Essential Listening: House and Techno

Just Peachy - Melon Bomb 

Released on Valencia’s theBasement Discos label, the “house music dealers since 2012”, Melon Bomb’s new track melds pure euphoria with thumping club sounds.

For the first minute and a half, it’d be more than fair to pin this track as a light summery tune. But the track takes a sweatier, slightly grimy turn, immediately becoming a club heater with the blissful piano dropping out and a chunky bassline taking the spotlight. 

Going from dreamy to punchy in an instant, Melon Bomb, adored on the underground scene, has done it again.

Essential Listening: Indie and Alternative

 

All Night - Ginger Root

California’s Ginger Root is putting out a new album in September titled SHINBANGUMI. Giving us the first taste of what’s to come, Lew (the mastermind behind Ginger Root) has dropped ‘All Night’ and ‘There Was A Time’. Funky as hell, we went with the former. 

Submit to the irresistible groove of ‘All Night’ with its wacky bassline. Clap along with the claps in the track. Appreciate its stunning production and unpredictable chord progressions. Give it a spin, it’s a goodun.

Essential Listening: Drum & Bass and Jungle

 

Blow My Mind - Flava D remix

Remixing Arielle Free and GHSTGHSTGHST’s ‘Blow My Mind’, Flava D, one of the top producers in DnB, has totally flipped the track, bringing in massive basslines and that amped-up energy that only drum and bass can provide.

When you compare her remix to the original, you can tell it’s the same track but it’s still incredible how D crafted the vibes she did, making something totally different to the original. 

Listen to it, enjoy it, then grab your Flava D tickets below.

Essential Listening: Hip-Hop and Jazz

 

Satellite Business 2.0 - Sampha & Little Simz 

Sampha brings us the second part of ‘Satellite Business’, elevating the track with a feature from arguably one of the best rappers in the UK right now, Little Simz. 

Extending the track (much to the delight of many of his fans), this version is much easier to sink into and lose yourself in. If you haven’t pressed play yet, why are you waiting? 

While we would’ve loved a longer verse from Simz, ‘Satellite Business 2.0’ definitely still bangs. More of this collab, please!
