The Shadowboxers – I Can’t Stop Thinking About You

More of a synth ballad set against a Tropical backdrop. Vocals are warm and tinged with a bit of melancholy. The melody has a smooth build and then the bass drops for the pre chorus into the chorus to completely engulf the track with warm energy. The vocal melody in the chorus is well crafted and pulled me in further. The Shadowboxers are Scott Tyler, Matt Lipkins and Adam Hoffman.

Pluko – Your Skin

That muted lead line is addicting and grabbed my attention from the get-go. It also doesn’t hurt this track has a sound all of it’s own. The beat has a pocket groove and all the elements come together so cohesively. The track is taken from Pluko’s second studio album, COLOR BLIND. Pluko is Sam Martinsen who has only been on the scene for two years and is rather prolific. For fans of ODESZA.

Marian Hill – like u do (Remix by Clear Eyes)

From the moment when the first kick drops this remix had me. I wasn’t familiar with the original version but was shocked when I heard a female vocal as opposed to the male vocal on the remix. As I checked out the original, which is solid on it’s own, this remix is more in my vein of electronic music that is slightly askewed. Clear Eyes take the original and infuses it with a dub step vibe and grounds the track with more emotion. The builds are never over the top but are tastefully done.

Clear Eyes is the artist project of Jeremy Lloyd from Marian Hill.
