G.O.O.D. Music affiliate Ryan McDermott gets the inside bounce pass from label teammate Hit-Boy and WHAM! with the right hand (word to Joe Tait) the two connect for the nicely tipped R&B-flavored pop track. It’s “Joy”.

Young Amsterdam producer Saux may be a bit under the radar as of yet but the 19-year old (!) has already made some pretty impressive fans including Jessie Ware, Bondax & our buddy KCRW’s Anthony Valadez (who tipped us to the track). “Itay”, which is sampled here from Saux’s new EP “Bring Me Home” marries the R&B, soul-influenced electronic sound that’s been such a major Dutch export the last several years with more modern instrumentation and rhythm structures; that and the track sports an absolute lights out vocal melody. Get introduced to Saux below.

Yuksek is one of the most consistent remixers in the game right now. Here on his latest mix for C2C, the French producer does go for that big anthemic floor-filling sound but manages to do so without falling into the same tropes and cliches such a sound is often littered with. The mix sounds fresh and immediate and great and will make you want to re-live 2009 all over again (that and starting your own personal dance circle). Go ahead, do it. We won’t judge (too much).

Remixers Recycle Culture take How To Dress Well not to the club or to the cruise ship or the beach but to the roller rink with their new remix for “& It Was U”. Stacked wall to wall with “funky drums” and an instrumental that sounds lifted from the “King of Wishful Thinking” video shoot wrap-party, Recycle Culture’s mix should be your “go-to” for that next rollerblader date with yr shorty.

Misun’s impressive run of singles continues with new release “Darkroom”. The same D.C.-based cast from “Harlot” and “Battlefields” are your primaries again on “Darkroom” with rising newcomers Misun teaming with the equally skilled producer Nacey. “Darkroom”‘s blend of tight as tight hooks & instrumentation with just the slightest tinge surf rock in the guitar & drums is very very good and it may well be Misun’s best track yet (which is saying a lot).

Lady, the duo of 90’s R&B-stress & BlakRoc collaborator Nicole Wray and UK singer Terri Walker that we first hipped you to back in November, delivers a second single perhaps better that their first. The minor-keyed “sneaky groover” “Get Ready” is a different look as compared to that first single (the sunny skipping “Money”) for the Truth & Soul Records artists but its definitely one we’re into, like REALLY INTO. Excellent.

Fallulah is the latest Danish songbird (think MØ, Quadron’s Coco) to capture our b3 hearts. Consider the infinitely catchy “Out Of It” your introduction (or whatever introduction is in Danish).

Big K.R.I.T. superior skill as a producer shows out on new single “Shine On”. Sampled here from his upcoming King Remembered In Time LP, the Mississippi producer/MC selects on the track for a Curtis Mayfield “Pusherman”-esque ride out and gets a serviceable sixteen bars-assist from Uncle Bun B.
