[Electro - Pop] Delphic - Baiya

So opinions are divided on this new Delphic track. On one hand people love the new pop vibe, others however miss the old atmospheric elements. "Baiya" clicked with me instantly, it's a much cheerier track than usual, fully loaded with slick hooks, swooning vocal harmonies and a breakbeat vibe. This is probably why I enjoyed it so much. New album Collections is due out on the 28th of January and we are very much looking forward to it.

[Indie - Rock] Hey Ocean! - Big Blue Wave

It's a bit of a cheesy song but Hey Ocean! do cheesy oh so very well. The Canadian rockers released this one a while back on their third album IS earlier this year but hasn't received the recognition it deserves. Like I said before it's one of those typically corny/cheesy love songs but at the very same time it is quite catchy. Fun fact, the lead singer Ashleigh Ball is the voice of My Little Pony's Rainbow Dash and one of the Care Bears I think.

[Electronic] Goldroom - Sweetness Alive (feat. S L L)

Goldroom (aka Josh Legg from Nightwaves) has a brand new track out which kind of slipped under the radar for me. Featuring the luscious vocals of SLL (Formerly Saint Lou Lou), Goldroom presents us with another original track after a stint of remixes - and this one was well worth the wait. "Sweetness Alive" is an amalgamation of dreamy synths, emotive vocals, and tropical disco grooves perfect for any occasion.

[Hip - Hop] Big Boi - She Hates Me (feat. Kid Cudi)

With Big Boi's imminent release of his second album Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors he has shared yet another track. Now this track "She Hates Me" is a collaboration worth writing about. It features the one and only Kid Cudi who has been quite the busy rapper of late. No doubt anytime Cudi features in a song, it instantaneously becomes a whole lot smoother and bearable. Well we've almost heard half of the album and its sounding decent.

[Indie - Rock] Steelwells - Hands Up

5 piece California rockers Steelwells have gifted us a free download of their 4 track Cool Kids EP this week and it's definitely worth a listen. Can't speak much about their older work but if it's any consolation I am thoroughly enjoying their new stuff! It's a bright, guitar based EP full of colourful melodies and "Hands Up" is a perfect way to start anyone's journey into the Steelwells music. I get the impression that they're a really nice bunch of guys.

[Hip - Hop] Chill Bump - The Eponym

Did someone order some fresh French hip - hop? Now I normally don't post a lot of this genre, but when I do - it's awesome! Chill Bump are a rap duo straight out of France and "The Eponym" is their latest release from their soon to be released EP The Loop. I think what I like the most about these guys is that their whole feel is so DIY. It's not pre manufactured or recycled material they're using. Really enjoying the samples they use in this one.
