UK duo GirlsOnDrugs (Luke Lount & Kat McHugh) have got me all out of sorts. The dark and industrial vibe is driving me deep. There’s a growing space in my head.
The droning bass is reverberating off the walls. Wistful.
The whining synth leaves behind echoed streaks like neon on water.
The yearning vocals promise there’s more.
I feel like I’m shooting through Tron. Destination: anywhere.
Everywhere.
Sydney based aywy. (pronounced: A-Y) makes bedroom beats for all your impassioned escapades. His remixes are equally amorous. He recently “free-leased” All Yours on Flow-Fi. Get it and get at it.

PillowTalk | Buy Je Ne Sais Quoi
Wolf+Lamb artists PillowTalk believe in sexy-smooth; 2011’s The Come Back exposed me to that. Their recent (and first) LP Je Ne Sais Quoi is a fusion of R&B, disco, house, dance, pop, and techno [D.A.G.!] that has surpassed all my expectations and has taken over our ears here at C+A+D. It’s been nearly 2 months of listening and we’re still finding out why we love it so much.
I like to think it is due to the heart-warming dreaminess in each track. Opener, ‘Our Story’, sets it up perfectly – this album is a soulful sonic dance adventure. The stories may differ, but the feel-good soul is absolute. They’ve put Je Ne Sais Quoi up for your free streaming pleasure on SoundCloud. Show the crew some love and buy it!
While you’re here, check out one of my all-time favourite mixes too.

I first found out about Alessandro Addea, stage name: Addal, at the end of Coachella Weekend 1. EMOTIONAL #3 provided the perfect net for the oft-dreaded Coachella Blues. I delved deeper into his sound and lost myself in love with the headiness of Waves ft. Neenah and Morning In Love ft. Lisa May.
A few days ago, along came EMOTIONAL #4; hands down one of the best mixes I’ve heard in a while. The seemingly random, yet undeniably appropriate, genre mix of songs (ZHU and Shiba San come out of nowhere) is an attestation to his skill. It will transport you into another dimension right from the get-go. I’m definitely looking forward to a live set.
