Just Words - The Night VI

Stream: Just Words - The Night VI

May 21, 2015

Another new track from The Night VI, lifted from their forthcoming EP III, due in September. In demonstration of the talent that exists within the six-piece, Just Words sees the band hand vocal duties over to keyboardist Kristy Marie. She delivers a soulful, quivering performance as she describes the words used to lure you in to a one night stand.

We've heard a lot of great things from The Night VI already but in my view this is their best track yet, and their biggest opportunity to break out into the mainstream. Truly great.

You can order the EP on vinyl here, and ordering unlocks a download of every track released to date (three of the six tracks).

George Maple

Stream: Embrace - Goldroom feat. George Maple

May 20, 2015 in stream

Embrace originally featured on one of Goldroom's earlier EPs, and I've been hooked to it's big warm sunny synths since I first heard it... Here with the addition of George Maple's vocal we get to hear the version Goldroom always had in his head - he and Maple wrote the song together, so it's fitting we now get this new version with her lovely vocals. In the artist's own words:

"George Maple and I actually wrote Embrace together, so having this come full circle, and to have her singing on the song, feels like a dream. The song Embrace is all about re-connection, and so having George back in my studio again, singing the song, felt like it was meant to be."

I first heard the original version of Embrace back when it was a little colder and more wintery here in the northern hemisphere, so it's fitting to have it bubble up again now it is getting warmer... Particularly as it now features the awesome talents of George Maple. Love it.

Embrace is taken from Goldroom's new EP It's Like You Never Went Away, out now on Downtown Records.

I'm very proud to present Embrace (feat George Maple), the first song from my new EP, which comes out today. Getting the chance to release music through Snapchat gave me the perfect opportunity to show everyone the version of Embrace that I've always heard in my head. George Maple and I actually wrote Embrace together, so having this come full circle, and to have her singing on the song, feels like a dream. The song Embrace is all about re-connection, and so having George back in my studio again, singing the song, felt like it was meant to be. I'm so stoked to be able to share this with you guys, and I hope you like it! Each day this week we'll be releasing another song, accompanied by a music video on Snapchat. The most exciting part is that we actually shot all four music videos as a 17 minute short film. We'll be releasing the videos every day this week, so be sure to head to the Snap Channel on Snapchat to catch up and to get lots of behind the scenes extras and interviews!

Eighteen EP - Dive In

Stream: Can't Hold Me Down - Dive In

May 19, 2015 in stream

Another big slice of melodic pop from Glastonbury band Dive In. New track Can't Hold Me Down has been released by the band ahead of their debut EP Eighteen, out next week. Described by band member Matthew Guttridge:

"Can't Hold Me Down was probably the first of our songs to take influence from pools of music outside of the 'band' world ... We wanted to write something that had a more classic song type feel - as opposed to your straight up rock out vibe. "

If you like this, check out the title track from the forthcoming EP, in this post from last month. Pre-order the EP on iTunes [affiliate link]. You can also check out the band live in London at The Lexington for The Line Of Best Fit on 5 August, 2015 - tickets are £5, 18+ only. Buy tickets here.

Dreaming - FROST

Stream: Dreaming - FROST

May 18, 2015 in stream

Dreaming is a big slab of electronic tech-soul from Sydney producer FROST. On this track he blends slightly twisted and tribal tech-house production with deep vocals, creating a heavy, doped-up feel. Describing the song, creator Nick Frost said:

"The track came together when I was in a cycle of staying up all night writing music. When I did sleep, the rhythms and melodies would enter my dreams. That's where the title came from"

Check it out.
