Jamie brings a big bag of soul on this deep bass track. This track just glows with warmth and sounds so good on those cold winter nights.

Alex Clare – Caroline
What a voice, what a track. Dark, atmospheric and drums that land like bombs in this Trip Hop-esque track. O-yeah, and there’s a killer piano riff that floats in and out.

Escort – Cocaine Blues
If you are a fan of old school disco, think more on the Micheal Jackson off the wall variety, then Escort is your call to arms.

M83 – Midnight City
Very reminiscent of a Caribou and boost a Sax solo — been awhile since I heard a Sax solo on synthpop track.

Washed Out – New Theory (RAC Mix)
RAC giving a little backbone to this chillwave track from Washed Out. I also recently heard this in the end credits of How To Make It In America, which is a great show by the way.

Queen Of Hearts – Shoot The Bullet
Produced by The Sound of Arrows and and having all the typical electronic disco flair one would expect to find on a Robyn track. Slick production meets airy vocals and rubbery bassline, excellent night time jam.

Katie Herzig – Free My Mind (RAC Remix)
RAC does no wrong, repeat with me, R A C does no wrong (listen here and here). Seriously, these guys kill it every time, and the kick drums is always fat and warm — jealous I am. Every year RAC makes my best of year lists for a reason. And this is yet another prime example of elevating a track to a higher degree.

Jhameel – Sweet Dreams (Eurythmics cover)
So, Sweet Dreams is in my top five songs of all time and I don’t tolerate covers of this song lightly. However, Jhamell has does it justice with a raw indie sound and pizzicato strings.

Catcall – Satellites
Loving this retro 80′s radio vibe on this track from Catcall. Smooth and soothing are the best descriptors I can think.
By the way, Happy Halloween!!!

Fuck Art, Let’s Dance! – The Conqueror
Apologize for the lack of post, but here is a sticky sweet slice of fun from Fuck Art, Let’s Dance! The general sound on this track, to me, reminds me a bit of Empire of the Sun. Think electronic pop, infused with a more relaxed vibe.

Newtimers – Falling
Ahh, I love me some soul mixed with electronic and pop and that’s exactly the mix we have in this track from Newtimers. Newtimers is a band and a songwriting/production-team consisting of Andreas Cavaco & Tim Lundblad. This track is from their forth coming album titled, “Ego”.

Metronomy – The Bay
This track has grown on me — it’s just a sublime piece of pop that it took several listens for it to really sink in how much I love this track. The instrumentation is very dry, but it’s quickly quenched with lush harmonies and synth stabs.

AlunaGeorge – You Know You Like It
Combining bass wobbles and glitched hip hop beats ala Flying Lotus is the duo known as AlunaGeorge. Aluna’s voice reminds me of Yukimi Nagano of Little Dragon, whom I love. So it should come as no surprise that I feel hard for this track.
