Here is the latest from the French Express astronaut, Moon Boots. Fusing tropical disco with house, the low key producer has done it again with “Love Strong”. The consistent use of the different synth patches, mainly the xylophone, are really setting him apart from other producers of similar caliber. Keep ’em coming Moon Boots. By Brian Litwin

MØ’s run will not stop. “Waste of Time” is the latest in her unblemished record of worldbeating electro-pop tunes. It’s MØ, no doubt, but “Waste of Time”‘s engine is gassed up on a few different types of sounds; namely some very sultry guitar leads and stuttering hip hop-schooled drums. Right, as if you need any more from us, anyway, it’s MØ, get to it.

Ah, Fenech-Soler, welcome back, boys, welcome back. “Magnetic”, the new signal from the band’s, September 2nd-due sophomore LP Rituals is no doubt the strongest track we’ve heard from Fenech-Soler since maybe “Lies”. Try not shouting out “It’s a FEeeeeeeeling” at 1:44 when the second chorus comes in. Yes, by chorus two you’ll be hooked; “And I neeeeeeed it”.

German artist Orae’s far-off soundscapes, as heard here on “Green & Fog”, are a favorite around B3. The mix of great melodic writing, transportive exotic sounds & a particularly strong penchant for track dynamics & drama make Orae one not to sleep on on this side of the Atlantic.

On new track “Games”, Munich’s Claire distill through neatly-constructed synth pop an interesting mix of sounds and influences for the genre. Touchstones from house, to urban music, to more traditional pop are all assembled here, and done so in a way that’s both different (a standout song in a currently crowded genre) and tuneful (there are three of four melodies here that could be a chorus.) A++

Previewed below is the track “Early Bird” recovered from the deepest oceanic depths and excerpted from the Paris-based artist’s “Cruising” EP. Featuring the blissed-out hushed vocals of fellow Parisian Julia Losfelt, “Early Bird”‘s late night pelagic creep is an excellent close to an excellent new EP.

The anticipated sophomore album from East-London quintet Chapel Club is titled Good Together. The band’s return welcomes their appetite for innovative pop music. Although, frontman Lewis Bowman’s baritone and the band’s guitars have been checked-in for a medley of analog synthesizers and samples. Good Together was recorded at a self-built studio in Los Angeles with producer Tom Biller and you can almost feel the disco psychedlia glitz of Hollywood’s recent decades throughout the band’s exploration of pop on the album. Chapel Club have also released a new video for their next single, “Shy.” Sample both the album and video below and be sure to pick up a copy of Good Together on June 3rd via Ignition Records.

Right, Get with B3 and get in that SOUL HOLE w the hero Nasty Ill Brother S.U.G.I.. Spoilers: the soul hole sounds a bit like if Dilla (R.I.P.) and FlyLo linked up got really high and then put re-runs of Alien Nation on the VHS. (which sounds pretty awesome to us, OK). Get thee to the soul hole.
