Bondax – It’s You

Newcomers Bondax are one of our favorite new additions to the UK dance scene. New track “It’s You” is a bit of a departure from the duo’s earlier more hazy-sounding work but is still a track you definitely need your ears on.

TNGHT – Higher Ground

BOOM. TNGHT is the collaborative efforts of one Hudson Mohawke and one Lunice. If you’re cool like us, you know both artists murder just about every track that get involved with; so expect “Higher Ground” to start fixing your face from the moment you hit play.

Moonlight Bride – Drug Crimes (Machines Are People Too Remix)

Moonlight Bride were an act on our must see list for SXSW this year. Of course general live festival chaos took its course, schedules crissed and crossed every which direction, etc, etc and we missed the band’s one set, that we knew of. (PS if you were there hit us up because we need to know how it was!) Fortunately the band have released a new remix collection of their Twin Lakes EP to remind us of what we missed. A standout from the collection is this expansive version of “Drug Crimes” produced by the Machines Are People Too team. Give it a looky below.

Tomas Barfod – Came To Party

Thomas Barfod recently unveiled some rad visuals for “Came To Party” off his Salton Sea LP. The Lindsay MacKay directed video does well to showcase the track’s erratic accord and deep nature composition. You can also pick up the song on a new Came To Party EP which also includes a pretty hot Salva remix.

V&K – Rollin

Any little we can find about V&K is written in french so (needless to say) we don’t know much other than “Rollin” is a pretty sick electro track, in so many ways. The track is the debut single from S-Kal Records in Paris (a label created by famous French rapper La Fouine). Preview the track below and keep an eye out for more from V&K.

GRANT – Give Me Scabies (Kitty Pryde)

Seventeen years young Relief in Abstract producer GRANT flips some smooth Kenny G and the call-out hook from CRJ’s “Call Me Maybe” on his new Beat Tape Vol. 1. I’d love to be stuck in the elevator with my grandma when this jam comes on. She’d probably get down, of course so long as she doesn’t know the track title.
