“I’ll Be That” is the debut track online for Catford, London newcomer Jodie Abacus. “I’ll Be That” starts with an infectious, feel good, expertly-crafted set of melodies and focuses them through a wide history of R&B palette (tinges of R&B from the 70’s up through today can be picked up in the mix) resulting in an accomplished piece of very strong pop-tinged R&B. Stream the B3 Premiere of “I’ll Be That” from Jodie Abacus below.

Sweet Tiger Records member Nuve (Peruvian Jose Castillo, now based in L.A.) spent 6 months in South East Asia on vacation. While there, he collected an array of sounds and turned that into an odd, but beautiful 4 song EP called “ขอบคุณครับ” translating to English as “Thank You”. From weird clanking to distant conversation, this EP is as much a capsule of a place or travelogue as a piece of music . Ethereal and dissonant all at the same time, Nuve arrays out a collage of what his time was like traveling that part of the world. Reviewed by Brian Litwin.
