Regal Safari




Regal Safari's new track Closer kind of proves that the innately human desire to define everything is becoming increasingly lost in the world of music; where influences are drawn from completely opposing corners of a constantly fluctuating spectrum. This is also the strongest the duo has ever been, as Dan Snaith-esc. vocals echo around quivering guitars and fuzzy synths - it's the sound we've been waiting for all along. Stream below:


Mister Lies




Not even 3 months after the release of Mowgli, Mister Lies is pushing himself to release new material that goes way beyond the comforts of that debut album. Magichour may take 3 or 4 listens to make sense of, but when everything falls into place, the tempestuousness of the whole thing is completely astounding. The track features a great little duo from LA called Knower, who are definitely worth checking out, you can also  grab a free mp3 right here.

Zebra Safari



With the release of Bankrupt! last month, the abundance of Phoenix remixes I've been receiving lately comes as no surprise. My favourite has to be Zebra Safari's take on Entertainment. I've praised the duo for their originality and style in the past, but hearing this within a sea of mediocre, samey remixes just kind of proves they're a cut above the rest.

Julia Losfelt



The most aesthetically pleasing moment of my day involved sitting on a train, staring into a blood orange sunset whilst hearing this song for the very first time, I don't think I've felt as blissed out as I did in that moment for quite a while.

Py.



It was pretty much a year ago when Py released her Tripping on Wisdom mixtape. Collaborating with the likes of George Fitzgerald and Throwing Snow, it turned out to be one of the standout releases of the year in which she basically brought together all that was good about electronic music at the time. June 30th sees the release of her highly anticipated follow-up Polyethers, it's produced by Jimmy Edgar and is every bit as special as I'd hoped it to be. Stream below:

Cambio Sun



There's nothing quite like coming across the perfect piece of music. Take a listen to Intuition from Australian producer Cambio Sun below:


MAUSI



However I phrase this, I'm not going to make this track sound anywhere near as good as it actually is. Basically, MAUSI have recorded this Knowles inspired hybrid-cover of Losing You and Say My Name, and it turns out it's actually pretty incredible. It's summery, it's uplifting, it just works.
