Blood Moon – Ghost

blood moon ghost

“Ghost” by Blood Moon is a fresh dance-floor ready jam from the newly formed Imaginary Friends label. The track Brooklyn-residing Jesse Brickel is a great 8-bit-styled hazy 80’s-evoking dreamscape. The tap-along song “Ghost” serves as a noteworthy debut for both artist and label. By Brian Litwin

ODESZA – Say My Name (SteLouse Remix)

odesza

“Say My Name” is another runaway hit for the very consistent ODESZA. One of our favorite producers anywhere right now SteLouse takes in a brand new remix a broad-palette swing at “Say My Name”. Mixing trap-y rhythmic structures with crossover instrumentation and elements of hip hop sprinkled throughout, the resulting mix is another standout for SteLouse.

Sylas – Hollow

sylas

Aesop (the label of TÄ€LÄ€ & SOHN) introduce UK outer space soul duo Sylas. Almost mechanized in sound and languid like in the style of James Blake, “Hollow” takes forward the Blake-palette into furthest way out spaces wresting emotion of the most disparate varied and powerful varieties. You’ll want to not miss this one.
