Tagged under ‘Childhood’ on Soundcloud is another gorgeous, harmonic trip produced by 18-year old Parisian wonder kid Dream Koala. Like ‘We Can’t Be Friends’ before it, ‘Treehouse’ is another emotive, confidently executed offering – this time absorbed by a soft guitar melody with perfectly matched instrumental embellishments.

Having probably released the best EP of the year, Hudson Mohawke & Lunice, collectively known as TNGHT have now unveiled the projects first official video for ‘Bugg’n’. As monstrous as this is, you need to hear it in context to the rest of the EP; Make sure you cop that - out now.

Taking a minimal charge of sub with clonking tech percussivess and sending them spiralling into a funkin’, near-Neptunian bounce, would be this understated niceness from slowly rising 19 year old, Jaw Jam, of Ohio. The clippy sounds and short bursts of wooshing waves recall some sunnier take on a Harmonomix off-shoot, whilst Jaw is self-assured enough to make you wait until 56 secs before letting the groove drop it’s playful bass balls. Plus real talk, my stereo headphones are half-broken and it sounds very good in the left side alone. Sign of something spesh.

Peep Jaw Jam’s flip of Keyshia Cole’s ‘Love’ posted in March and also a very recent EP Untitled which you can stream here. Though, I reckon this cut might be one of his maturest so far

The boys aren’t the only ones doing it big right now.

East meets West in every sense, and the pursuit of warped next level Electro-Soul and proton-powered Hip-Hop blends make LA-residing Beats baby TOKiMONSTA and Philly’s unorthodox Suzi Analogue one formidable unit. They recently got Radio 1 with  ‘Nxt Msg’ but there’s more fantastic moments across Boom like the retro-future take on mid-90s boom-bap R&B that is ‘Time To’ (peep the video trip) or the straight cut-from-Dilla-cloth ‘Mind Of’.

The two radical ladies who’ve never pandered to the concept of playing it safe, after a few years of each doing their respective thing, have really excelled on this dual pallete showcasing Toki’s wonkified Brainfeeder’isms and Suzi’s polarizing, Jazz-pariah vocal approach. Chemistry and understanding between them is palpable. Stream the 11 track album below and download it free courtesy of Scion Ave here.

If you need gentle easing back into the new working week then I have something perfect for the ears. Hailing from the city of Liverpool, Cube Face makes beautifully delicate electronic treats. Soft pads, chopped vocals with clicking drum patterns alongside a subtle but tasty punchy bass. My immediate thought when I listened was Gold Panda, which is never a bad look or comparison. “Called You’ comes off the upcoming Fair Use EP. In the meantime get yourself acquainted with more work over on his Bandcamp and Facebook page.

Hailing from Georgia, Gacha serves up this soft synth bubbler on Apollo Records, which just happens to be the ambient subsidiary of the awesome R&S imprint. Some beautiful guitar lines coupled with chopped and screwed vocals over a buttery beat with enough groove to keep you going til the early hours. You can pick this up in multiple formats here. Expect to have it on repeat for days once copped.

Last night the DJ at Kendrick Lamar’s gig in London played a Cassie tune – it instantly triggered (a random, but) heated debate about her whole existence. We all pretty much made the similar point – that despite not necessarily being the best singer or performer, her first album and lead singles were cold as f*ck. And despite royally crapping on her career by ditching R-Les for Diddy and failing to follow up with anything worth while, her voice and songs continue to get sampled (evidence that despite what anyone may say, is proof that she’s made some type of impact). This probably has something to do with the lack of complexity in her vocal arrangements and tone but either way – it’s always good to hear another producers take on her material.

Enter Sweater Beats. A producer from New York, who by his own accounts makes “music to make your booty bounce”. Listen to his undeniably fragrant take on Cassie’s ‘You & U’, re-titled ‘Make a Move’ – refurbished with 80′s synths, sexy drum patterns and twinkling keys. A vibe.

Expect an EP later this year.

A bit of a tongue twister to pronounce (en-goo-zoo-en-goo-zooo), this LA duo have kept their beats simpler than their name. A concoction of rumbling vibrations roaring throughout crystallised twinkles and airhorns, this track remains mellow yet skank heavy all the same – a sonic state of delirium.

Still waiting for this to receive an official release date….

In the interim, Scottish producer, Koreless provides a preview for his forthcoming new track. Interesting sounds here – comforting and steady bass, with an intense female voice wandering throughout. Part breathy, part distorted, part creepy but it  all works. To give the track it’s force of industrial British sounds, Koreless throws in some twinkling mind blown beeps too.

Full length will be out 16th July.

It’s been a minute since untouchable Parisian beatsmith Onra dropped the outstanding 2010 set Long Distance. Upon his return we’re bathed again in probably some of the warmest digital funk being made across the hemispheres. Fat and sweaty with Ain’t Nobody style bleepings and stomping vintage drums that sound like a cue for a Peruvian cocaine and yacht purchase, this is lifted from his Fool’s Gold Records EP Deep In The Night which is out now on iTunes.
