Justin Jay Friends – Weatherman 0 (0)

“Weatherman” by Justin Jay is one of my favorite songs released in 2016. Justin Jay has revealed Fantastic Voyage (The Album!) with the release of its first track “Weatherman” via Black Butter Records. Justin Jay decided to take a different route in the rollout of his debut album, arranging a mix of singles and EPs to be released on different labels which will eventually come together in its entirety later on. The album itself represents a conduit of exploration, which is reflected in each track’s distinctive sound. View More Justin Jay Friends – Weatherman 0 (0)

Azealia Banks – The Big Big Beat 0 (0)

"The Big Big Beat" is Azealia Banks at her most undeniable: Her bars are out for blood and zoned-in, matching the vigor of a pounding beat behind her, listing off all the ways she's better than you before a characteristically excellent vocal run. Like the confident club visions of 2012's Fantasea outfitted in the incandescence of Broke With Expensive Taste's "Miss Amor," "The Big Big Beat" is in-your-face impressive, filled with the kind of lush braggadocio the 24-year-old rapper has cut down to a formula.

Kristin Kontrol – X-Communicate 0 (0)

Kristin Kontrol represents not so much an artistic pivot as a quantum leap for Kristin "Dee Dee" Welchez, formerly of Dum Dum Girls. Where that project channeled the peppy vocal harmonies and thwacked tambourines of '60s girl groups, Kristin Kontrol fast-forwards two decades and then blasts into the stratosphere from there. Eighties synth-pop provides the foundation for "X-Communicate," the first single from her upcoming LP; the springy cushion of bass arpeggios, synth pads, and ringing guitars smartly borrows from Hi-NRG acts like Evelyn Thomas and Bananarama as well as sleek, wavy brooders like New Order and Pet Shop Boys. But the results are far too opulent to scan as merely retro. If "X-Communicate" were a look on "Project Runway," it'd find Nina Garcia gushing about how expensive it sounds.

Frankie Cosmos – On the Lips 0 (0)

When you see David Blaine stick an ice pick through his own hand without leaving a mark, the sight can unlock a door in your brain: Is this real? It looks real. If this is real, what is reality? It’s a freeing feeling, as if the world has been made anew right in front of your eyes; by witnessing something senseless, other things begin to make sense. Admittedly, talking about this newfound awareness can make you sound like a rube or an acid casualty, but its power should not be totally denied. Frankie Cosmos’ Greta Kline knows what it’s like to have your mind rearranged by a magic trick. She wrote a song about it. View More Frankie Cosmos – On the Lips 0 (0)

OMI – Midnight Serenade (Kungs Remix) 0 (0)

OMI’s been rolling out his ME 4 U remix album in the last few weeks, and I just finally had the chance to check out the entire thing. I’ve blogged about the Bergs and Boehm remixes already, but I just had a chance to check out Kungs’ take on “Midnight Serenade,” and he turns the uplifting dance-pop anthem into a midnight dance party for the ages. The original track is simplicity at its finest – smooth guitar melodies, infectiously catchy pop croons, and just the right touch of percussion – but Kungs takes this tune and turns it into a beautiful mix.

Digital Farm Animals – True 0 (0)

Dublin-based producer Jay Pryor is light on information at the moment, but his recent releases have the eyes and ears of many turning towards his newfound sound. His recent remix of Digital Farm Animals’ “True” is no exception as he turns the original single into a piano and bass driven deep house gem. The young producer highlights the song’s deeper components, further enriching it with light-hearted percussion and a swirling piano flairs to bring this track to the forefront.
