Zella Day – East Of Eden (Carousel Remix)

full_zellaDay_eastOfEdenCAROUSEL-2

Synth duo Carousel strap some dancing shoes on to “East Of Eden”, the latest single from Zella Day. The track showcases the Zella vocal nicely atop a disco friendly blend of Carousels’ signature keys. We’ve got it on repeat and feel like heading back to the future with this new 80s tinted jam, but not before we jump back on the dance floor.

Karma Kid – Bird of Prey

karmakid

UK producer/musician Karma Kid announces “Bird of Prey” from forthcoming 12″ for Future Classic. “Bird of Prey” is very much of the current strain of house/garage/R&B fusion breed of songs current right now but the track excels on its fantastic and magnetic pop melodies including a chorus hook that is among the year’s best in its genre.

Premiere: Astronauts, Etc. – Fuss

astronautsetc

Astronauts, Etc, out of Oakland CA, debuts the lead single from their upcoming ‘Sadie’ EP, “Fuss”. Signed to the excellent Hit City U.S.A. Records (PAPA, Avid Dancer), Astronauts, Etc. blend the visceral and rhythmic-oriented with more romantic/dreamy textures; a classic push-pull dynamic of the earthy and the divine. “Fuss”, as a song, is terrific and especially precise in its (and given its disparate stylstic elements not so easy) pinpoint cohesion of arrangement. Sample below the B3SCI Premiere of “Fuss” and look for ‘Sadie’, the new EP from Astronauts, Etc out in September on Hit City U.S.A.

Golden Coast – Break My Fall (M O N A R C H Remix)

golden coast monarch

The summer synth stunner from Golden Coast, “Break My Fall”, gets a chill (borderline) Tears For Fears-esqe flip from LA based MONARCH. From one extreme to another, you can’t take away from a well written song. This remix is a reminder of what good things can come from other artists taking a crack at hit caliber singles. A job well done! By Brian Litwin
