cloak & Dagger music festival on September 19th along with Four Tet and Lido. If you are into a spaced-out techno-lounge dynamic be sure give a listen to “A. Ohana” the beautifully robust bass-laden recent-release a-side track from Michael David’s new solo act called Studio Paradiso (which is out via new label Distant Works on August 24th).
