Our man ANT from Oz puts a sweet spin on Madeon’s excellent track for “Icarus”. That Madeon shit is pretty mint on its own. It takes a truly top shelf mixman to go in on a Madeon track and survive it. ANT survives, thrives, and knocks that shit straight out. Result.
It would be an understatement to say that the genre of grown up twee folk is oversaturated these days. From nihiti to Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr, the niche is ablaze with artists of various levels of acclaim, which is what makes the song “People” by SF artist Tree all the more impressive. Something about the rambling lyrics and piercing wurlitzer makes me imagine some cat on a guitar outside City Lights with a tin can and a tattered copy of Naked Lunch on the pavement. This is a rare song of great feeling which doesn’t get caught up in a pretentiously grandiose statement. I dare you to only listen once.
SF dream pop producer Giraffage’s Comfort LP has the blogoverse a-talk. Deriving influence from a diverse palette of sounds and ideas and creating for a unique, excellent, cooled out blend, the 11 track set is one of the best beatronica LPs of the year. Sample “Elysian” from Comfort.

Fellow b3sci fam Erin and I were talking this newest version of Jamie xx’s “Bloom” remix earlier today and we were both like whoa (no Black Robb) “When did all music start sounding like this?” It’s kind of true, when did all music (at least on the internet) start sounding like Jamie’s new “Bloom” remix? So, great. Souped up British garage-influenced space R&B is now ON TOP. WHERE IS THE BACKLASH? Come on indie music press don’t sleep on that backlash. We know y’all love a good backlash. p.s. We really love this remix.

The recently monikered Foxes is the latest project courtesy of Neon Gold sure to be set on #repeat. Toquote: “This 22-year old superstar in waiting writes leftfield pop anthems with the kind of infectious ambition that has desk-strapped A&Rs foaming at the checkbook.” Get familiar below:

An ambitous new worldly jam from a bloke that you know studies electronic music at another level. “Ergo” can wear lots of hats but it still maintains all the vital elements of it’s own identity. A new producer to be on the look for.
Now here’s a cool coffee club banger from blogosphere fav Jhameel. “White Lie” has a great chorus and extended bridge which almost becomes a hidden song-within-a-song. A true polyglot (speaks Arabic, Spanish, Russian and Korean), Jhameel’s music has a cosmopolitan flair which is loved among the echo boomers. This is the sort of song I would play for a jaded hip-hop or indie rock junkie to get them to venture away from their comfort zone and into the other genre’s territory. With so many flashes in the pan, Jhameel has quietly become a familiar face. Get it get it get it.
