  • Edapollo – Gold Light ft. Akacia (Mazoulew Remix)

    If you are a fan of the chilled house flavor of Rufus Du Sol you’ll want to check out this remix from Mazoulew. Mazoulew captured the intent of the original while taking it next level with help from Akaica. The vocals are soft spoken, smokey and intimate. The music is transcendent to an ebb and flow of subtle energies. Overall, Mazoulew infused a bit of tropical flavor and drenched it in deep house goodness. Track can be found on the Gold Light Remixes by Edapollo.

  • Joe Valentine – Free

    For whatever reason, this track reminds me of the sound track to The Beach with Leonardo DiCaprio. Has that laid back chilled vibe that dominated that sound track which had the stand out track from Orbital. It’s probably the reversed string pad sound that kicks off this track and the spoken word. However we depart the tropical island in short order for a more rock infused chorus section that is catchy and infectious. Fans of Whitey will find plenty here to like as well.

  • Meg Smith – Cross My Heart I Hope U Die

    A bit of Amy Winehouse vibe on this new track from Meg Smith. It’s has a chilled and sophisticated sound in the verse section and then gets a bit more groovy and a bit darker in the chorus. I really appreciate the pre-chrous line of ‘…boys like you’ and the pay off when the chorus does land. Now if the title of the track didn’t give it away, then rest assured the lyrics make it painfully obvious this not someone you want to tick off in a romantic way.
