Swede's as sweet as these electronically should be considered for a listen.

Easy going catch pop beats. Fun and friendly, like the excitement of going to a theme park as a child. Yakimi Nagono has that voice to make you cynics fall in love. Melodic, poppy- seed- heroin vocals. Get wet on them. Let the needle in your eardrums

tell me why? 


Check em' out and peep the video.



Check out 'ritual union' as well.

Blood Diamonds feat. Grimes - Phone Sex (Unicorn Kid remix)



Unicorn Kid is known for big sun-drenched rave ups. Here, we catch him
remixing a tune by Blood Diamond featuring cute pop oddity from Canada
.........sorry Drake, it's Grimes.

Unicorn Kid's contribution is rave at its essence -  the chord-heavy piano build ups, 
synth flares, the rolling kicks. Then there is Grimes' voice - distant, innocent, 
yearning,
both human and mechanical,
 still soothing.

Rave on.

Lindsay Lowend - Mmmmm



Trap rap beats meet ambient chillout meets house. It's not a beat - it's a journey to a serene
yet groovy place, in the music you can hear waves crashes and seagull cries.

That's all I can tell you about Lindsay Lowend. I couldn't find any information about her
anywhere online.

Lindsay Lowend is a mystery
but the music is a startling revelation.

Bounce.

Atira - Ascension



Despite ProTools and Ableton being as widespread as HPV, there is still a niche for
fuzzy hazy music. Quiet so right now with the acclaim enjoyed by Clams Casino,
Salem and such like minded bretren. The discussion of genres of such music
is just as hazy. Witchhouse, chillwave, your mama in the shower?

Wherever this fits, witchhouse most likely, someone's going to have to make some
room for it. This is epic, orchestral, lush, ominous yet ethereal. It's all battle ready gongs,
distant choirs, gothic trumpets and trap beats. (Young Jeezy would eat this up!)

Since I could not get the scoop on Atira, the maker of this cloudy wonder, let's just hope
this is the beginning of a new mystery.

Sasha Go Hard - Do U Know Who I Am (Mixtape Stream)


Sasha Go Hard has a killer with this mixtape. This follow up to her first mixtape
'Glory Girl' is very consistent. At 15 tracks, there is no filler. It's just fix after fix
of that murky ominous Midwest trap rap that has been recentlyflowing out Chicago's
 veinsvia transfusions from Chief Keef and King Louie.

Considering her lil' bad ass, she quite mature and thoughtful, always coming through
lyrically, riding these dirty beats with her limber laidback flow that she switches up
at the right time. Furthermore, props to her display of female unity by throwing on
a posse cut with fellow Chi-town femme spitters - Katie Got Bandz and Chella H.

She ain't called 'Go Hard' for no reason.

Curren$y feat. Young Jeezy & Lil' Wayne - Don't Miss This Jet (Music)


The current king of lifestyle-rap, Curren$y, just dropped this leftover from
 his recently released 'The Stone Immaculate.' The real revelation here though
is how good Young Jeezy sounds over Big K.R.I.T.'s expansive psychedelic
 production.

Strong Arm Steady & Statik Selektah - Premium (Video)



Strong Arm Steady are Phil the Agony, Krondon and Mitchy Slick.
Three L.A. spitters and Statik Selektah from Boston have not only
bridged the West-East Coast divide but have also covered any ground
between actually being high and seeing shit that makes you feel high.
Or want to get high.

Statik Selektah comes through with a strong ominous bassline flanked with
mystical strings that swirl non-stop. The three spitters definitely come through
with a sack...........full of raps.

Well what else could they bring a sack of?

D E N A - Cash, Diamond Rings, Swimming Pool (Video)




D E N A is the project of a Bulgarian living in Berlin...Denitza Todorova.
She raps and sings well enough. Through out this video, she gives off
that nonchalant swag M.I.A. was supposed to have before she started
to flick off SuperBowl cameras.

Not only is this song just the right vibe for a shirtless summer, it could
also be a sign of some more audio goodness to come. As you read this,
she is banging out her full length album in Berlin.

Hopefully she makes it out of the swimming pool....
