Premiere: K.Flay – Time For You (B.Lewis Remix)

KFLAY Press WEB-144

We’ve been B.Lewis backers for about as long as B3SCI has been around. Here, the San Jose-based producer laces world-beater K.Flay (the owner of a Billboard Rap Albums Top 20 and a successful stint on the Warped Tour) with his signature synth-heavy vibed-down tones and layered easy feeling beats. K.Flay’s Life Is A Dog LP is out now.

Sekuoia – Waves

sekuoi

Sekuoia is 21 year old Danish producer Patrick Madsen. New track “Waves” is a dynamic twist of far-off reverb’d vocals, magnetic layered percussion, and exotic instrumentation. The blend of the particular diffuse yet complementary elements contained on “Waves” is especially brilliant and new. We are loving it.
