Faces on Film - Waiting for GAThis song is built off the incredible vocal hook - the kind of ‘woo-oo-oo’ that gives you chills and lends you the free gift of a moment to be carried away from your present.

Kid A - BB BleuVirginia-born singer and producer Kid A first released “BB Bleu” last summer as part of her imaginary film soundtrack, PPPONEY OST, a fragile and transporting album… Now, to celebrate the impending completion of her next release, BLCKRSECHLL (Black Rose Chill), which was recorded in Paris with the DJ/producer Agoria, Kid A has remastered “BB Bleu,” one of PPPONEY‘s most affecting songs.
My Roaring Twenties - Red Carpet WeddingMy Roaring Twenties (Jack Frederick) makes a fairly varied amount of sounds under the self described “bedroom pop” genre. He’s just released a four-tracker on bandcamp and soundcloud entitled Red Carpet Wedding. The title track is a killer.

Karl X Johan - FantasiesLoaded with medieval flutes and a dark age mentality, this one aims to smash through your emotional wall. Lower your guard.
Gardland - JawsHis tribal rhythms and trance inducing vocal samples belong in a sweaty Berlin night club, whereas his 808 tom drum and snare patterns should be played on the streets of Chicago where teenagers are footworking all over the place.
S. Carey - Two AnglesFrom the forthcoming EP “Hoyas” out May 8th on Jagjaguwar
Young Montana? - Twenty ’93“Twenty ’93″ is the first original to come from Young Montana? in almost a year, and he’s promised this will be the first of “a wave of new shit hitting the net soon”.

The xx - Shelter (Beat Culture Remix)Yes this song has already been through the remix ringer (so to speak) and normally I kind of just glaze over emails that include “The xx remix” or “Radiohead remix”, etc., but if it includes Beat Culture – I’m listening.
KIDNAP KID – VEHL“Vehl” is one hell of a tune, and I love seeing this music get such a proper treatment.
Friendships - DraverIt’s a thunderous piece that samples and shifts blips of Kelis’ classic masterpiece Milkshake into an experience of being surround an aural experience as thick as a momentous London fog.
KYNAN – He Just Wants To Make LoveI don’t know if I’ve run into a more catchy and immediately accessable three songs than LA’s Joel Kynan Williams aka KYNAN’s newest Abel EP. This is that enjoy-singing-along indie rock that seems to be a rarity these days…and it’s free. Support this dude if he comes to your town – totally worth your $.
