Astre | Soundcloud

We can’t express in words how excited we are for Porter Robinson’s upcoming LP, Worlds. Today, we were graced with a remix of his recent single Flicker done by France’s Astre. It’s a cool take with some awesome samples [everybody run, its Gojira!] and an all around more upbeat vibe. All in all, it just makes us more and more excited for Porter’s upcoming show at the Shrine on Sept. 13. We’ll see you there!

Astre’s other tracks lean way more chill and fit surprisingly with the new Porter sounds we’ve heard thus far. There’s a certain triumphant feeling they give off too – perfect for moments of fruition. Check out his free EP!

Darius | Soundcloud

This morning, Majestic Casual got premiering rights for Darius’s new remix of Bondax. Lucky bastards. Ever since Terence put Cherokee on the backburner, he’s consistently given French House aficionados music to drool over. His productions always manage to mentally take you away from where you are; they just simply put you at ease. This release is no different. Combine the textbook Darius funk with Bondax’s soulful vocal choice, and you got yourself a song of the summer. Check it out below along with some extra essentials after the jump.

Bondax – All I See (Darius Remix)

Darius – Hot Hands

Daft Punk – Something About Us (Cherokee Remix)

Darius – Vanyll

The Acid | Soundcloud

The Acid are no strangers to cerebral sounds. This trio is Angeleno Steve Nalepa channeling his skill with atmospheric flow and organic elements, Brit Adam Freeland planning chemical rhythms and cosmic grittiness, and Australian RY X binding it all together with his Thom-ish groaning and Iver melancholy. With all their worldly influences teamed together, they’re synthesizing obscure yet crisp, moody, and heady music for cranial adventures.

Their full length, Liminal comes out July 15. in the meantime keep your senses satiated, or be anticipated, with their 4-track EP.

Get lost, get found

Pham | Soundcloud

Pham has us dreaming in ambient. With foundations in sultry hip hop; his music is suitable for sessions of healthy bedplay. Get lost in some senses.

Nebbra | Soundcloud

Parisian Nebbra is taking the electro hip-hop and trap influence and turning it on its head. He throws all the cuts, cymbals, chimes, whistles, pitched vocals, and hip-hop beats we’re familiar with thanks to Flume on top of calmer indie tracks to create extremely innovative chill music. He switched to this style from nu-disco 3 months ago and has since put out 5 remixes. His “Fall In Love” take even won Phantogram’s remix contest. Each one shows him experimenting deeper and deeper with this type of sound. All we can say is: we can’t wait to see how far this goes.

GirlsOnDrugs

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.

Future

Leo Kalyan | SoundCloud

London dreamer Leo Kalyan has been on our radar for a while; his remixes and covers are nothing short of sexy. His mashup-cover of Duke Dumont’s ‘Need U 100% ft. A*M*E’ and Jessie Ware’s ‘Running’ was what caught our ear. His recent original ‘Temptation’ sparked this spotlight. It’s like silk.
