Well ..... this just turned my foul mood frown upside down! Monday's can be brutal and this one has not been kind to me - from the second I opened my eyes I knew everything was going to be shit! But then, I saw this pop up in my soundcloud feed a few minutes ago, and it's brought me to my happy place! Part of the Soulection fam, Insightful has just dropped a very sexy new track "Left Here" that has me swooning. This super chill future soul sound got me all wrapped up in a warm blanket of 'yes please' ..... just what the vibes doctor ordered.

JOYRYDE FT. RICK RO$$ - WINDOWS
Music, Original MixCommentWe are always pleased to talk about new artists, and recently Joyryde was passed my way for a general overall opinion, and he definitely got the stamp of approval. As much as I get pitched artists around these parts, some people seem to always hand me quality jams so shout out to management for this one! Joyryde's latest just dropped - originally started as a collab with Shaquille O'neal, a Rick Ross vocal was used in place and it was so good they just decided to release it - and now we have this bassy hip-hop urban dance track that crushes with all the delicious dirty trap feels!

DRAPER - ALL I SEE (FEAT. LAURA BREHM)
Music, Original MixCommentThis is a fun new record I just got sent over from the UK's Draper. The top line courtesy of the always lovely Laura Brehm on this track is fantastic, I'm digging the upbeat vibes and love the na na na's at the end. A total feel good tune and radio ready hit, this original has hornlike synths, guitars and melodic arps that all contribute to the happy love sprung emotions of the lyrics. Out on Monstercat you can pick up a copy on Beatport here.
RÜFÜS DU SOL - SAY A PRAYER FOR ME + NEW LP JAN. 22
Music, Original MixCommentAhh another Tuesday, another exciting batch of new releases. We're going to start today off with our favorite Aussie trio Rüfüs Du Sol who have not only released another incredible single "Say A Prayer For Me" but has also announced the release of their new LP entitled "Bloom" due out January 22nd on Odesza's already impressive label Foreign Family Collective. "Say A Prayer For Me" will accompany "Like An Animal," and "You Were Wrong," on the LP both singles that have already gotten tons of airplay internationally this fall. With a full slate of tour dates ahead well, I think it's safe to say the guys are already taking 2016 by storm.
SUMif - WANT YOUR LOVE
Music, Original Mix1 CommentComing from Nashville country to synth pop is no easy matter, yeah chord progressions, lyrics and melody cross over well, but vocal styling, sound design, and production are paramount to creating impactful electronic tunes. I'd like to introduce you to Steph Wells aka SUMif. It seems she has made the switch pretty easily. "Want Your Love" is a fantastic record that has tropical infusions, dreamy guitar, chill synths and an in your face, infectiously catchy chorus. Hailing from San Fran this is just her second release and we're excited to be in on the beginning of this.
