UK D&B journeymen Brookes Brothers put an A+ new spin on Nero’s latest. BB’s production choice has elements of classic D&B in it but it’s certainly not pure to that genre. There’s bit of drumstep, pop, and rock weaved through there too. Top shelf stuff. We are into it. Give it a spin below.

“80 BPM” by Belgian trio Dalai Lama Renaissance is a simple & smooth slice of beats, far-off atmospheres, and soul. What probably separates “80 BPM” and DLR from the mountain of similar sounding submissions we get on the reg is that soul. There’s a weight and emotive punch that not only supports but gives the track a liveliness and vitality that should keep you engaged 20-30 spins into the future.

Brainfeeder representative Teebs mixes down Shlohmo’s brill “wen uuu” track. Opting for a smooth 808-esque rhythm track and a subtly mixed sultry vocal sample (Is that our girl Tracy Thorn?), Teebs takes “wen uuu” DEEP. Look out for Shlohmo’s “Vacation” 12” with remixes from Airhead, Salva and Nicolas Jaar due Valentine’s Day.

b3sci fav Giraffage flips the script (and the altitude/gravity/planet) on Labyrinth Ear’s bouncy electro single “Humble Bones”. Selecting for a smooth, subtle, lighter-than-air mix, Giraffage pilots “Humble Bones” into a most comfortable and pleasing headspace.

“One Who Can’t Move” from Australian producer Galapagoose has all the trappings and niceties of an accomplished electronic track; it skillfully melds several genres and styles and ably blends a complex (but compositionally tasteful) arrangement. The standout element of the track though, for us, is it’s great pop sensibility. Galapagoose’s use of the Sinatra “Send in the Clowns” sample in the context of the track is really A+ stuff. Listen.

Freddy Woods is a young Swede to hone-in on for a minute. Tracks like “Not Today” and “Slow Down”, highlights from Woods’ What She Writes In Her Diary release, bring progressive elements of pop, electronic and hip hop production together with clarity.

Permanent Vacation just let loose “Destiny” the latest single from Balearic artist John Talabot’s upcoming fin record. Complementing the song’s Balearic rhythms, progression, and structure is a decidedly 90’s club feel in the track (listen to those fresh analogue-sounding wobbles in the bass). “Destiny” is the sort of track that’s 100% transportive. Trust, 10-15 seconds in and you’ll be totally hooked into the track’s absolutely magnetic, next level, atmosphere.

Stumbeleine pulls the lights all the way down on this new mix for Submere’s “Kowai”. Stumbleine’s choices transform the 3 A.M. after hours club feel of the original into a world-beating/soul-wringing atmospheric track that reminds at times of Burial.
