Shazeb's April Selection.

I have come across more quality music in the past few weeks than I have in the past 6 months...Maybe I wasn't listening intently enough..Or maybe right now is just a freaking great time for indie music. I have stumbled across quite a few future-superstars and quite a few tracks that will really, really show you the power of synth. Enough talk, lets get to the music.

What i imagine to be the perfect place to listen to these tracks..

Let's start with the finest track i've come across. Seriously though, no track has made me marvel at music quite as much as ''Rumored To Be Real'' by the Bee's Knees since ''Shooting Stars'' by Bag Raiders. and that's saying a lot. Think Chromeo, VALERIE, Hey Champ, and Van She mixed in a blender with a touch of space disco..yes, that is how sexy the Bee's Knees are. Remember the name, they will be huge.

NANTES is an indie-rock group that is, ironically, from the only other place that makes great music-- Australia. Their track ''static'' is in the same style of music as many tracks released by Nate Salman and Waterstrider (check them out ASAP).  Static is a catchy track that you'll have a hard time geting off repeat, so be sure to add it to your weekend playlists!

Bendix Mihle is definitely a very classy producer. He's been touching up tons of vintage disco/funk tracks in just the right way. His edit of the ''Put Your Hands Together'' by the O' Jays is simply bliss (smooth synths and classy rhythms)

Being the esotoric blogger I am, I feel inclined to show you this banger future-house track I stumbled upon earlier this week. Chris Lake is a champ, in every sense of the word. His remix of SNBRN's ''California'' is flat out beast...If you are human, then you will dance to this- such is the beauty of universally great tracks. Be sure to play this at some point at whatever parties/events you're going to this weekend--your friends and family (and haterz?! lol) will thank you.

One of our favorite synth producers, Kris Menace, has also just come out with a brand new remix for Audio District's ''Run Through the Street's.. The track brims with creative, uplifting, almost spiritual synths. Expect what you typically expect from Kris Menace: gold. 






And the last track I want to show you guys is just as beautiful as the first. Solarris's remix of ''Retrograde'' by James Blake needs no explanation... What it really needs is a nice, thorough listen. I haven't heard indie-disco this creative since...since ever...Solarris is definitely on to something, and trust me, he will be going places in future, so be sure to keep an eye on him. 

Film: Ping Pong With Angels.

Film, from Inner Ear Records, are out with their brand new EP ''Eclipse''. It's been a long time since we've heard synthwave as cool as this. All we can think when we hear ''Ping Pong With Angels'' is ''Valerie''. Film's synth is exactly the sound we're looking for. It's cosmic, spiritual, and has a way of inspiring chills. Definitely give this synthwave gem a spin below, and be sure to check out Film's new EP as well. 

The Preatures - Two Tone Melody (GXNXVS Remix)

The Preatures are a rock and roll band from Sydney, Australia. Their second EP 'Is This How You Feel' was recorded and produced by lead guitarist Jack Moffitt and released in 2013. Recently though, they've released some new tracks that have seen plenty of remixes via electronic-based artists. 

Though the Preatures' latest track ,"Two Tone Melody" was pretty kick-ass to begin with, the GXNXVS remix really needs to be given some attention. The track sounds like a blend of Flume and Mansionair, meaning it features intense, eerie vocal samples and deep, progressive backing synths. Definitely worth a listen! 

Give The Preatures some support here, and be sure to follow GXNXVS  here! 

Mullaha- Fly- Exclusive Throwback Premiere!

Mullaha definitely doesn't get as much attention as they should be getting. The UK based electro-pop group is pure synth-pop/electro funk genius. We mean every word of that sentence, especially in regards to their track "Fly". Though "Fly" is relatively old (released around 6 months ago), it didn't receive the attention we thought it should have. A track like this ought to be premiering on Madeon or Daft Punk's labels!

"Fly" features a very synthy, very retro-pop feel almost akin to Madeon's sound. The only difference is that  Mullaha's vocals are far catchier, and far more elegant. Be sure to give the track a listen below, and be sure to give them a follow here! 

Also be sure to check out their new single "Pyrotechniqué" below!
