Olmos – Feels

olmos

Get into the soulful meld of effervescent vibrantly-expressive non-verbal harmonies and peppy brightly-smitten ambient background dynamic on “Feels” the second track covered on B3 from 19-yr-old Cali producer Olmos, who we recently discussed for the wonderfully-expansive playground-sounds-touched slow-burner track “Stay Here”.

Darius & FKJ – Ô

wave

Discover the immense sonic chemistry and superbly captivating artistic cohesion between B3-featured artist Darius (who brought us the outstanding Wayne Snow featured “Helios”) and fellow French producer FKJ (French Kiwi Juice) on the pair’s new collaboration “Ô” a jazzy bright-tone-drenched guitar-infused French Touch soundscape that features a reverb-heavy array of quieting sounds, atmospheric vibe-y vocals, and a poignantly-subtle relentless barrage of metallic percussion. New one “Ô” is out on Roche Musique’s new WAVE compilation which is set to hit the street in full on August 21st. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

EphRem – Fruitfly

ephrem

Groove into your day with the modest luminescently-spun jazz-infused charms and calm sensationally-melodic slightly-melancholic keyboard-tickled vibes of UK producer and Flow-Fi artist EphRem on his incredibly soulful multi-dimensional bass-heavy fix of “Fruitfly” the beat-centric track from Kansas City musician/beatmaker ChromadaData (off his 2012 EP “Raw Uncut Dusty Loops V.2”). Amazing instrumentals EphRem, we’re hooked! Reviewed by Erin Shay

Vindata – Getting Away (Feat. Mack)

vindata

We like the shimmery piano accents, expressive quietly-centered tropical vibe hip-hop-beats and bass-grounded synth-heavy expansive-backdrop production style of LA electro duo Vindata on their new EP debut track “Getting Away”; a sparkling poppy-atmosphered radio-ready breathtaking-Bjork-style-vocal-ed gem which features the impressive talents of singer-songwriter Mack. “Getting Away” is the first single to release off the pair’s forthcoming “Through Time And Space” EP which is out August 14th via OWSLA.

JackLNDN – All I See

jacklndn_001

We love the potent dance-driven beats and instrumentally posh vividly-stated deep-house dance vibe of UK producer JackLNDN on his brilliant new synth-heavy Ultra-rep’ed piano-driven dance-epic called “All I See”. LNDN (who B3 recently featured for his brightly-laced beat-driven dance-centric original hit ”Firing Line”) just released “All I See” in time to get the party moving again before he hits the Pagoda stage on August 7-10th at British Columbia’s Shambhala Festival. We think the house-ballad all-encompassing anthem-dynamic style of “All I See” is a congenial new-release hit to unleash on the festival-scene crowd. If you are lucky enough to be attending BC’s Shambhala Fest, we think JackLNDN is a must see performance. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Ambassadeurs – Looking At You (Moods Remix)

Veteran beat-maker/producer Moods, a.k.a. Dutch artist Nick Moods, turns in a sweetly captivating synth-led boogie-funk-swaggered dance-centric fix of “Looking At You” the sultry-paced radiantly-sublime deep-atmosphered Ambassadeurs (“Patterns” EP) track which we recently featured here on B3.

Atu x Dpat x Sango – 3

Vibe out to the spiritually engrossing acid trap meld on “3” a sweetly-indulgent brightly-enveloping dynamic-opposite-layered triple-talent-packed new collaboration between B3 watch list instrumental-electro beat-maker/mood-setters DPAT, ATU and Sango. Terrific! Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Kaytranada – Come Clean (Hilary Duff)

kaytranada

B3-current vibe setter Kaytranada charms our whacky pop-culture sentiments with a beautifully composed (insanely catchy) on-a-fun-note twist on some A+ classic back-in-the-day Hilary Duff material. We think Katyra excels at a 10 out of 10 for his pop-sensibilities on this kitchy fresh-vibe jazz-infusion rip of “Come Clean”, a song that you probably once loved yet have somewhat long forgotten (until now).

Nocturnal Sunshine – Intergalactic

nocturnalsunshine

Delve into the dreamy beat-driven deep-house expanses and sweetly-incessant vibrantly-imagnative tropical rhythms of “Intergalactic” an excellent new dub-based dance track from Nocturnal Sunshine; the newly-revived (so-far-so-awesome in 2015) solo-side-project from UK producer Maya Jane Coles; who B3-featured in May (as Nocturnal Sunshine) for her dub-heavy dark-pop-inspired Chelou-vocaled original gem track “Believe”. Both songs are off Nocturnal Sunshine’s new May-released self-titled second EP which is out via her own label I/AM/ME. Reviewed by Erin Shay

Paces – Hold It Down (StéLouse Remix)

stelouse

We’re hooked on the uniquely-catchy sultry-seductive vibes of sing-along-worthy new one “Hold It Down” the beat-based live-instrumentals-enhanced new jam from Denver-native StéLouse, a musician and DJ/producer who B3 last covered for his synth-touched trap-beat-centric dark-dub-facade remix of Jack Ü’s smash hit “Mind”. We dig the new track’s golden-touches of guitar (from Joseph Shull), sublimely slow undercurrent of percolating bass-line grooves (Noah Matthews) and jazzy sax embellishments from B3-watchlist trap/house/jazz aficionado Masego. Excellent stuff. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Lane 8 – Loving You (Moon Boots Remix)

lane8

Brooklyn-based producer, sonic cosmonaut and B3-blog steady Moon Boots (as per his dance-friendly dub-dark boogie-disco usual) turns in a sensational mood-setting disco-tinged tropical deep-house late-night dance twist on buddy-pal Lane 8’s beautifully-emotive slightly-more-muted Lulu James-vocaled recent-release “Loving You” (off 8’s new already-out debut album). Moon Boots captures a rad trance-y mind-body dance-floor dynamic on the remix by meshing the deep-in-the-mix female vocal with his own subtle-melodic synth tones and grounding sub-aquatic summer-heat-tinged dark-sided bass-line (that we love). Great vibe. Reviewed by Erin Shay.
