CHOON OF THE DAY: "WHO DO YOU LOVE" - Kindness feat. Robyn

It's time for the 3rd single from Kindness' excellent new album "Otherness" and I am delighted he chose to release his wonderful collaboration with Robyn, a charming synth pop moment filled with broken beats and early 90's club and urban nostalgia. Melancholic, absorbing and unique. You can listen to an interview with both of the artists, talking about each other, their music inspirations and making of "Who Do You Love?" video HERE if you skip to the 30min mark of the show.

SHREM'S FUTURE ANTHEMS: "WHAT'S IT GONNA BE" - Doc Daneeka feat. Seven Davis Jr

Doc Daneeka's serving another ultimate house stomper with the release of "What's It Gonna Be" from his collaborative EP "From Mine To Mistress" with Seven Davis Jr. As vibrant and dancefloor-ready as its 1990's flavoured official video. The EP is out in Ireland today and elsewhere on Monday via Ten Thousand Yen.

SHREM'S DOUBLE TROUBLE: "WHEN I'M GONE" - Eyedress feat. GEoRGiA /// "STILLS (Eyedress Remix)" - Panes

The atmospheric soundscapes by Eyedress, the most promising musical export from the whole South East Asia, are already such a sonic statement on the global scene of electronic music. The fascinating "When I'm Gone" lived up to my rather high expectations, considering its predecessor, the wondrously peculiar "Nature Trips" is among the greatest singles of the decade so far. Here's Eyedress' new single combined with his mesmerising remix of "Stills" by London based Panes.

SHREM'S WORLDLY DELIGHTS: "SONO" + "TEMPORAL" + "CAER" - Buscabulla

Buscabulla's official blurb says it all really:

"Buscabulla (Spanish slang for troublemaker) is the music project of Puerto Rican designer and Brooklyn resident, Raquel Berrios and Luis Alfredo Del Valle. Heavily influenced by vintage Latin music like salsa gorda, Cuban psych and '80s Argentinian rock, the project combines both electronic and live instrumentation. Their diverse influences make up a hybrid that combines a mellow Caribbean sensibility with subversive wit."

I just stumbled upon this exotic duo browsing through the latest compilation from Kitsuné. With echoes of Trip Hop nostalgia and vintage Latin flavours their first self-titled EP is an instant treat for those musos always peckish for some exciting, fresh global grooves. I am hooked on these intriguingly eerie, ethereal songs since last night. Highly recommended.
