July 6, 2018 marks the rise of a fresh new UK-based label, Absent Mind Records. The label’s debut release casts the Australian LUNA MAY, a striking flower child with a noticeably spooky aura. “Silly Boys” is a feminine anthem pollinated with strength and ease. LUNA’s female prowess dominates a smoked out beat that builds avenues of slackened sentiments and ancient philosophies. Confidently stitched together by the shaky hand of feminism, her temptation is palpable in “Silly Boys,” giving rise to a genderless sort of resilience. Lo-fi and bedroom ready, “Silly Boys” is succulent, drifting and lush, yet defined by moments of grit and backbone. A myriad of musical arsenals collide to create a sonic ebb and flow of emotions and allure. Righteously witchy, LUNA MAY is setting the standard for Absent Mind Records, watch this space for more from the UK label.

DEON CUSTOM - WITH YOU
Music, Original MixCommentThe San Holo-founded bitbird label has been on a serious roll since it was started in 2014. They've been signing young musical visionaries left and right who are indisputably paving the path towards the future for electronic music. An example of one of these power players is Dutch artist Deon Custom. He recently released his single "With You," which comes with much variegation as it pulls elements from multiple genres such as chill, indie, lofi, experimental and electronic. The song gives way to a psychedelic journey as it delicately weaves intermittent waves of both dissonant and constant harmonies through a down-tempo beat and a spectrum of glitchy synths. To say the least, I'm definitely looking forward to hearing what else Deon has in store for 2018.

BEAUVOIS - JUPITER
CommentThere is nothing sweeter during the summertime than the music that reminds us it is exactly that time of the year. I’m talking about the music that fills us with warmth and joy, almost instantly spreading smiles across our faces as it prepares us for the greeting of sunshine and blue skies. When I stumbled upon Beauvois - widely recognized for his moniker Kidswaste, in addition to being 1/6 of French EDM boy band (if you will) Slow Hours - and his newly released EP, ‘Dimensions,’ I instantly fell head over heels. Though I would love to cover the entire project, it would probably round out to the length of a college thesis. With that said, I wanted to highlight one track in particular, “Jupiter.”
The multi-talented artist nearly makes time stand still as he exhibits his refined musical abilties through the single. Introducing “Jupiter” with tender guitar riffs, the song eases its way into a kaleidoscopic amalgamation of lifting harmonies, sharp percussive plucks, and airy vocal chops- a combination that sends shivers running down your arms. I highly encourage every one of you to take a chance on Beauvois, “Jupiter” and the ‘Dimensions’ EP as a whole, especially if you’re a fan of all around feeling good.

MISDEED - ALEX KENNON (NINETOES REMIX)
CommentDJ Alex Kennon has readily established himself as one of Europe’s most recognizable names. Since his early days, he’s been drawn to the arts and seems to know no bounds in terms of influence. After studying classical guitar and joining various clubs in Italy, he’s opened countless doors and curated support from steadfast partiers in places not limited to Ibiza, Switzerland, London, and Berlin. With his release of “Misdeed” from Oblack Label, we can see he’s set the tone for countless others; garnering the attention of German producer, Ninetoes. This remix of “Misdeed” builds on the original foundation of Kennon’s approach but elevates the favorite by increasing the tempo and introducing resonating sub tones, paired with mesmerizing synth sweeps. Appearing out of seemingly nowhere, Ninetoes has been gaining recognition from DJ’s such as Carl Cox, Jesse Rose, and Koze.
TWO FRIENDS - BANDAID
Music, Original MixCommentWhat started as simple bedroom studio sessions, LA’s electronic duo Two Friends have witnessed an onslaught of upward trajectory in recent years. Revered for their stunning rework of The Killers’ Mr. Brightside, Two Friends continues to leave their lasting influence with their original joints. Their latest drop, “Bandaid” is a robust, funky, summer-ready framework embellished with artistic intricacies. Subtle trap notes wisp around a more prominent, bouncy production leaving space for femme-style vocals to shine with a sense of divinity. Bold, and parade-like, “Bandaid” is a testament to the duet’s broad artistic scope and versatility as producers. Derobe, grab a beer, and get down with this groovy piece from Two Friends.
