Cut Copy - "Free Your Mind"
After recently announcing their fourth album, Free Your Mind, Australian synth-pop band Cut Copy shared the records' soulful, psychedelic title track. Heavily indebted to the sounds of the Madchester psychedelic dance scene of the late 80's, the band combines retro soul sampling with playful percussion and a house synth progression with accompanying piano chords. The band has been working with frequent Flaming Lips and Tame Impala producer Dave Fridmann, who handled mixing duties on this track, bringing together some of the best elements in dance music to make for an instantly memorable pop song.
Samo Sound Boy - "Your Love"
Los Angeles based producer and Body High label co-founder Samo Sound Boy is releasing a new EP October 8th which includes, "Your Love," an energetic acid-house jam with warm synth textures and hard-hitting percussion. Including an atmospheric vocal sample, the track adds an intensity to soulful house that creates an intriguing, forward-looking take on the genre.
Phaeleh - "Make You Feel"
Bristol producer Matt Preston, better known as Phaeleh, recently dropped this mellowed 2-step beat that uses layer upon layer of vocal samples for both atmosphere and to melodically carry the track. Despite being laden with array of interesting sounds, the track avoids coming across as overcrowded and elegantly breaks at the two and a half minute mark to transition to an ambient, blissful outro.
The Juan Maclean - "Feel Like Movin"
Taken from his incredible Essential Mix for BBC radio 1, this piano-driven house cut from DFA affiliate Juan Maclean features vocals from ex-LCD Soundsystem keyboardist and longtime collaborator Nancy Whang. The pair also teamed up for the single "You Are My Destiny" earlier this year and "Feel Like Movin" is no exception to the singer's routine habit of making insanely catchy dance floor jams. The track appears on a split 12" single with label mates Shit Robot released earlier this week.
