Sam Dew – Victor

Dying to see this act live.  Missed them at SXSW and then again last week on tour with Ryn Weaver.  All good thought, i've got a feeling the future is bright for young Sam Dew and that there will be more chances.  Add this gem...

Autre Ne Veut – World War Pt. 2

To say I was obsessed with Autre Ne Veut's album, Anxiety, is a bit of an understatement. I loved the dense, layered, and somewhat avant garde brand of R&B that was featured on the album. Now, two years have since passed and Autre Ne Veut (Arthur...

Lewis Del Mar – Memories

The mysteriously prophetic Rockaway Beach based duo strikes again.  The facts on Lewis Del Mar remain largely ambiguous even after having maxed out their stay on top of the Hype Machine main chart last month with Loud(y).  Now Memories, LDM's sophomore single, has repeat performance written all over it.  The...

Chet Faker – 1998 feat. Banks

As is the original cut wasn't sultry enough, Chet Faker just dropped this super choosy upgrade to his 2014 smash 1998. The Banks break kicks in around 1:50. Definitely worth a new spin. ...
