LIFT ME FROM THE GROUND (FT. SOFIE WINTERSON) - SAN HOLO

Man oh man have we been EAGERLY anticipating some fresh jams from San Holo. Thankfully the bitbird gods heard our prayers and gave us exactly that. 

The Dutch producer came in real hot with not just one, but two singles that give us a bit of insight as to what’s to come in his next album. One of the two songs I want to shine a light on is “Lift Me From The Ground.” Featuring the heavenly, breathy vocals of Sofie Winterson, San’s production compliments her voice exquisitely. He infuses the song with the same energy that is signature to the San Holo brand, combining intoxicating melodies live guitar elements and scattered, sparkling synths. Any and all listeners will surely feel elevated as soon as they lend their ears to "Lift Me From The Ground."

DEON CUSTOM - WITH YOU

The 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.  

YE. - ALRIGHT ALONE (FEAT. JOSH JACOBSON)

Steadily-rising young artist ye. has already bestowed us with two singles off of his anticipated EP. Recently, the NY-based producer finally unveiled 'Trails,' an 8-track EP, in it's entirety. While each and every track on the project retains such divergent qualities, we decided to highlight one of our top picks, "Alright Alone," and leave the rest for you to explore. Ethereal and floaty waves shape ye.'s recently-renovated sound and become the theme of the collaboration with singer/songwriter Josh Jacobson. Heavy influences from artists such as ODESZA, Slow Magic, and Petit Biscuit can all be heard within the synth work as it seamlessly intertwines with Josh's silvery vocals. As a whole, the EP delivers a style that is simply refreshing, and will assuredly have you hitting 'play' over and over.

UNLIKE PLUTO - LATE BLOOMER

Atlanta-native and currently LA-based artist Unlike Pluto has entered the spotlight with his pop-rock, grungy new single “Late Bloomer.” What makes this release so unique is that it is actually a 2-sided track, with another track titled “I Tried Getting High” that exhibits just the same wonderful qualities as his title song. But what also makes his latest so unique is that it is Unlike Pluto's own vocal talents that are on full display, despite his chronic nasal issues. After one listen, you can’t really help but wonder “how much better could his voice get without that set back, and why haven't we been seeing this incredible talent more often?”

That talent only affirms this guy’s creative versatility. Not only does he have a striking vox, but he also happens to be quite the skilled producer- for those who are unfamiliar with his previous works. “Late Bloomer” lays down proof of this through the multi-gifted artist’s clean, crisp and innovative production. Comprising a classical background in piano, which he picked up at the age of 5, drums and clarinet, plus an insatiable passion for electronic music, he has been able to find the quintessential middle ground that defines his musical brand, of which is exposed through these two flawless releases.

SOSO - TRUST (FEAT. MTNS)

It almost felt like ages that I've come across a song that fosters an untapped sound amid the over-saturated electronic music market- that is until I was sent this beauty of a track titled "Trust." Produced by LA-based duo soso and featuring the singer of Australian band MTNS, the three's collaborative talents have sculpted a song that exhibits delicacy, grace and in contrast, excitement. "Trust" encompasses an downtempo percussives that are mixed seamlessly into a cascade of melodic fluttering synths and futuristic notes, adorned with echoing, passioned vocals. The contemporary production of the fresh collaboration surpasses the redundant sounds of current times and paves a path toward a new generation for electronic music.
