[PREMIERE] ARK PATROL - CURIOUS (FT. VICTORIA ZARO)

We've got a full slate of awesome new music to support today, but I'm going to start things off with this killer new single from Boston's Ark Patrol. "Curious" is a mysterious sounding electronic pop tune full of sweet melodies and lush sounds that move forward with robotic like precision. Victoria Zaro's vocals keeps you locked into the lyrics with a melancholy tone that both entrances and tugs you into her pensive state of being. The record is built with light and charming synth sounds and melodies, but yet the combination of it all with Victoria's vocals result in a somber sounding tune. According to the artist "The sounds and song structure are a callback to a more 90s - 00s pop style. Alternative electronic pop. It would be nice if this song reminded listeners of what's out there. The styles we've left behind as a world and the room there is still left to discover as a generation.” Out today on Heroic recordings you can stream "Curious" here. 

DECARLO - LIT RIGHT NOW

I'm keeping the new artist streak I have going on today alive with this ridiculously smooth debut from DeCarlo. The Brazilian born singer will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up with the way he expertly blends falsetto highs, meandering vocal solos and sexy lyrcism. The back beat of this R&B ballad produced by KRS keeps it relatively simple which lets DeCarlo take point and lead the way. The guitar solo at the end is just the icing on this LIT cake. Grab your bae and snuggle up to this banger of a slow jam. You can grab this as a free download here. 

FLUSH - TAKING CHANCES (FEAT. AVA GOLD)

Ok it's time to amp things up a bit, and this disco dance floor heater "Taking Chances" from Flush is exactly the kind of upbeat jam I know you were looking for. The groovy guitar, vocal ooh's and Ava Gold's lush vocals come together on top of the spirited drumming resulting in sun soaked anthem perfect for the looming weekend. I don't have a whole lot of info on Flush at the moment, but if they keep putting out killer disco gems like this I believe we'll be talking about them much more. You can grab this single as limited Free Download from Tipsy Records here, and the single will be available on all retailers October 2nd.   

JULIA KNIGHT - GHOST OF YOU

This debut single from Nashville's Julia Knight is sweet as candy. The dreamlike cascading synths in the beginning become a cloud like cushion supporting Julia's endearingly vulnerable vocals. The chorus hits and I instantly conjure up music video-esque imagery of a couple running along the beach, driving top down along the coast, and running through a field with sparklers ha ha catch my drift? Yeah...yeah I know I'm cheesy, but a record like this just totally hits the heart strings. The single hits Spotify tomorrow Sept. 30.

LINCOLN JESSER - BETWEEN THESE LINES FEAT. QUIÑ

Lincoln Jesser returns with another vibe-y deep house cut that's showing off his tropical side. "Between These Lines" is laid back tune that meanders its way forward with ease as the synth stabs lead us into fun drop with a vocal type chop/synth (I can't tell the difference sometimes now-a-days) that adds the exclamation point to the beautiful top line provided by Quiñ. We finally have an announced date of his Casa Mirage EP due November 18. No doubt this single will be included, and as we find out more from the track listing you will be the first to know. You can also stream this from Spinnin' here.

NERVO - ANYWHERE YOU GO (FEAT. TIMMY TRUMPET)

It's been a while since the NERVO twins have put out any music, and judging by the sound of their new single "Anywhere You Go" I can see why. Foregoing the progressive roots that made their start, the girls have chilled it down instead going for a much vibe-i-er, pop friendly tune. The record also prominently features trumpet courtesy of Timmy Trumpet resulting in an smooth house tune that's 100% ready for the electronic community to re-work and re-create. Until the plethora of remixes arrive take a second and enjoy the original. You purchase the single from Monstercat here or stream on Spotify here.  

GOSH PITH - TRUE BLUE

Day two of ridiculous heat in LA. I've got every fan in my house working overtime, but just about the only thing cooling me down is this amazing new single from Gosh Pith. The Detroit based duo has been slowly gaining momentum since their formation back in 2014. They received early buzz for their debut EP 'Gold Chain,' and have since gone on to release the singles "In My Car" which was recorded in one of Detroit's oldest churches recently re-purposed for recording, and now this single "True Blue." "True Blue" is a wonderful blend of indie pop and electronic that showcases the band's uncanny ability of combining various vocal effects and obscure sounds with electronic rhythm, guitar and synth bass. Josh Smith's vocals perfectly slide into the production with ease, which in my mind really separate this duo from the pack. They're about to head out on a Fall tour in the Midwest and you can get tour details at their website.

SNBRN - LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND

It is ridiculously hot in LA today. The sun is scorching everything and the weather report is reading 100 pretty much all over town. Sounds like perfect timing for a new SNBRN record! Just like the weather LA is getting BRNT to a crisp over his new Swedish House Mafia cover of "Leave The World Behind." Teaming up with the always impeccable Kaleena Zanders for a second time (check out SNBRN's hot cover of California Love), the two have discovered a successful system for updating and rejuvenating seemingly overworked tunes. In true SNBRN fashion the record is packed with strings, piano, deep kicks, horns and he's chosen to go with a fun pan flute sounding melody that adds that tropical crisp to this Mai Tai of a tune. SNBRN is keeping the summer alive in September, and with LA scorching the way it is, I'm completely on board. You can stream on Spotify here or buy on Beatport here. San Francisco don't sleep on getting tickets to see SNBRN at Mezzanine Saturday November 19th. Grab them tickets below:     

EAU CLAIRE - ALL THE WONDER + EP

Fresh on the heels of the creation of her very own label Feed Me Disco, Eau Claire wows with debut EP "All the Wonder". The first and signature track of the EP features for the first time Eau Claire's own vocals laid over keyboard reminiscent of all those tracks that made you first fall in love with house music. The EP's second track "Room" follows up with a one-two combo from DC's own Camille Michelle Gray and Cautious Clay, providing vocal support and a saxophone solo respectively. Following the EP release, Eau Claire will make her way down the Eastern Seaboard on tour at the end of September and into October. Between shows and future releases through Feed Me Disco, as well as 3 years of experience under her belt, you better believe Eau Claire is a force to be reckoned with.
