Just a few weeks after sharing What Happened To Us? Melbourne duo GL are back with another cool track. Once again it's packing an ice-like minimal electronic sound, with polished vocal hooks straight out of the 80s.

Stream: For You / P L A Y - Fickle Friends
I was a massive fan of Fickle Friends' single Swim earlier this year and their current single For You was named Zane Lowe's Next Hype Record last week. It's another shimmering pop track full of longing.
Whilst you are here check out previous single P L A Y and a brand new remix of that track by Foreign Skin, also from Brighton, who gives the original a skittering garage influenced mix with lots of pitched vocals. All three tracks are well worth a listen.
Stream: This Simple Pleasure - Billie Black x Mura Masa
It's been around for a few weeks but I've only just discovered it - Billie Black has followed up her impressive R&B number I Don't Need Another Lover with this collaboration with Mura Masa (who I featured back in April for a lovely remix of HARTEBEEST's Drums). If anything, it's even better. Jump in.
Stream: Bassically - Tei Shi
Seems like the internet just had a collective shit fit over this incredible new joint from Columbian-born, Brooklyn-based singer Tei Shi, previously best known for her cover of Beyonce's No Angel. Bassically pairs the femininity of Tei Shi's raw vocals to producer Luca Buccellati's aggressively analogue production. If you like FKA Twigs and Banks you'll love this.
Stream: It's All Good - Naomi Pilgrim
This is the first track I've heard from Naomi Pilgrim, but it's a corker. Sassy dance-influenced R&B, it's a song about those days where everything should be great but you just aren't feeling it so you need that extra little kick to get you out of bed. Love the production, the vocals and the sentiment... One to watch.
