  • Mahalo – Current Mood (Feat. Cat Lewis)

    Mahalo is back with another solid track and also sees the return of Cat Lewis providing vocals.   If you like this track, be sure to check out Mahalo’s previous release here.

  • Midnight Mystery Club – Alright

    As stated here before, Midnight Mystery Club is one to watch this year.  Their latest single has a bit of a sun drenched California vibe mixed with a laid back electronic beat.  The vocal melody on this just sticks the landing.

    Be on the lookout for the full  length that drops this week on April 7th.

    Lyrics:

    There is no sense in us staying
    Slaved to the fear of some changing
    How will we ever get by
    Guess we won’t know till’ we try

    We’ll be alright

    I get no kicks from complaining
    World will remember you saying
    How will we ever get by
    Guess we won’t know till we try

     

  • Francis Novotny – Between The Lines

    The first time I heard this song it floored me and I continued to play it at least 5 times a day since.  Just a sweet and savory mix of electronic beats and soulful vocals from Francis Novotny.  Easily one of the best tracks I’ve heard this year.

    Short Bio:

    Francis Novotny is a singer, producer and allusive multi-instrumentalist originally hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden.

    Raised on the eclectic record collections and role-model influence of five older siblings, shortly after school he moved to Paris to ostensibly study French (but in reality, to work on his music in the relative peace of a quieter household).

    Here, for a brief time Francis felt compelled to try his hand at making House, before finding his voice (quite literally) in the crowd: now Novotny draws on a colourful and varied mix of styles (glitch-hop, R&B, electro-soul), seemingly as influenced by Hudson Mohawke and Cashmere Cat as the genre-mutating qualities of Gorillaz.

    A glimpse into this eccentric world-view was suggested by ‘Hit & Run’, a playful and experimental instrumental cut quietly uploaded before today’s introduction of ‘Between The Lines’ (all juddering synths, crisp beats, and the first evidence of Francis’ ghostly, romantic vocal). A refreshing and unpredictable new talent.
