The xx are known for some fairly dark music, but Jamie xx’s new solo tune, “Girl,” is a much brighter affair with its chugging bass and shiny synth. It begins very much in the electro-pop vein and quickly morphs into synth pop before it surrenders to a post house sound during what we assume is…

UK producer Stumbleine — aka Peter Cooper — deservedly-earned a reputation as a skillful and even innovative electronic artist during the past few years with intoxicating releases such as his 2012 solo debut, Spiderwebbed, and 2013’s Things Don’t Sparkle Like They Used To. But there was one thing that prevented some listeners from becoming fully

Noblesse Oblige’s “Voices In My Head” is the final song on their stellar 2013 album Affair of the Heart and it’s an uber-moody, downtempo track that just might have you hearing voices in your own head.

A stripped down, acoustic version of a song you never would have guessed could be done acoustically!

The first couple of times I listened to this new Foxy Shazam album, I thought it was terrible. No, I can be more accurate: I thought it was piss poor. My biggest complaint was that the vocals sounded as though they were recorded on a cheap, old blank cassette that sold for 99 cents back

Imagine if Kanye West’s “Street Lights” was covered by a woman. And she sang it, instead of rapping it. Like Foxes’ gorgeous cover of Drake’s “Hold On We’re Going Home.” Well, that’s precisely what we have for you today with Kairos’ beautifully sung version of the Kanye classic.

Estelle has never been boring, but this futuristic song is otherworldly good!
