Ténèbre – Construction Random

seoul

We totally dig XLR8R’s techno colossus new feature called “Construction Random” from Seoul-based Frenchman producer Ténèbre who wows us with a gargantuan personality bass-line groove and trance-y deep-undercurrent sub-tropical dance-floor atmospherics. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Jam out with B3 artist-go-to RAC on a superbly wrought 80’s-vibe-tinged synth-led gem twist of “Restless” which is the first single from New Order’s upcoming album Music Complete that is out via Mute on September 25th. RAC’s new remix is taken from the “Restless: single package that is also out on Mute October 9th. Awesome song. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Autograf – Running

We adore the soulfully upbeat spicy-sweet vocals of “Running” a sensationally-spirited club-ready tropics-inspired melodic-house original track from Chicago producer fave Autograf who surprisingly only has one other original track out called “Dream” (which was mixed by B3-fave Pat Lok). We like the mixed-media pop-art project that serves as the artwork for the song. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Weird Inside – Nothing

New Jersey native ani bharad (a.k.a. hip-hop producer Weird Inside) goes deep with a beautifully subtle jazzy-slow-trickle sensed instrumental jam called “Nothing” which according to Weird Inside is “like sleepwalking in your pajamas while being wrapped in a blanket of marshmallows while it’s snowing indoors, but you’re still warm and getting milk from the fridge to go with the peanut butter sandwich you just made.” Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Dismantle – Stranded

Annie Mac recently showcased Dismantle’s excellent new bass-laden rhythm-centered banger called “Stranded” a fast-and-furious syrupy chaotic-charmer that is heavy-handed on the Latin-style horn-flares, dance-friendly dub accents and bright-vibe acoustic instrumentals. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Rodrigo Garcia – Data (Myk Derill Remix)

Wade though the soulfully-sentient dark-ambient-vibed inner sonic trenches and subtle well-orchestrated pounding far-out rhythm-atmospherics of Berlin-based Myk Derill on his haunting sleek-mod depth-driven trippy-hypnotic-vibe psy-trance-y twist of “Data” from Buenos Aires/Barcelona artist Rodrigo Garcia. We love the track’s minimalist and esoteric Pink Floydesque wild-and-crazy universally-themed accompanying animated video too. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Levantis – Jamaican Greek Style

levantis

We’re drawn to the beautifully blended ambient elementals of “Jamaican Greek Style” a super creepy new track from Levantis a.k.a. Athens producer Nick Levantis. We like the deeply cinematic narrowly-focused dark-tempered slow-marching mechanical-metallic deep-house sentiments of the track which is off Levantis’ upcoming new Oct 30-release album called ‘Romantic Psychology 1’ that is out on Technicolour.

Lianne La Havas – What You Don’t Do (Maribou State Remix)

liannelahavas

The vivaciously soul-spirited vocal-led track “What You Don’t Do” from London songstress Lianne La Havas gets an excellent slick-percussion-tinged mellow-path house makeover from B3 favorite artist Maribou State; who are the London-based deep house leaning beat-maker duo responsible for creating the excellent June-released “Portraits” EP which we loved for its smashing Pedestrian-vocals-boosted track “The Clown”.
