Get familiar with Small Pond Recordings-representing artist collective Calico, a Brighton progressive instrumentals quintet who are about to launch their alluring fresh-eclectic-vibe self-titled debut EP on October 19th. The group beautifully blends together a mixture of influences on the EP (from jazz, folk and rock to classical and electronica). We’re into the EP’s debut track “Fold A Winning Hand” for its righteously-creative instrumental sound, somber-playful-dynamic and beautifully-varying jazzy horn-fangled moodscapes. Beautiful vibes. If you agree, check out Calico on tour now starting with this Saturday night at London’s The Islington. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

In February B3 covered top-talent singer-songwriter Zak Abel for his refreshingly-soulful Rudimental-esque Joker-produced debut-EP track called “Alchemy”. We’re completely into his vocals yet again on new track “Say Sumthin” which is Zak Abel’s newest Kaytranada-produced creation which (in our eyes) beautifully expresses his catchy songwriting appeal and rising-star-potential cheery sugary-sweet melodic Rudimental-esque style vocals. Of course we also love the retro-vibe synth-y emotive strings-led ethereal-ambient instrumental handiwork of B3 fave producer Kaytranada. Great collaboration. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Skylar Spence put his debut album out on Friday and what a grand entrance it was. Prom King is an album that I will be listening to for years to come (possibly one of the best of 2015). From top to bottom, “Can’t You See”, “Fall Harder”, “Fiona Coyne” and “I Can’t Be Your Superman”, this is an album the internet should get behind. Scope my favorite track “Cash Wednesday” below, 2:31 of pure fun. Reviewed by Tony Perkis.

We adore the soulfully upbeat spicy-sweet vocals of “Running” a sensationally-spirited club-ready tropics-inspired melodic-house original track from Chicago producer fave Autograf who surprisingly only has one other original track out called “Dream” (which was mixed by B3-fave Pat Lok). We like the mixed-media pop-art project that serves as the artwork for the song. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

B3 fave Oakland five-member indie pop band Astronauts, etc. (which is led by frontman vocalist Anthony Ferraro) team up with pal Toro Y Moi for a stellar-sound guitar-riffing 70’s lounge-funk-inspired cover of “Rocket Man” which we especially appreciate for its scintillating uplifting-vibe keyboard melody. The Elton cover follows Astronauts, etc.’s soulful emotive-approached “Shake it Loose”, the fourth track to stream off their upcoming debut full-length album Mind Out Wandering which is streaming now (and is awesome) on Hype Machine and hits stores officially on September 18th.

We’re into the super-sultry delicate vocal style touches of songstress Annalisa Walters and the sweet n’ sonorous hip-hop/r&b instrumentals of “Faded Gold”, a track from 20-year-old London-based musician (rapper/pianist/cellist) Just Chris who artfully adds his own slow-method mellow-mood rapper style to the mix.

We last covered B3 duo-fave abhi//dijon for their perfectly-sultry r&b slow-burner “Like A Bird” which is a single off the duo’s recently-released very-excellent Stay Up EP. We dig the duo’s delicate r&b good-vibes sentimentality and romance-centered mindset on the lot of “Stay Up” yet are drawn to several tracks in particular. We like the exquisitely stylized hip-hop beats/r&b hybrid production dynamics of the EP’s first single “Wait” (discussed on B3 in July), the gorgeous short and sweet acoustic guitar led track “Him” (featured here) and the EP’s final track called “Apple Pie” which adds a nice soft and sultry melodic jazz-inspired finish to the album.
