Right, so Disclosure’s (gasp) 4-day old track is so deep into the blogoverse at this point that yr Grams is prob doing the 2013 version of the Electric Slide to it with her bridge club but we’re so caught about by the track that the pages of b3 would be lesser without it. Get into it, it’s our favorite UK songstress Eliza Doolittle guesting with Disclosure on the super posh #gramsbridgeclubapproved “You & Me”.

Big tune here from a group with one of the coolest bandnames we’ve heard in a while. Velociraptor unleash garage rock carnage with “Walk On By”. This Aussie crew rolls 12 deep, Shane Parsons and Simon Ridley of DZ Deathrays plus ten. Can’t wait to catch these guys in a live setting.

Giraffage, you silly bitch. Of course your take on Janet Jackson’s 2001 single, “Someone To Call My Lover” is absolutely great. It just makes sense. Sit back and enjoy. By Brian Litwin

“I Will Love You” is a great match for a gorgeous, sun-filled day. It’s retro-pop, with bright catchy hooks and a sound that is not overly-produced, but organic. Summer Twins give She & Him a run for their money, and it would be money well spent. By Desiree Autobee

Creatively constructed guitars, vocals, and percussion make “Houdini Crush” a bit like those Choose Your Own Adventure books you read in grade school. You follow the music as it begins to build a musical adventure, then the song comes to a juncture where the form opens and primes for melodic interpretation; you can go where the band takes you, or you can add in your own constructs along the way. No matter where your ear chooses to go, this song doesn’t let down. By Desiree Autobee

Lorine Chia, out of our hometown of Cleveland, releases maybe her best & most accessible track to date with the breezy new styler “Fly High”. Look out for a re-release of her Lorine mixtape from last year, refreshed with new tracks like “Fly High”.

Barcelona artist Alizzz realizes a fresh take on R&B-tipped electronic music on “Collapse”. Big, bombastic, almost M83-esque in its largeness, “Collapse” is the sort of track sizeable enough for a king & queen (& their crew) to roll to on Sat. night but still intimate and close-in enough to soundtrack your “pizza & chips” stay-in night. Alizzz’s new EP of the same name is available now on Beatport.

UK artist Sivu releases “Bodies”, the follow-up single to his breakout track “Better Man Than He”. Produced by Charlie Andrew (Alt-J), “Bodies” is tight, compact & well-constructed but it’s certainly not constricted in its ability to emotional affect the listener. That, and the track manages to surprise at each turn; the chorus & bridge, etc are great but twist the track in ways that are really interesting and that only help to further raise the song’s power & quality. Very very nice.
