stream | JAI PAUL • jasmine

Since the release of his first ever single «BTSTU», which even made it into the UK charts in 2011, we didn’t hear that much (nothing actually!) from Jai Paul. But now – finally! – there’s a new Jai Paul demo track floating around the interwebz: «Jasmine». This post-modern R&B banger will be out as a single on UK’s XL Recordings later this year.

mp3 | THE-DRUM • baze

New jam by Brandon & Jeremiah from Chicago’s The-Drum. Free download via the Soundcloud player below. I’m getting more and more into the work of these two guys, brilliant! Get their latest EP Heavy Liquid here.

stream | XXYYXX • ‘fields’ & ‘alone’

XXYYXX. That’s the moniker of Orlando-based youngster Marcel Everett, who just sent us over some of his newest productions/tracks via his label Relief in Abstract Records. Genre? Post-dubstep/jukewave à la xxxy (yeah, the name similarity is pretty funny) or James Blake mixed with chillwave à la Washed Out. Like it.

mp3 | THE-DRUM • omar

Echoing vocal samples. That’s what this brilliant psychedelic post-dubstep track is based on. It comes from The-Drum, a duo by two fellows from Chicago. What a start to the day! More material and information on the guys can be found here.
