Back in 2012, Alex Young was well on his way to becoming a bright star in the trap scene. Still, his more emotively charged work like SWTRWTHR stood out among the black hole mediocrity of perverted brand management.

Fast forward 3 years, and the better part of 2015 spent in the dark soul searching, and 19 year old Alex Young has emerged anew. He has traded away the trap growing pains for an exceedingly poignant and vocal approach to music. Over the last few months he’s teased his debut album, Coming of Age, with 3 tracks and a short movie. Suffice it to say, Alex’s labor of growing up has definitely bore fruit.

66/73 Days

London’s Wolf Alice are at once gritty-punk grungy, and at others homey-folk reflective. Formed in 2010, this now-quartet took until 2015 slowly developing their sound before a debut. That album, My Love is Cool, was among our favourites of last year. Since the start, they’ve only received good reviews; and for absolutely good reason.

Don’t miss out on the Nirvana flashbacks when they take to the stage on Sunday.

Songs:
Moaning Lisa Smile
Your Love’s Whore
Fluffy
Giant Peach

Storms and cold snaps are a weekly affair. Stay warm with these smooth and hypnotizing rhythms; wetness optional.

Felix Pallas – RAKATA

Keep Felix Pallas and RAKATA close. The synthy progressions are so very easy to get lost in.

TENDER – Lost

TENDER tease their second EP with Lost and Afternoon. Their style has really come through: late night, cozy quarters.

Good Morning – To Be Won

Good Morning, it’s time to give up. Recent EP, Glory, from this crew is heavy on the lofi feelings.

Tom Misch x Carmody – Easy Love

Tom Misch and Carmody come together again for a warm and easy affair.

Gnash ft. Olivia O’Brien – I Hate I Love (Perttu Remix)

New on the scene, Perttu takes Gnash‘s hopelessly romantic track with Olivia O’Brien and shifts the low to lively without distracting from the amazing original.

Jahkoy – Odd Future

Toronto’s JAHKOY is far from done with his style of sexy R&B. ‘Odd Future’ is a melancholic self-realization.

RÜFÜS // RÜFÜS DU SOL consistently releases addictive emotive indie-house. New track ‘Say a Prayer for Me’ is no different. The trio are coming off their You Were Right tour and into their far-from-a-slump sophomore release, Bloom, out on Foreign Family and Sweat It Out, January 22. In the meantime, we’ve got 4 singles to sate us. And then Coachella. Our excitement is palpable.

RÜFÜS // RÜFÜS DU SOL – Say a Prayer for Me

RÜFÜS // RÜFÜS DU SOL – Innerbloom

RÜFÜS // RÜFÜS DU SOL – You Were Right

RÜFÜS // RÜFÜS DU SOL – Like an Animal

Several songs released over several months, Marcus Marr & Chet Faker’s Work EP signifies silky Chet over anything is certifiably sexy. Throw the soul of Marcus Marr on backing instrumentals and thus is one emotionally charged set. Next up: seeing them play it all live in its dancey passions.
