B3 faves Gold Fields spin more remix magic (the GF crew has become one of our favorite remixers) on one of the best tracks of 2013, “Vulnerable” from breakout candidate Tinashe. On the mix, Gold Fields select for a soft-touch vocal house approach merging feel good vibes with beach side beats.

I feel ya Chicago. Being born and raised in Chi-town and enduring the brutality of those snowstorms, sub-zero tempuratures and winds truly does suck at times. But cheer up to this new track from one of your own. Chicago’s Gilligan Moss creates a happy landscape full of life and warmth. Considering that this is the second single from the artist, of relatively unknown status, I will be anxiously waiting the next one. Reviewed By Brian Litwin

We loved UK indie artist Khushi’s infectious debut single from the fall “Magpie”. “Phantoms”, the lead track from Khushi’s upcoming first EP of the same name, has more of the thoughtful lyricism, romantic/engaging melodies and breakout quality that made “Magpie” so great. The “Phantoms” EP is out March 4th on Laissez Faire Club Records.

Remix rainmakers The Chainsmokers are taking the plunge into the arena of original tracks with a slapping new jam called “#SELFIE”. A ‘#selfie’ raging valley girl curates the track throughout to it’s resonating drops. We can’t get enough. Grab the new single soon via Dim Mak.

The ineffable SAINT PEPSI, who tore up the indiesphere earlier this month with “Mr. Wonderful”, debuts a sunny disco-leaning mix for our very own B3SCI Records single “Drifter”. In exchanging the Psychic Twin-featuring “Drifter”‘s choppy drum stabs and vocal slices PEPSI a/k/a Boston College student Ryan DeRobertis selects for a “he just turned this thing around 360 degrees” melange of smooth, buttery, yacht-day grooves. Turnt it up.

Låpsley, fresh from her breakthrough single “Station” from a couple weeks ago, links up with Belgian producer BABEL for a soothing bit of heavy on mood/atmosphere deep house. That we all love, BUT THEN, there’s this sax-driven break that crashes into the track at around 2:20 and pushes “Life Of Eve” into a fifth or sixth gear of sorts that is just simply euphoric. “Life Of Eve” is excerpted from BABEL’s “Matthew I” EP.

The eminent and distinguished Washed Out spins a stunning world-beating rework of Moby & Damien Jurado’s “Almost Home” single. Mr. Greene’s mix captures a sound that (at least in my mind) would soundtrack some sort of super well-shot of great importance travelogue on the BBC, probably narrated by David Attenborough or Michael Palin or someone of equal worldly stature and status. The shimmering temples of Bagan, the Villa of Diocletian in Croatia, the stone churches of Lalibela, all flying by in 10000p definition to the magisterial tones of Washed Out’s mix. Moby’s Little Idiot label will be putting out the “Almost Home” single on 02/24.

New from Ninja Tune is the indie 2014 quiet storm of UK artist Actress’ track for “Rap”. From Actress’ upcoming Ghettoville LP (the follow-up to the very long time ago 2008’s Hazyville), “Rap” while modern in its syrupy R&B references is special/worth your time because of Actress’ command of mood and pacing (and production) which are all truly standout (as is the track). Ghettoville sees a release on January 28th via Werkdiscs/Ninja Tune.
