Ryan Hemsworth – Afterglow

hemsworth

Canadian Producer Ryan Hemsworth goes all melody-sentimental with a cheery tone-drenched strings-laced clear-auric back-to-classics instrumental chill track called “Afterglow” which excels for its warmhearted Bob Marley-melody and guttural synth-heavy sense of feels. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Transviolet – Girls Your Age (Twin Shadow Remix)

transviolet2

Buzzing LA-based 4-piece Transviolet gets a strong remix from Twin Shadow on “Girls Your Age”. TS’s added guitar riffs alone make this remix a stand out but the new groove and the drums take it over the top. Feel the head-bob inducing flip below. Reviewed by Tony Perkis.

Lose yourself amidst the soft-edged muted-expansive down-tempo temperament and upbeat-inspirational vocal under-layers of “Desire” a quietly scintillating new remix (of B3-fave Years and Years) from NYC producer Gryffin, who we last covered in December for their stellar dance remix of Bipolar Sunshine’s (moody-sublime) pop-inspired track “Daydreamer”.

Oh Wonder – Technicolour Beat (Bread Story Recake)

ohwonder

In March we adored the soft and sensuous, lyrically stunning, intimately-charged feels of “Technicolour Beat” an acoustic-leaning track from London-based duo Oh Wonder which recently saw a vivid-vibe remix from Hamburg-based beat-maker Bread Story; a remix which we like for its smoothed-out tone-drenched harmonics, vibrant swatches of vocal-led melody and gorgeous sublimely-synchronous sense-blasting arrays of quietly-simmering shimmery beats.

LO’99 – All Night

lo992

Go deep with the latest bass-bemused dance-floor-stomper from Aussie late-night house producer/artist LO’99 who B3 recently covered for his dreamy mood-expansive pop-vocal-ed dynamo “My Mind”. LO’99’s new one “All Night” is a vast and expansive synth-driven dance-centric gem that excels for its deep n’ warpy vocals, cheerful array of gooey stretched-out moody-volatility and an exceptionally sweeping-scope high-vitality dance-friendly club energy that is very fun to dance to. “All Night” is out via etcetc. today.

We like the lighthearted sweetly-commanding bongo-simple boogie-down funk-town disco-infused pop vibrations of new song “Waiting For You” from London-based NZ-born disco electro-collective Flamingo Pier off their debut EP called “FPC001”. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

TÂCHES – Eat Your Friends (Feat. Shoffy)

taches

“Eat Your Friends” is an immediately-catchy melody-tempered r&b-vocaled deep-house house jam from Barcelona’s sexy-anonymous producer legend TÂCHES which captivates our sentiments in deep with its fun-loving percussion-led late-night-dance-grind background dynamic, incessant subtle-hued baroque-reverb-y bass-line and the sonorously-sultry sweet-magnetic r&b-slick vocals of LA-artist Shoffy (who is new to B3).

Satchmode – Never Gonna Take You Back

Take respite in freshly-spun vintage-inspired sonics of the delectably danceable dream-pop atmospherics, harmonic-repetitive melody-laced vocals and trippy-fantastical synth-driven disco-tinged trimmings of new track “Never Gonna Take You Back” from LA multi-instrumentalist duo Satchmode off their upcoming August-release “Afterglow” EP (which features the mixing skills of Grammy Award-winning sound engineer Robert Orton).
