Nigel Godrich is causing somewhat of a stir with his new project Ultraista. The famed Radiohead producer (among so many other ‘humbling’ credits) has teamed up with Laura Bettinson and Joey Waronker for a new band that makes for a psychedelic, electronic-storm of pop abstraction. The textures in “Static Light” are so many to note and there’s even a hint of Kid A-like highlights in the track’s irresistible drive components.

Here’s some new “sensitive guy” rock from one of the best arbiters of that style Virginia artist Jack Tatum a/k/a Wild Nothing. “Shadow” excerpted from Tatum’s Aug 28 due LP Nocturne. If you’re into more uptempo rock-oriented dreamy textures “Shadow” should do you quite fine.

We can get on Jeremih’s team and all but like WHERE IS THIS BEAT FROM? I KNOW I’VE HEARD IT BEFORE. Seriously, though, where? “Ahh Shit” cuts hard with that sleek heavier-than-air sort of atmosphere. Fab’s definitely on some kind of resurgence too. He’s been featuring seemingly everywhere the last couple months. We like it.

Ahhhhh, somebody get Ursh a b3sci Spotify playlist or something. As tired as you are, your Mom is, and probably your Grandma too is of “Pumped Up Kicks”, this cover of the ubiquitous Foster the People single just cut by Usher inside Radio 1’s live lounge is kinda awesome. That, and URIV cuts it sharp on the bass in the vid! Looking 4 Myself is in stores now.

Zebra Tracks make something fierce with face ripping rock that would probably be our best friend too if we were living through the turmoil of life in Greece nowadays. “We Found A Reason…” is something poetic to a decades (ages) old type statement.

Jhameel wraps the Are You Free series with this new and atmospheric track “Let’s Run Away”. The cut showcases particularly well the electronica blood running through Jhameel’s Pop repertory. A few spins will get you singing along, remix primed. We’re always excited to hear what’s next from this dude.

Philly rapper Lushlife grabs a crew of his friends for this 8 PM twilight summer night smooth as glass rework of “She’s a Buddhist, I’m a Cubist”. I was once in love with a Buddhist, but you’d never call me a Cubist.
