Ariana And The Rose X RKCB

Love You Lately (Roosevelt Remix)

Stream: Love You Lately (Roosevelt Remix) - Ariana And The Rose X RKCB

May 08, 2018 in stream

Both Ariana And The Rose and Roosevelt have been firm favourites of mine for a while, so it is no surprise that this new remix of Airana’s heartbreaking track Love You Lately by Roosevelt is already one of my favourite tracks from this year.

The original track is a collaboration between Ariana And The Rose and LA R&B/electro duo RKCB and it is the kind of track that just seems a little too heartfelt to exist. Here is a beautiful pop record about the slow disfunction of a relationship in gradual collapse.

Released in partnership with Kitsuné, this remix by Roosevelt adds a warm Mediterranean sun kissed treatment to the track, and turns it into the kind of heartbreaking house record I just can’t resist. The vocals get an appropriate amount of space whilst Roosevelt focuses on adding a slinky beat and a little of his trademark sparkle. It’s both beautiful and devastating at the same time.

Bob Lemon feat. Co-Stanza

Cat & Mouse

Stream: Cat & Mouse - Bob Lemon feat. Co-Stanza

May 06, 2018 in stream

Cat & Mouse is the kind of robotic-funky-shit I can really get behind. Big fat funk bass lines, big crashing rhythms that feel a little Jurassic in nature, lyrics like gunfire. This is a little bit special.

Bob Lemon is apparently an ex professional equestrian... I guess that means he rode horses? Anyway, ultimately Lemon traded his horse for a tuba and the result is the kind of jazz/funk/electro feast you can experience here.

Hailing from a small town outside of Detroit, Cat & Mouse sees Lemon team up with Chicago-based singer-songwriter Co-Stanza, who provides a vocals here that bubble along beneath the surface of this track, a little like bubbles inside a beer glass. The resulting track is great - catchy as hell and so damn funky.

I can neither visually represent Bob Lemon, nor can I represent his jazz/funk/electro noise. So instead I bring you a picture of a horse. This horse is here to remind you of love. Check out Cat & Mouse below.

I teamed up with Co-Stanza to create “Cat & Mouse” — the saxiest song you’ve heard since John Coltrane. @boblemon @jack-costanza

I See Red

Space

Stream: Space - I See Red

May 04, 2018 in stream

I See Red is an audiovisual band hailing from Sweden and their latest song Space is an epic sounding multi-textural cosmic ballad.

Space is the kind of music that exists somewhere between the mind of James Murphy, David Bowie and Björk, all of whom are name checked by I See Red, but I detect a little Flaming Lips in here too. This is what I call kitchen sink music - everything has been thrown in

The combination of slow, rich and heavy hip-hop style beats, glitchy electronic beeps and huge sweeping orchestral strings give Space an epic feel. It is an aural accompaniment to staring the abyss and coming face-to-face with our own mortality.

Check out Space below and feel the universe get just a little bit bigger:

In a hundred years, we'll probably not be here That's all we know and it's okay, to feel afraid I do it all the time And i can see it in your eyes, that you'd rather tell a lie Don't you know that there is death, after life? I do it all the time I do it all the time In a hundred years we'll probably not be here That's all we know then it's goodbye

Stream: Glass - ÅSN and Inga

May 04, 2018 in stream

Glass is a collaboration between two Norwegian, producer ÅSN and singer Inga, and it’s a snappy piece of addictively melodic pop.

With a solid beat and layered production and appropriately crystalline vocals from Inga, this is a little slice of musical determination to move through the turgid reality of your day-to-day. Glass depicts the compromises and complexity that become a reality of long term relationships and how that contrasts to the. sense of relative simplicity experienced in the early days of love.

These Days. I Don't Know

Stream: These Days. I Don't Know - Goss

May 04, 2018 in stream

These Days. I Don’t Know is the new single from Danish alt-pop musician Goss and it follows in the wake of previous hits I Want To Know????? and Soo Bad.

There is an interesting collision at play on this new track from Goss. The artist himself has commented on this, but it feels both urgent and lackadaisical, rapid yet laid back, introspective yet publicly so. The production work here seems to weave its way around Goss’ bruised vocal performance, a little like everything is suspended in mid-air. A moment captured and preserved. That outro is just so perfect too.

Describing the track Goss says:

"Lyrically I am inspired by this new scene of poets writing about the internet, digital currencies, software, etc. I always felt the internet was an unpoetic place but I think this new wave of poets are making the complexity of the digital world beautiful. On the production side I wanted the track to have a certain pace but at the same time have it feeling somewhat laid back. I love when a production give a feeling of both being fast and slow at the same time. Both melancholic and optimistic, complicated and simple.”

Written by Goss. Produced and mixed by Goss & Tobias Laust. ℗ 2017 Goss. Artwork © 2017 Goss
