Meg Mac – Never Be

megmac

Australia’s newest vocal powerhouse and newly signed 300 Entertainment member, Meg Mac, rolls back with “Never Be”. Putting her foot down and preaching, Meg Mac creates a perfect mix of new and old on “Never Be” blending the style of several eras of pop and R&B . Meg is an artist to keep an eye out for.

slimtwig

We love Eric Copeland’s sublimely simple soundscape of psychedelic-expansive totally outstanding (mechanical-drone-drive versus spacey supersonic awesomeness) A++ total-jam remix of “Slippin Slidin” from Toronto producer Slim Twig. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

vōx – Claws

vox

Go wild with B3’s LA-fave vōx on her new sweetly stunning sugar-layered strings-enhanced vocal-stunner “Claws” which emanates a distinct sense of beauty with its tantalizing melody; mute-silent, foggy-edged, synth accents; and decadent, soothing-vibe, Japanese-aesthetic whispers of harp. Gorgeous. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

PREP – Cheapest Flight

PREP

New UK band PREP make their B3SCI and online debut with feel good late 70’s/early 80’s R&B-inspired “Cheapest Flight”. The band are comprised of an unusual lineup of a hip hop producer, opera composer, house DJ & singer songwriter which as distilled down in “Cheapest Flight” does make sense as a melange of Steely Dan meets Al Green on a cool boat with a way solid horns section that just loves to “put it down”. Listen.

OVERWERK – Conquer

overwerk

Spin a bit of expansive intense-natured dub-inspired whimsy into your day with “Conquer” a bass-driven silky-synth-ed intergalactic mood-setter from Canadian producer OVERWERK, a talented artist (previously featured on B3) who also just released a sparkling-dynamic sci-fi-cinematic original track “Create” which we also appreciate for its finely-laid left-brained fundamentals and brightly emotive soft-sided chemics.

Tinashe – Days In The West (Kastle Remix)

kastle

We like the intense-natured high-brow minimalism, syrupy-shuffled pace and deeply emotive synth-heavy metallic-percussion-centered instrumental dynamic of LA’s genre-defying producer Kastle on his beautifully steely new late-night zone-out dance-floor-creeper remix of Tinashe’s hit Drake cover “Days in the West”.

Gallant – Weight In Gold (Ta-ku Remix)

gallanttaku

Get captivated by the smooth and melodic muted-veil percussion-heavy lounge-vibe instrumental interludes, dramatic rad-dynamic organ-led elements, and genius-slow pause-heavy stride of Ta-Ku on his newest remix of Gallant’s recent seductively languid r&b gem “Weight In Gold” which we covered here on B3 a month ago.

Jojee – Think Of Anything

jojee

Back in June, we premiere Jojee’s excellent debut track “I Don’t Give A” which went on to cruise into the Hypem Top 5 on the weight of its immediate infectiousness and high level pop songwriting. Jojee’s back with a follow-up that we adore in the form of the soft-edged mid-tempo joint “Think Of Anything”. Stream below and get psyched for more Jojee music in the very near future.

TEK.LUN – Ar

teklun

Baltimore producer Rashad Tek Williams, a.k.a. TEK.LUN, who we last featured for his fabulously whimsical house/future bass dance-floor stomper “G Spot”, creates an incredibly artful meld of vibrant sizzlingly-slow sultry come-hither experimental beats and a sublimely dark church-bell-infused synthed-out-organ-vibe on new track “Ar”, a superbly subterranean original-instrumental which brings a refreshing yang-balance to the current slew of summery remixes!

Empress Of – Kitty Kat

kittykat

We fully appreciate new track “Kitty Kat” from New York artist Lorely Rodriguez a.k.a. Empress Of for its very unique superbly-edgy synth-led sound, sweet hot-tempered severity and awesome Siouxsie and the Banshees punk-as-f feminist-vibe vocals. The new track is the second single to release off of Empress Of’s upcoming “Me” EP after her excellent EP debut-single “Water Water” which was originally out in Spanish as “Agua Agua”.
