Andrea – Down (Feat. Vanessa Elisha)

andrea

We’re into the infinite charms and heady-atmosphere of “Down” a beauty from French producer Andrea who creates a gorgeous soulful vibe on the track with his outstanding harmonious male-female vocal duet; which features sultry-vocaled Australian songstress Vanessa Elisha who we recently discussed on B3 for her sensational talents on B.Lewis collaboration “Down For This”. Great track. “Down” is presumably the first to release off Andrea’s “Black Magic” EP which is out on July 10th via Jakarta Records. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Yheti & Esseks – Voices In The Dark

yheti

Lose yourself in the broad depths and atmospheric experimental folds of new track “Voices in the Dark” which was created on a cold NY day by collaborative duo Yheti and Esseks; who go for a brilliant subtly-robust percussion-peppered eccentric-instrumental vibe on the track that contains a beautifully dramatic and spacey escalating synth line. “Voices in the Dark” actually reminds us of the muted and watery deeply-embedded mind-expansive sounds that come out to play on a cold wintery day. We’re into it. Reviewed by Erin Shay

We like the timeless meld of pop elements and captivating innate-sense sex appeal on new track “Anxious In Venice”, the soothing-vibe vox-enhanced gem from LA-based pop trio Superhumanoids who impress with their rad Blondie-esque vocals and juicy stunningly-expressive driving synth. “Anxious In Venice” is the first song off the group’s upcoming album called Do You Feel OK? which is out via Innovative Leisure in September.

Tiron & Ayomari – 2 Kinds

Get into the awesome percussion and scratchy hip-hop dynamic of LA-based rapper duo Tiron and Ayomari on their immeasurably catchy hand-percussion-graced track called “2 Kinds” which revels in a long-winded divinely energetic hip-hop rant style that reminds us a little of Kid Cudi. The new song is featured on the duo’s Great New Wonderful LP, out now. If you’re into drumming, scratch and percussion this one is mandatory. We love it. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

LA-based future boogie trio Cannons, who we last covered for their captivating guitar-led atmospheric gem “Evening Star”, excel again on their new twangy-guitar tickled chillwave track “Down on Love” which is tempered with a transfixing, seductively melodic synth and very alluring vocals-driven broody cheer.

Sing along with the sincere lyrics and bubbly slow-cadence vocal hook of “Youth” the decidedly catchy career debut single from four-peice band Fronteers who have indeed captured a bold-type quintessential British-rock sound that has us interested in hearing more tracks to come.

Billie Black – Hung Up

billieblack2

We’re hung up on the smashing vocals of promising young West London vocalist extraordinaire Billie Black yet again on her new mellow melody-laced piano-driven track “Hung Up”; which follows Billie’s engrossing rock steady, deeply-sultry beat enhanced track “Music Box” that we featured on the blog last week. New track “Hung Up” shines equally as bright in all its glorious simplicity and beautifully compliments the other tracks off Billie’s wonderful new “Teach Me” EP, that is out now. Enjoy!

Antony & Cleopatra – Take Me (Pat Lok’s “Yukon Funk” Mix)

antonypatlokedit

Vancouver DJ wiz-kid and producer Pat Lok (who excels at remixing new fresh-release tracks from A to B) captures our attention again with his fabulously funky, energetic new “Yukon Funk” dance edit of “Take Me” the tropical-vibe Anthony and Cleopatra new release out on Vitalic Noise. We’re impressed again by Lok’s rising-style producer skills on “Take Me” which Lok cleverly infuses with reverberations of his previous track, the brilliantly topped-out instrumental-heavy ‘Yukon Soul’ edit of Boxed In track “Mystery” that we recently covered here on the B3 blog. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

You will currently find Pat Lok on the last dates of his West Coast tour:

7/2 – Calgary, AB @ Stampede
7/22 – Washington, DC @ U Street Music Hall
7/25 – San Francisco, CA

East London singer-beatmaker AZEKEL, a B3 featured artist who we adored for his EP debut-release of syncopated track “Mad About The Boy”, turns in “Sold My Love” which is AZEKEL’s second single from his upcoming “Raw Vol. 1” EP that is out via Thunderlightning Recordings on July 12th. AZEKEL, who sports an impressive mixture of his own amazing impassioned vocals, supporting instrumental melodies and a captivating reverse-beat exit on “Sold My Love”, is up there with our new favorite UK R&B/soul tinged emerging artists in 2015. If you’re blessed enough to be at Glastonbury this week be sure to catch Azekel’s debut live performance on the BBC introductory stage Friday the 26th. Reviewed by Erin Shay.
