Isaac Tichauer - "Changes"
Sydney born producer Isaac Tichauer's latest track comes via house label French Express and is a lush, melodic slow-burner. With soulful vocals, floating synth melodies and smooth bass tones, "Changes" is resonant and elegantly composed dance music at it's finest.
Octo Octa - "Cause I Love You"
Los Angeles based label 100% Silk has a reputation for releasing slightly left-field, eccentric dance tracks and their latest release from Brooklyn producer Octo Octa is no exception. "Cause I Love You" layers several vocal samples over skittish percussion accompanied by the producers' signature warm melodic synth swells creating a significantly higher energy, more full-bodied vibe than his reflective 2013 LP Between Two Selves.
Kele Okereke - "Come To Me" Ft. Jenny Bastet
Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke is set to release his second solo EP on Crosstown Rebels after seamlessly making the transition from indie rock to house on his Heartbreaker EP. Candy Flip, which drops April 14th, features a noticeably deeper sound, with B-side "Come To Me" boasting a late night atmosphere with vocals from Jenny Bastet.
Ossie - "She Knows (That Love Hurts)"
With releases on Hyperdub and 20/20 Vision to his name, UK producer Ossie leans toward classic NY house on "She Knows (That Love Hurts)," part of his latest EP for WOLF music. The track displays a clear r&b influence, with sultry vocals and a straightforward house rhythm. Look for the EP out on vinyl on March 31st.
