A young producer from Sheffield packs up his things after graduating from university to travel through India for six months. Upon return, he releases a beautiful EP that contains his musical interpretations of his glances upon the horizon. This is not the plot of the new Nicholas Sparks novel, but the story behind Stewart Green aka Carnivals‘ new EP “Humility”. Anyone with the slightest trace of longing in their system will be sold after three seconds. Dive in!

Recently Jobe released his EP “Broken” on London based Resonance Records . The title track is an epically spaced out deep house tune with a base line to fall in love with. After you’ve fallen in love you definitely will want to listen to track over and over again – so, you better should download it!

Having been a world renowned Producer and Disc Jockey of Housemusic for more than 20 years, we’re quite positive the air connection in our heading has surely shown up on Jori Hulkonnen’s travel itinerary many times over the years. And it sums up this recent track of his rather shrewdly. As a forerunner to his new LP entitled “Negative Time”, he brings us his “Options” EP on My Favorite Robot Records with remixes by Tomas Barfod and Arto Mwambe. The latter caused quite a stir with their debut “Girl You Know It’s Arto Mwambe” a couple of years back, when many DJs mistakenly suspected a new African House Sensation behind the name, while their actually a Frankfurt-based duo associated with the legendary club Robert Johnson. So, it’s no surprise such a jumbo merger would generate nothing but quality output. Push the play button and download the track for free!!!

The Italian Slok considers himself more of a great pasta chef than an underground contemporary electronic music artist…we’re not buying it, because for his new release for Circle Music he teamed up with his brothers in crime My Favourite Robot. „Feel Alive“ is a contemporary house monster which mixes up the goods of nineties house like warm organ chords and an oldschool styled bassline with MFRs sleepy melancholic vocals. Deep and sexy indeed!

Matthias Zimmermann, heavyweight new talent on the bass and post-dubstep scene brings us his first vinyl release on Tigersushi after his debut EP on Sound Pellegrino and a single on the coolish Discobelle Blog/Label. The tune we chose sounds like it is 100% made for the Balearic Islands. A groovy beat that catches you and makes you wanna dance, synth melodies that make you wanna fly high! Let the sunrise come.

Here’s an interesting one for you. Mungolian Jet Set released the original track for this song, “We Are The Shining,” almost a year ago. Then, a couple weeks back, we got wind of this remix of the song by Skatebård, a Bergen-based Norwegian producer who is best known for his hip-hop productions with Side Brok. We’re not sure why this is just seeing the light of day now, but we’re certainly glad it is… And we’re happy to share it with you!

How To Dress Well is the stage name of Tom Krell, a Chicago-based musician with an ear equally attuned for R&B and ambience. “Ocean Floor For Everything” is the first single from his upcoming full length “Total Loss” on Weird World Record Co/ Domino. It’s beautiful.

Marie Madeleine is a lovely French that coos and chants her way through super catchy dance tunes. Or at least that’s what we thought. On the newest Marie Madeleine song, “The Nihilist Song,” there’s no trace of the vocals that first caught our attention in “Swimming Pool,” but instead cooing and chanting about absurdist philosophy from a deep-voiced man. Well, whatever Marie Madeleine is, there’s a great new remix of “The Nihilist Song” from Rubinskee, and we’re streaming it here.

Shadowbox is the nom de plume of Bonnie Baxter, a Brooklyn-based producer, singer and songwriter who made today’s HUGO Track. The song is called ‘AM’, and it pulls on a lot of the sounds of the moment – droning synths, psychedelic harmonies, noises that make you think of the word ‘witch’. We’re giving it away for free, and there’s a nice video to go with the song below.
