NASAYA - PATTERNS (FEAT. SARA DIAMOND)

NASAYA is oozing all the vibes with his latest “PATTERNS,” featuring equally as cool vocals from Sara Diamond. NASAYA strays from the mainstream realm of electronic music and draws influence from his homeland: an island just outside of Madagascar. Diving deep into his roots, he finds inspiration from the diverse culture of his home. For this release, he pulls elements from 80’s & 90’s-inspired electronic music and soul to create a sultry and serene tune.

“‘PATTERNS’ is the first track I wrote after moving to LA. I was actually sleeping on my friends couch around the time I wrote the first demo. I’m quite attached to this song, I feel that it captures this new period of my life that was just beginning.” -NASAYA

BENJI LEWIS - AWAY

Benji Lewis has been captivating hearts and minds for over a year. His drifting vocals and lush production tug at the heart strings, and his latest single is no exception. “Away” was produced by close collaborator Golden Vessel and their artistic synchronicity shines as they feed off one another’s glow. Another dreamy triumph for Benji, “Away” is an atmospheric indie gem outlined with golden hues. Boasting a resonance that feels almost holy, Benji Lewis continues to capitalize on his already impressive catalog.

[PREMIERE] BINKS X GNOSIS - DEFCON

Frequent collaborators of free form bass BINKS and GNOSIS team up to unveil “Defcon” ahead of their TRANSCENDENCE EP. The last single on the 5-track effort, “Defcon” is a fantastic showcase of tension and release. An eerily melodic build-up ascends its final resting place before soaring into a plane of static resonance. Controlled digital chaos breathes life into a heady outline of impressive sound design. Left of center and tantalizing to boot, “Defcon” is an out-of-this-world triumph that stands as an paramount facet to the forthcoming EP. TRANSCENDENCE drops tomorrow, May 7.

[PREMIERE] MYO - A PARTICLE

Bringing an organic feel to electronic music, London ensemble Myo delivers a fresh feel with their latest single “A Particle.” While everything they touch turns to gold, this track is a moving triumph with hallowed out synths that echo across a field of honey dipped vocals. A dreamy cut brushed with shadowy hues, “A Particle” radiates a new age resonance that forges the path for a new era of dance music. Rounded out with chilling sound design, cut with jagged edges, Myo offers something distinguished in a sea of monotony. Rhythmic and visionary, “A Particle” is not one to miss.

ALIGN - FOUND

Ahead of his upcoming debut EP is ALIGN’s first single from it: “Found.” The Chicago-native has spent quite some time the past few years releasing singles and remixes, honing in on his sound. All of his hard work is finally paying off with INTERTWINE, his debut EP, coming soon. “Found” is the first official peek as to what’s to come, including downtempo tunes and magically light soundscapes.

In a quote from ALIGN, he explains that “elements of ‘Found’ contain calmness yet hold a sense of excitemnet at the same time. I hope that ‘Found’ is something that listeners can collect their thoughts to, as well as relax and have a good time.” That’s the perfect way to describe how this track makes me feel. It instantly increases my mood, and everyone loves a good mood booster! Give the track a listen and keep ALIGN on your radar this year.

AXEL MANSOOR - BUSY

The man is back with another melodic masterpiece. The Mansoor that is. Axel Mansoor, the talented singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist known for his flawless falsetto, catchy lyrical cadence, and glistening guitar licks just dropped his second single of 2019. The track, entitled simply “Busy”, is a chill pop record with sweet synths, sparkly guitar lines, and a message about being so caught up in the constant millennial-grind for success that the important people and things in life fall by the wayside. It’s not quite summer yet, but this tune is getting me primed for chill hangs in the backyard or at the beach. Definitely going on the daytime jams playlist! Go peep!

LMBO - STILL LOVE U

Alt-electronic duo LMBO strikes gold with “Still Love U,” the freshman single to their forthcoming debut EP. Embellished with thunderous synths and luxurious melodies, the dynamic offering is layered with electronic complexities. Their distinguished sound is an explorative journey through geometric sound design and evolving transitions. Paying close attention to the acute technicalities of electronic production, “Still Love U” is a wicked, experimental triumph and an incredible inside look at the EP.

DEVAULT - MAFIA

California got a little bit brighter today as the highly anticipated DEVAULT JADE EP was unveiled. “MAFIA,” the lead single to the 4-track effort is a stunning introduction to the chromatic catalog. The single speaks to the industrial side of electronic music as machine-like bass rivets through a plane of placidity, setting the tone for its successors. A spine chilling, rhythmically dynamic intro, “MAFIA” is as intense as it is moving. The EP was released in parallel to a striking, 13 minute visual aid, solidifying DEVAULT as a tastemaker as well as an artist to watch. Listen to “MAFIA” and the JADE EP today.
