Stream: New Moon - Tom Aspaul

February 18, 2015 in stream

Off the back of his first single to be lifted from Aspaul's forthcoming Revelation Mixtape, New Moon is another slice of cool electronic soul from the Wolverhampton-born, London-based singer.

New Moon is actually inspired by two different R&B tracks and if you listen you can pick them both out... The chord sequence is based on 80s groove of Carly Simon's Why, whilst the lyrics come from Brandy's Full Moon. Apaul adds his own touches and some nice lo-fi production.

Look out for the Revelation Mixtape later this month.

Stream: Shelter - Lyves

February 17, 2015 in stream

I featured Lyves almost a year ago when she released track Visions. Now close to releasing her debut EP she has just unveiled this frankly heart-stopping new track, Shelter. Absolutely gorgeous.

Stream: Get It Up - Pr0files

February 17, 2015 in stream

Pr0files managed to make a late bid to become one of my favourite acts of last year with their killer electro ballad Forgive, which sounded like it came straight out of the mind of Ryan Gosling's character in Drive.

The LA duo are back with their first new track of 2015, Get It Up, and it picks up pretty much where they left off. Having first collaborated seven years ago it feels like 2015 could be Lauren Pardini and Danny Sternbaum's best year yet.

Get It Up is the band's most disco moment yet - a bluesy celebratory declaration of a determination to rise above it all. The brassy electronic bass retains the sleek 80s influenced sound that made Forgive so great, but this track overall feels like the natural conclusion to the breakdown that record encapsulated. Where Forgive sounded like it was first sung into the mirror, Get It Up feels like it has been hurled at a dancefloor in defiance - the moment you really move on is the first point at which you stop looking back.

Stream: Rituals - Maribou State

February 13, 2015 in stream

Gorgeous track from duo Maribou State, who have recently signed to Ninja Tune imprint Counter Records and are set to release their debut album Portraits later this year. Expect lots of lush analogue sounding synth work, looped beats and reverb heavy vocals. It's a little bit Caribou, a little bit Four Tet. In other words: it's very good.

Stream: Intergalactic - Young Wonder

February 12, 2015 in stream

This week Cork duo Young Wonder have taken the wraps of their first new track in over a year, and it's... erm... a corker?! Dreamy melodies swirl around cosmic rhythms full of a weightless sense of deep space.

Love this. Also check out older track To You below, just because it is awesome.
