electricmantis

Alaskan-bred Oregonite Electric Mantis soothes our romantic sentiments with a dreamy-whispery amazing-sublime bellowing-synth-fixed jam named “The One” which is nicely layered with a quintessential-Mantis melange of sparkling vibe-y beats, lovely-simplistic atmospheric vocals and vibrant wash of melodic piano-laced instrumentals.

Takuya Matsumoto – Coco

Immerse your senses in the warm and vivacious XLR8R-premiered dynamo called “Coco” which relishes in a beautiful meld of cheerfully-glum piano-led instrumental elements and an amazing (sweet n’ romance-y) vintage-dance-vibe cinematic-scope which we dig immensely. “Coco” comes off the four-track “Places of Colour” EP from Japanese producer Takuya Matsumoto that is out now on FINA Records.

Saytek – Reintroduce

saytek

Back in September we covered London producer Saytek (a.k.a. Joseph Keevill) for his superbly mesmerizing tech-house track “Realisation”, which we liked for its juicy shimmery metallic accents and subtle murmuring high-drama haunting-reverby chant-vibe vocals. We’re fully enjoying his latest vibrantly-textured luminous-sensual (deep and spacey) quirky-vocaled house track called “Reintroduce” that comes off the Lapsus Music Talents Vol. 10 compilation.

We like the uniquely-fashioned brightly-geared emotionally-uplifting far-out trance-y expansive deep house sentiments of Danish producer Torsten Lindsø Andersen, a.k.a. Round, on his beautifully-mellow voluptuously-stylish synth-heavy slow-burner fix of “Syko” from B3 favorite artist Copenhagen-based duo Kenton Slash Demon (a.k.a. Silas Moldenhawer and Jonas Kenton). Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Premiere: LZRS TXN – Let It Go

lzrstxn

LZRS TXN (Lazarus Taxon) is the newcomer duo of Austin-based producer Evil Earn and Boston emcee and singer Francis Sobotka. Debut track “Let It Go” turns about a space house instrumental frame fit to Francis’ contemplative bars and hits for us stylistically somewhere between mid-career Lupe and The Foreign Exchange. Stream the B3 Premiere of “Let It Go” from LZRS TXN below.

B3 new fave HW&W rep’d artist Baltimore producer/beatmaker Rashad Tek Williams, also known as TEK.LUN, outdoes himself on new jam “Where I Was Born” a luscious and whimsical dynamic-dub-infused sweeping-energetic synth-y mood changer which we dig immensely for its vintage vibe vocal sample and wacky-discombobulated set of prolific mismatched beats.

Manic Science – Funky Style (Feat. Lettuce)

manicscience

We adore the brilliant funked-out trumpet-washed simplicity of new track “Funky Style” the second joint-production between New York rhythm and culture duo Break Science and Chicago solo artist Manic Focus. The song, which showcases B3-recent feature NYC funk band Lettuce, is a well-composed lulling-meld of hooky dance-friendly instrumentals matched up beautifully with a super-catchy sample of A$AP Mob’s “Trillmatic”.

London-based Adriatic deep house duo BluBird, also known as Damjan Jovic and Tadej Gujt (DJ Dey), turn in a radiantly-spun guitar-laced indie-dance-y nu-disco radio-rip called “Wake Up” which we dig for its infectiously-chipper expansive-vibrant happy-go-lucky warm-natured attitude.
