[PREMIERE] FAR & FEW - GHOSTED

Hailing from the live music capital of the world, Austin Texas’ Far & Few returns drifting with the same wind that blew them into a slew of successes with their latest release, “Ghost.” Having received notoriety from Alison Wonderland, NEST HQ, Diplo & Friends, and Triple J Radio- Far & Few is capitalizing on their recent admiration with a subtle, poised swagger. The southern duo manipulates sounds that extend far beyond Texas electronic production- striking chords by the likes of electro-R&B, indie-electronic, and a distinct resonance unique enough to call their own.  “Ghost” is a take on Stwo’s classic single, “Haunted.” Remaining a deep sense of respect for the original, Far & Few rewired “Haunted” into a looming, sensually-electro framework that exists at the apex of indie production. Unapologetically themselves, Far & Few is fossilizing their legacy one single at time- watch this space.  

[PREMIERE] NØLL - ANYMORE FEAT. AIDAN JAMES

Texas’ genre-defying mystic nøll just revealed his digitally enchanting single, “anymore” featuring Aidan James. The first single to release from his debut EP, “anymore” is a dynamic labyrinth of notes and bars working together to cast spells on its listener. Vague trap samples glide atop a down-tempo r&b production, where classically digital electronic music expels outward. The lyricism in “anymore” is defined by a robust vocal ebb and flow, flickering with passion and seductive allusiveness. The future is bright for nøll- “anymore” stands as a palpable  testament that music is nothing short of a calling for this young taste-maker. Experimental and approachable- it’s one you need to feel.

"As a producer, it’s always a struggle to decide what you want “your sound” to be. I’ve decided that the only way to derive that authentically is to base it off what YOU think sounds good. Around this time last year, I became obsessed with acoustic guitar sounds. I knew Aidan, who does cool looping things with the ukulele, and sent him a beat based around this one guitar riff. We both bonded over that organic mix of percussion and live guitar. After he sent me the vocal, I knew I wanted to build an atmosphere that fit the somber vibe. To achieve that, I played around with different foley and glitch samples to build a sonic landscape. I always wanted to juxtapose an experimental soundscape with layered harmonies. For the vocals, I wanted it to seem very much like an internal mental struggle with oneself; much like listening to a devil and an angel over your shoulder." - nøll

FLIGHT FACILITIES - NEED YOU FT. NÏKA

Flight Facilities is now boarding for a fantastic 2018 .... better get a seat because missing this trip would be a shame! Our Aussie boys are gearing up for a wild ride, and their latest single is packed full of all that indie dance disco love we've come to expect .... with sensual vocals and funky dance grooves, "Need You ft. NÏKA" is everything! We'll be seeing our boys back in the states later in the year .... and maybe they'll be stopping by one of our events .... maybe! 

THE KNOCKS - RIDE OR DIE FT. FOSTER THE PEOPLE

The Knocks are one of those artists that will always have my heart - and after years of late night dance parties and massive shows (some of the best times of my young life) I will love these two until the end of time! New York city produces some of the best bands, and The Knocks continue to crush that funky dance pop vibe .... better than most. Their new track "Ride or Die ft. Foster The People" is that deep groove we all need.  One listen and you wont be able to resist moving your body! I love everything about this - so should you! 

[PREMIERE] THOREAU - LIKE WE USED TO (FT. JERIS)

The man the myth the growing legend that is Thoreau continues to put together brilliant tracks. His latest "Like We Used To" featuring Jeris is a driving thumper that is equal parts dance floor heater and emotional rollercoaster. Coming off a hot 2017 which brought him a Trap Nation premiere of "Illusion ft. Tina Decara" and a signing to Spotted Records, now we're gifted with this lovely record. Jeris' vocals decry a love that has fallen from the good days accompanied by Thoreau's instrumental full of dramatic drones and a pumping low end that keeps you bobbing from start to finish. This is a terrific new tune from this camp and a great way to start off a soon to be break out year.

KASBO - ALDRIG MER (FEAT. TENDER)

Announcing his debut LP 'Places We Don't Know', Kasbo has dropped an incredibly fluid and pretty new single "Aldrig Mer". This record is a joy to listen to and further cements his place alongside Odesza on their Foreign Family label with some of the best forward thinking indie electronic producers. Having trashed an initial version of the tune, the up and coming swedish producer had this to say about it, "I trashed the entire thing except for the guitar riff part along with the chords. From there I finished up the demo and involved TENDER, who absolutely nailed the emotional vibe without ever transcending into something cheesy which often feels like a risk when doing something "pretty.”" The line between beautiful and cheesy is often hard to ride in music. But given the eloquence of his previous couple singles and the depth of this new one it's easy to hear that Kasbo is really starting to come into his own.  

AIRE ATLANTICA - ON MY OWN (FT. EMILY TERRAN)

While 2017 was a complete and collective disaster, the new year is full of promise and hope. 2018 is making strong women stronger, revolutions are in bloom, and the world of music is looking towards a new horizon. Although 2017 was saturated with heartbreak, it was a prominent year for artists of all trades. It was late 2017 when I first discovered the "September born music producer from NYC," Aire Atlantica. In the midst of a wide-spread American meltdown, I found peace almost exclusively through music, and my serendipitous discovery of Aire Atlantica played a key role in keeping me sane. His taste is distinct, yet strays from the stagnant. His latest release, "On My Own" featuring Park City's female vocalist Emily Terran is a vibrant, indie-electronic piece blending bouncy production punctuated by an R&B-esque cadence. Aire Atlantica's signature production shines and lays the groundwork for Terran's voice to glow. "On My Own" is a bubbly track yet yields moments of sharp intensity, showcasing AA's diverse dexterity. Terran's deeply feminine voice is not necessarily enticing, rather, a demanding force. The duo's musical aesthetic bleeds authenticity in "On My Own" as they blend genres and continue solidifying their come up with a finely tuned synchronicity.  

SŸDE - ABOVE THE CLOUDS (FEAT. OLIVIA REID)

Even if you aren’t familiar with SŸDE and their lightly energetic, sweetly melodic, and tribally rhythmic indie-electronic vibes, then there’s still a pretty good chance you’ve heard their massive first single “Orbit” somewhere over the past year. The duo composed of Will and Mitch, two friendly 18-year-olds out of Melbourne, Australia experienced a rare meteoric rise thanks to strong support from Spotify for their undeniable debut hit single in the form of heavy rotation on numerous official playlists. Now faced with the daunting task of following up with a sophomore track, they’ve partnered up with NYC’s Olivia Reid for “Above The Clouds” which showcases a laid back, sing-songy folk-influenced sound. It’s without a doubt SŸDE though, most noticeably in the percussion and guitar work. “Above The Clouds” is a future folk-pop anthem for Generation Z’s increasingly worldly youth. It’s exciting to see these young musicians getting to share their talent with the world, and I can’t wait for more music from them, hopefully soon.

[PREMIERE] ATLAS KNOX - DO IT

This Monday is a rough one .... with 4 nights of amazing shows this past weekend I've finally caught that fall sickness from too much party + team no sleep! As I forced myself into the office this morning to wrap up some things before I go back home to take a healthy dose of NyQuil and crawl back into bed - I remembered we have a great track for our next premiere! Newcomer Atlas Knox has dropped a shiny new dance gem for our listening pleasure, and it's turning my frown upside down! With bright bouncy dance beats and light playful vocals, "Do It" brings a happy dance vibe that's reminiscent of long summer nights and swooning over first loves! We don't know much about Atlas Knox, but we know we like what we hear!
