Nebbra | ZHU. | WKND | Sorry | Huxley

ODESZA + Say My Name ft. Zyra (Nebbra Remix)

ODESZA’s In Return was long awaited in the C+A+D ranks. Watching [and dancing along to] their rise has been quite the adventure. Likewise, we’ve kept an eye on Nebbra and couldn’t be happier that he decided to add his own chill trap skill to one of our favourite’s off the album. Vote for him.

CHVRCHES + Gun. (ZHU Remix)

Following the release of the successful NightDay and a ‘Faded’ remix EP, LA’s ZHU decided to make us something a little more heartfelt. He adds his own pitched vocals to cover CHVRCHES’ Gun. The feature came via Triple J, and it’s quite deserving.

WKND x Chet Faker + Lover

WKND’s tropical house cover of Chet Faker’s ‘Like a Version’ cover of Sonia Dada’s ‘Lover [You Don’t Treat Me No Good’ is absolutely splendid. He adds a coastal dance-ability absent from the acoustic. Take it sunbathing.

Sorry + Sextape

The anonymous Frenchmen of Sorry are known only by ‘SEXTAPE’. It is a vocal-free funk-fest to help you get the night started. They’ve an album coming soon and we can’t wait to forgive them for it.
Sorry + Sextape

Huxley + I Want You

‘I Want You’ is the first single off Huxley’s debut, Blurred, and its a huge turn from what we’re used to hearing from him. Not that its a bad thing, seeing as this track is one deep hypnotic trip that has us yearning. Preorder the album here.

Shook | Soundcloud

As you all know, Shook’s disco funk holds a special place in our hearts. Since the release of his dance floor friendly self-titled, he’d been relatively quiet. That is until chilled out baby-maker ‘Violet Hues’ was pushed out in late June. Follow up: ‘New Horizons’ came out today and it breaches a similarly relaxing spectrum. The funk guitar sets the mood so well.

To the keen eye, Shook’s cover photo has left white space that hints at a 3rd in this series. Judging from what is filled in, we can expect the new track to continue with this morning-friendly, mellowed out style we’re hearing. We can’t wait.

The Code | Soundcloud | Download 1|11

UK’s The Code are deciphering all things beats and then putting it all back together in a puzzle that is strictly their own style. They’ve got a lovely alt-R&B and soul sound that we haven’t heard anywhere else. It’s part classic R&B, part future beat, part ambient; and all parts amazing at setting a mellow mood.

Their debut mixtape 1|11 came out a few days ago. It’s free. Get it.

The Code – 1 | 11

Honne | Soundcloud

Smooth R’n’B soul matched with skilled beat progression from British duo Honne looks to be the upper hemisphere’s answer to the Chet Faker and Flume combo – they’ve even got a beard of their own. Affectionate single, ‘Warm on a Cold Night’, has us clutching at passions of our own.

Their remix of Shura’s ‘Just Once’ shows a similarly intoxicating side of their production. We might be addicted and are most certainly warmed by the funky undertones.

Lucian Blomkamp | Soundcloud | Buy Post Nature

Australia’s LUCIANBLOMKAMP got our attention last year with his self-titled EP. It was eerie & ambient looping that gave us a good preview of his methods. His full-length, Post Nature, came out recently and has most certainly kicked our expectations to the curb. The way the album pulls together seems to be a ‘digital criticism’ of music’s conflicted progression towards an electronic era. This anomaly drives the album and can easily be gathered from the hard electronic pulse, haunting and inquisitive thoughts, random pairings of acoustic blues, and overall ambient expressions. It drags you exploratively inward and then piques the senses just when you think you’ve figured it out.

By ‘Shook’ the album has touched so many bases that there’s no point left in trying. And you shouldn’t. In the end, it is clear that the will of Post-Nature is to make you flirt with all-and-other-worldly examinations through an existential kaleidoscope. LUCIANBLOMKAMP’s debut adds a much needed layer of flow for your stream-of-consciousness.
