Club Bistro – Bachelor’s Handbag

PLÉTHORE – Directions (Polocorp remix)
Polocorp (one half of Polo & Pan) reimagined Pléthore’s track “Directions,” taking it toward the dancefloor and a spirit of pure let go.
Goldroom – California Kiss
L.A. based producer Josh Legg (aka Goldroom) needs no introduction. He’s known for his epic summer tunes and (by contrast) his intimate High Seas Tours (an annual concert series set aboard luxury yachts in cities around the world). His latest single, “California Kiss,” brings all of that together in a new single just dripping in summer.
Cielo – Time Is Over
It started with a dusty sample and grew into something between late-night electronics and Mediterranean melancholy… “Time is Over” is the first taste of Cielo’s debut EP. And it is hypnotically good.
Crewcutz – Late Night Moves
Now let’s get things moving with the new single from Brazilian duo Crewcutz. Known for their infectious grooves and captivating vocals, their new single, “Late Night Moves,” does what it says on the tin.
Kryptogram – Talk Different

Minimal deep tech about choosing the dancefloor over a call you’ll never make. Features a real voicemail loop, paired with a sticky live guitar.
BRAVER – Move 37
This fast house track by Danish producer, BRAVER, dwells in a catchy chord riff that weaves into a funky backbeat. It’s called “Move 37” and it is part of a Various Artist compilation compiling artists orbiting the Copenhagen community radio “Panini.”
SCAM – See Feel Touch Die
Icelandic electro-pop duo SCAM’s “See Feel Touch Die” feels both ritualistic, suspenseful and exciting: a testament to the relentlessness of mother nature in both her repetition and unpredictability.
Chroma Glow x MEGAS – Restore II
Synthwave producer out of Boston, Chroma Glow teams up with Megas to create the sequal to “Restore I.” And it’s absolytely dripping with nostalgic summer style.
Bajune Tobeta – After the Silence (feat. Christian Fennesz)
Now to slow things down a bit with a beautifully ambient electonric track by Tokyo’s Bajune Tobeta. The single is called “After the Silence” and it taps on Christian Fennesz to help create a textually serene track that explores their deep connection via their mutual collaborator Ryuichi Sakamoto.
