Kartell – Attracted

kartell

Tours-born Paris-based house producer Kartell is best known for his stylish nu-disco/R&B production accents, steadfast efforts to revitalize the French Touch electronica scene and for his 2014 smash hit remix of Karma Kid’s exceptional track “Like I’m on Fire”. To our delight Kartell just released the second single off his upcoming “Tender Games” EP a supremely sultry and melodic, beat-expansive deep house original entitled “Attracted” which is out via Kartell’s own Roche Musique on June 1st.

I’lls – Let Me Have Just One

ills

I’lls (pronounced like isles) are a three piece from Melbourne AU which includes KLO’s Simon Lam. “Let Me Have Just One” is the first single from the Australian band’s “Can I Go With You To Go Back To My Country” EP and neatly blends the last 20 years or so of underground UK bass music with far-off synth textures and cooly distant but still very melodic vocals. We like it.
