Soundsystem: Diver / AlunaGeorge
Here is the single, Diver, by London-based Island Records duo of Aluna Francis and George Reid; the twosome is known simply as AlunaGeorge. They’re one of many to watch who are emerging in the UK in the genre of what we’ll deem as tech-y pop or contemporary wobble; danceable tracks interweaved with future sounds. Be sure to check […]

Soundsystem: Cyan (Kindness Cover) / Blood Orange
Blood Orange: Last night as a break from production work I’ve been doing, I decided to cover my good friend Adam “Kindness” Bainbridge‘s song Cyan. I used drum elements from Everything Is Embarrassing, then I invited my friend Tracy Antonopoulos (from the band Cable) round to come and sing some backing vocals. Here’s the end product, […]

Soundsystem: Pink Matter Remix / Frank Ocean featuring Andre 3000 & Big Boi
Big Boi takes the initiative and adds his own rap verse to the song Pink Matter from Frank Ocean‘s Channel Orange. The original track originally featured just Andre 3000 but Big Boi’s addition completes the brief Outkast reunion. We feel this remix with the additional verses makes the song even better. –@teemunny pink matter feat. outkast — […]

Soundsystem: This Life / Josef Salvat
This Life is the debut single of Josef Salvat, a London-based music hopeful. We think he has the unique style and vocal talent to blow up. The production is somewhat reminiscent of a more pop-like Woodkid, which is to say it is punctuated by orchestral flourishes and the layering of contrasting sounds. –@teemunny via disco naïveté

London East Enders, brothers and music producing duo, Balistiq, have dropped their self-titled mixtape consisting of 8 tracks for you to download and enjoy. It’s a charged instrumental mix of grime, dancehall, and dubstep which we will deem dubhall. –@teemunny via This Kid is a Problem

Soundsystem: Wiseman (Unreleased) / Frank Ocean
Ocean wrote a fantastic ballad that was truly lovely and poetic in every way, there just wasn’t a scene for it. I could have thrown it in quickly just to have it, but that’s not why he wrote it and not his intention. So I didn’t want to cheapen his effort. But the song is fantastic, […]

Soundsystem: Seashore / Steven A. Clark
R&B singer-songwriter Steven A. Clark broke onto the scene in 2010 with his soul-baring and darkly arranged eight-song LP debut STRIPES, which earned him the title of “Miami’s best independent album of 2011” by local hip hop site The305.com, but it’s with his upcoming project, Fornication Under the Consent of the King that his artistry […]
