Vindata – Getting Away (Feat. Mack)

vindata

We like the shimmery piano accents, expressive quietly-centered tropical vibe hip-hop-beats and bass-grounded synth-heavy expansive-backdrop production style of LA electro duo Vindata on their new EP debut track “Getting Away”; a sparkling poppy-atmosphered radio-ready breathtaking-Bjork-style-vocal-ed gem which features the impressive talents of singer-songwriter Mack. “Getting Away” is the first single to release off the pair’s forthcoming “Through Time And Space” EP which is out August 14th via OWSLA.

JackLNDN – All I See

jacklndn_001

We love the potent dance-driven beats and instrumentally posh vividly-stated deep-house dance vibe of UK producer JackLNDN on his brilliant new synth-heavy Ultra-rep’ed piano-driven dance-epic called “All I See”. LNDN (who B3 recently featured for his brightly-laced beat-driven dance-centric original hit ”Firing Line”) just released “All I See” in time to get the party moving again before he hits the Pagoda stage on August 7-10th at British Columbia’s Shambhala Festival. We think the house-ballad all-encompassing anthem-dynamic style of “All I See” is a congenial new-release hit to unleash on the festival-scene crowd. If you are lucky enough to be attending BC’s Shambhala Fest, we think JackLNDN is a must see performance. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Leo Kalyan – Silver Linings

Tune into the profoundly-adorning r&b songwriting, piano-led melody and quietly-laid sensibly-subtle beats on “Silver Linings” the delicately-voiced ultra-contemporary EP-namesake track from new B3-artist fave London-based organic-beat-maker and singer-songwriter Leo Kalyan. “Silver Linings” is Kalyan’s third track to drop in about a month off his new “Silver Linings” EP (which is out today). Gorgeous song! Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Ambassadeurs – Looking At You (Moods Remix)

Veteran beat-maker/producer Moods, a.k.a. Dutch artist Nick Moods, turns in a sweetly captivating synth-led boogie-funk-swaggered dance-centric fix of “Looking At You” the sultry-paced radiantly-sublime deep-atmosphered Ambassadeurs (“Patterns” EP) track which we recently featured here on B3.

Vic Mensa – Codeine Crazy

Chicago’s own Vic Mensa has been killing recently and, with songs like “U Mad” featuring Kanye West, it’s hard to not see how. On new track “Codeine Crazy”, Vic shows off a great and soothing vocal over a beat worth getting stuck in your head. Reviewed by Jake Goldstein.

KYLE – King Wavy (Feat. G-Eazy)

Ever since Kyle’s first album came out, Beautiful Loser, the SoCal rapper has been one of my favorite artists. Kyle just dropped 3 new songs (incl. the G-Eazy-featuring “King Wavy”) that are dope and unique in their own way. Take a listen, none disappoint. Reviewed by Jake Goldstein.

abhi//dijon – Wait

abhidijon

Go deep with the beautifully-layered sentiment-drenched vocals, trap-beat-inspired tempo and exquisitely stylized hip-hop beats/r&b hybrid production dynamics on new track “Wait” from producer/singer duo abhi//dijon, also known as Abhi Raju and Dijon Duenas; an immensely talented R&B act that we last featured for their voluptuously magnetic beat-poppin’ new jam “ECS”. The Maryland duo, who we have not heard from in awhile, are back-in-the game with a fresh new NPR Music-featured track that (as per their very excellent usual) entices and charms our dreamy slow-jam sentimentality and has us wanting to hear more abhi//dijon. Fortunately, new one “Wait” is the first single to release off the duo’s upcoming (no details yet) “Stay Up” EP. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

HASEEB & Curtiss King – Deep Gritty (Feat. Freeway)

In conjunction with their not-yet-released joint project called The Daisy Chain, Cali MC/rapper-producer duo HASEEB and Curtiss King team up for a sweetly rhythmic melodic-guitar-laced street-vibe-rep’d dark-hit stunner hip-hop jam “Deep Gritty”; which revels in a pleasantly-palleted soft-atmospheric vintage hip-hop vibe and felicitous array of lushly-delivered raw-surfaced vocals (featuring the raspy-toned rhyme n’ flow of vet Philly rapper Freeway). New track “Deep Gritty” (which includes flowery gritty-sensed cover artwork created by HASEEB) is the second single to release off the collaboration’s upcoming new “The Daisy Chain” EP (which has an unknown release date at this point). Great track! Reviewed by Erin Shay.

We recommend the amazingly-simple gunner-paced trap punctuation vibe of new track “If Its Gold I Love” the new WoodysProduce-produced r&b original which features the distinctively lovely whispery-Whitney vocal sentiments of Austin songstress Mélat, off her recently released multi-producer-showcasing EP, “It Happens So Fast”.

Icona Pop – First Time

Stockholm darlings, Icona Pop bring us back to the sweet-teen-rebellion dog-days-of-summer with their infectious pop-driven anthemic-hooked new track “First Time” which scores a thumbs up on our B3 scale of catchy-formulaic radio-hit ready rapid-ascender mid-summer jams (to blast from the speakers of your car so people think you are cool). “First Time” is off the pop duo’s new “Emergency” EP, out now. Turn it up and get silly this one is totally for fun! Reviewed by Erin Shay.
