Chet Faker - No Diggity (Blackstreet Cover)
#BiSC: To my girls and boys in Vegas, today’s track is for you. This is pre-nightlife, getting ready, sex on a platter. It’s from a little known electro artist who’s about to be more known based on this treatment. Turn it way up. Pour out some champs and dance around an outlandish hotel room for me. Rinse. Repeat.
Theophilus London - Last Name London
Loving this track to death. Theo L has just announced his full length coming in July and done so with this freebie (you pay with a tweet) electo-pop-rap jam that’s got summer written all over it. This guy is flat out killing it…reminds me of the energy coming out of Kid CuDi early on.
MNDR - I Go Away
Simply gorgeous. Slow and sexy and the kind of song that draws you in at the right time if you make it part of your rotation. This is my anthem, she says, and that’s what it should be. I can’t wait to see where MNDR is hoping to take us.
Big ups, again, to Little Ears for hunting this.
Humans - Bike Home
Turn this way up, and prepare to be blown. These guys are supposedly the local party band, which I’ve read and (no joke) heard in my office. I investigated and absolutely love what I’ve heard. It’s completely unique and fun and I’d expect these guys to blow up over the next year.
Big ups to Tina for hunting this.
Brick+Mortar - Told You (not to let go)
This is really unique stuff, and in a lot of ways it sits on the edge of my typical sensibilities, which I appreciate. These guys bill themselves as electro/concrete/indie, and they’re all that and more. Intelligent lyrics, a very raw sound, and a driving aggressive underpinning that amounts to something totally fresh. I’ve exchanged a few emails with John, the drummer, and for what it’s worth he seems like a pretty cool guy. Check out their EP…it isn’t what you’ve heard before.
