CRAY - PEACHES (RAC MIX)

I’ve been following CRAY for a hot minute. Ever since I stumbled on her Soundcloud and the Mario Bros. themed artwork and video game sample-laden trap tracks caught my eyes and ears, I’ve been watching the rise of the gamer girl who also makes dope beats and tweets hilarious musings about food.

CRAY has come a long way as an artist since her first releases on Soundcloud. She has since started singing on her tracks and developed an indie pop leaning electronic sound. Her latest original single “Peaches” quickly amassed over a quarter of million streams on Spotify alone thanks to a catchy hook, silky vocals, and vibey forward-thinking production. Now we’re lucky enough to have a remix from one of the best remixers in the game, RAC! Everything the dude touches is gold and this “Peaches” mix is no exception. With the addition of gorgeous guitar parts, thick percussion rhythms, and just the right amount of synth embellishments, RAC’s version preserves what made the original great while introducing a new relaxed-yet-bright energy to the track. Go peep this one and add it to your summer playlists now!

On gloomy days like the one we're experiencing over here in New York, we always need some sort of pick me up. For me, that's music.

Produced by close collaborator Golden Vessel, “Us Again” is a spacious, atmospheric composition with a sugary aura. Benji’s robust, honeyed vocals shine at the apex of the track, while the shimmering, perfumed production creates a labyrinth of echoing opportunities. We’re listening, Benji.

PUSHER - SOBER (FEAT. SOREN BRYCE)

Toronto’s own PUSHER returns with indie-dance masterpiece, “Sober” featuring alt-pop vocalist Soren Bryce. Inspired by the eclectic sounds of 90s R&B, jazz, and trap, PUSHER is fossilizing his position as one of the most dynamic rising producers in the game. “Sober” is a tapestry of colliding genres that work together to create a single, signature framework. A bouncy, digital production oscillates Soren Bryce’s distinct vocals- this neon track is saturated with breezy vibrations, defined by an optimistic aura. Refreshing and groovy, “Sober” is ironically intoxicating- awakening the senses with a palpable take on indie-electronic music. Stay tuned for more from PUSHER.

Manipulating a strong sense of musical vibrancy, “Felt Something” is both ethereal and effervescent. Delicate melodies drip from the vocal progressions that ripple throughout the entirety of the track, showcasing the outfit’s seamless synchronicity. Ease into your weekend with the charming sounds of Sleeping Lion and DAVVN.  

SOSO - TRUST (FEAT. MTNS)

It almost felt like ages that I've come across a song that fosters an untapped sound amid the over-saturated electronic music market- that is until I was sent this beauty of a track titled "Trust." Produced by LA-based duo soso and featuring the singer of Australian band MTNS, the three's collaborative talents have sculpted a song that exhibits delicacy, grace and in contrast, excitement. "Trust" encompasses an downtempo percussives that are mixed seamlessly into a cascade of melodic fluttering synths and futuristic notes, adorned with echoing, passioned vocals. The contemporary production of the fresh collaboration surpasses the redundant sounds of current times and paves a path toward a new generation for electronic music.
