Tinashe - Boss (Ryan Hemsworth remix)


Tinashe is a singer from Kentucky. She gets her exotic looks from having Zimbabwean,
Danish, Norwegian and Irish blood from her parents. This is a cut off her mixtape
'In Case We Die' that she dropped in February 2012. While we salivate for her
next mixtape 'Reverie,' Ryan Hemsworth - another Canadian export killing the game right now -
has graced us with this official remix to keep the thirst at bay till then.

He surrounds her vocals with a flurry of chimes and percussion that switches from
congas and fingersnaps to an 808-led trap chorus. He tops it all off with fluttering coos
and stuttering vocal samples. And Tinashe?

Besides crooning languid from behind a curtain of reverb, she's waiting for you to come and get it. 

That's right, daddy....

Com Truise - Chemical Legs



Com Truise makes '80s music. Yeah a more Blader Runner-esque 1980s
were we might have been denied the joys of Mr. Reagan. As a musician,
he is a synth warlord with a no-joke arsenal. He unrolls melodies of bright 
crystalline synths, grooving it out with swift stabs of guttural bass. 

Occasionally, as in this instance, he throws in some heavily processed 
(maybe Autotune...?) vocals that are reminiscent of HAL. This is his 
hard hitting gem, contributed to the Adult Swim Singles Program.

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.
