[PREMIERE] NIGHT TALES - ONE
Music, Original MixCommentBack with their 7th single this year, Australian tandem Night Tales deliver “One.” A dreamy disco joint with alt-pop aromas, Night Tales is in tune with their signature sound. The track is steeped in sharp synths with mellow nuances. An easy listening experience tailored for any time of day or season, “One” is unapologetically true to itself. Although the track is markedly electronic, its danceability is confronted by blossoming indie vocal work. Groovy as hell, Night Tales’ latest is just as infectious as expected. Listen to this catchy cut today and watch this space for more from the budding hybrid-electronic tandem.

MICKEY KOJAK - ALL THAT ACID
Music, Original MixCommentMaking a bold statement in the land down under, Sydney’s own Mickey Kojak returns boasting the infinite wonders of psychedelics with “All That Acid.” This nu-disco, Aussie riot is saturated with an unforgiving charisma, breathing life into the most unsuspecting elements of music production. Blending indie electronic cadences with dance floor ready bangers, Mickey Kojak is a testament to radical creativity. “All That Acid” is an eccentric joint, defined by a controlled chaos swathed in deviating electric frequencies. Its lawless nature is tempting, awakening the rebel within. More Fear and Loathing than it is Alice in Wonderland, this far out framework of digital proficiency is a trip in and of itself. Crack your spine and trip out with Mickey Kojak- NOW!
MIDNIGHT POOL PARTY - SIGNALS
Music, Original MixCommentProving to be much more than a duo with an enticing name, Sydney, Australia-based Midnight Pool Party unveils "Signals," a smooth and groovy piece with electrifying spaces. Firm believers in the power of nu-disco, the twosome serves to keep the pioneering genre alive and respected. "Signals" is a cosmic explosion of chill vibes- hold the inevitable chaos resulting from explosions. Midnight Pool Party is making live-electronic music the norm by combining the sounds of digital production with guitar, bass, keys, and in-house vocals. "Signals" was born from delicate frequencies, swept through a filter of jazz and coffee-house intricacies, giving new meaning to modern day groove.
BIG FISH - BULLET IN THE AIR (FEAT. DAVID BLANK)
Music, Original MixCommentDiplo's label, Mad Decent, is more than boat bangers and block parties. The label extends its search for talent all over the world. One Mad Decent DJ/producer, Big Fish, who has gone platinum 6 times, basically runs the entire Urban-Italian hip-hop and dance scene. This acclaimed, demanding producer just dropped a collaborative track, "Bullet In The Air" with David Blank showcasing his captivating vocals. The song takes off with a simple, rolling beat, giving attention to Blank's modern soul lyricism, warming you up for the eclectic masterpiece that it is. While the intro is slow, comparative to the entirety of the track, the first build up is rapid, only to premiere a drop that actually rises with vibrant confidence. It's like old-school soul had baby with modern disco and then told its girlfriend to get lost. Big Fish continues to prove himself as a pioneer not only with this track, but his entire career. See it for yourself via Soundcloud and Spotify.
ELOHIM - HALLUCINATING (CHRISTOFI REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentElohim seems to be the hot ticket right now. If you haven't heard her new tune with our homies Louis the Child "Love is Alive" you gotta get on dat. She's got this other ya knoww freaking charming original "Hallucinating" that's been on repeat in my headphones recently, and I was super stoked when Christofi sent over his version. If you're not too familiar with Christofi yet, you should start to get acquainted. He's steadily building a great catalogue of tunes that are legitimately unique from track to track. His recent "Temptation (feat. Ayer)" was a total feel good jam in much the same way as his version of "Hallucinating." I didn't think it was possible to make Elohim's original more upbeat and fun, but Christofi has found that lightning in a bottle. Pretty much all of Christofi's catalogue is great so I recommend checking all his tunes out on Spotify here. You can also download this remix for free here.
GIGAMESH - SYNCHRONIZE (FT. KALEENA ZANDERS) + TIME TRAVEL LP
Music, Original MixCommentI'm a little late getting to talking about this record, but Gigamesh is definitely one of my absolute faves, and this tune also features miss Kaleena Zanders who's recently become a friend and I just love her and her sumptuous vocals. "Synchronize" is one of the new tracks that recently debuted with the release of his full length LP 'Time Travels' last Friday showcasing hits like "The Music," "History feat. Damon Scott" and "I'd Do It Again" featuring fire vocalist Gavin Turek. "Synchronize" is another perfect example of Gigamesh's nu-disco inspired house that will have you tapping your toes from the second you hit play. The high hat work dazzles, the synths bob and weave, the piano hits with energy and Kaleena's vocals are soulful with oh so much yummy disco flare. I highly recommend giving the whole LP a spin. You can stream/download the LP on your favorite retailer here. You can also catch him live on tour with STRFKR across the US. Tour info available here.
