Last month we featured “I Think You’re Alright” the opposite side track from Jay Som a/k/a SF’s Melina Duarte’s new 7″ for Fat Possum. We dig the reverb-set “Rush” and it’s strong chorus hook. Listen to “Rush” below.

The Hypem hitmakers SOFI TUKKER fire another potent sortie in the form of big rhythmic track “Awoo”. A vaguely Latin syncopated piano line sets the aesthetic for “Awoo” as danceable layered drums and a rhythm-heavy main vocal further build out the track’s force and effectiveness. Stream “Awoo” below and look for the “Soft Animals” EP on July 8.
Melbourne AU act Fortunes turn in seriously impressive new stream “Angel”. Very accomplished melodically (the track reminds us a bit of Raheem DeVaughn or even D’Angelo in that department) and expertly framed-up by a spare set of 808’s and cycling loops of vocal and additional rhythmic samples, “Angel”‘s emotive impactfulness is enormous and immediate.
High-steppin’ dames with high-soundin’ names. There ain’t nothin’ they could show her.
The B3SCI Records alums POWERS stream first single from forthcoming debut LP for Republic. “Sunshine” walks a neat aesthetic line in blending current mainstream pop structures (that “Sunshine” “baby it’s true” hook has major crossover potential) with cool forward-thinking arrangement elements (that flute hook! the unexpected gospel-y bits, etc). We dig “Sunshine” and you can stream it below.
Previewed below is “Surplus”, the latest from Philadelphia artist Kenji. A component part of Kenji’s debut “I’ll Think Of Something Better” EP, “Surplus” floats a-top a wash of cooled-out post-Sade electronics and a humid summer’s night aesthetic. We are into it.
“Missing You” is new from New York-residing producer Wingtip. The feel good track rides a clap-driven rhythm, warm weather synths, and a head-nodding looped vocal refrain “missing you, missing you…”. Get cool with Wintip below.
Freshly signed to Fat Possum and just completed a run of dates with Whitney , Indiana quartet Hoops announce s/t EP with dreamy guitar-driven new song “Cool 2”.
The UK purveyors of sharp elements-swept indie pop stream new track “Memory House” from forthcoming “Roman Roads” EP.
