New Singles from Up and Coming Artists - July 9th, 2023

TOXIC POSITIVITY - THX U MR. HECKER (PRECURSOR)

Vertical Divider

Toxic Positivity blows strangely angular yet surprisingly fluffy electronic clouds through the speakers in this beat devoid, decidedly rhythmic, ever morphing yet comfortingly cohesive electronic patchwork that soothes, stimulates & constantly surprises in equal measures.
Find him right at home in the Slowtronic Playlist.

THE BOY TRAVELER & RYAN STAR - JANUARY 7 (STRAIGHT A)

Boy Traveler's crunchy beats & a warm hook immediately leap through the speakers to grab your attention; swiftly joined by Ryan Star's late night indie soul vocal strains which slice through the dark, subtly distorted nocturnal glitchiness to illuminate the otherwise low lit listening.
Find this casting shadows in the Slow Pop Playlist.

BEAU AUDIO - SAD (SELF RELEASED)

Vertical Divider

You've got to love the warm, low frequencies of the upright bass which act as the one instrument rhythm section for the sliced and diced, melancholic soul of Beau. That might have been enough but the song is then elevated above the stiff competition by some introspective piano & perfectly judged strings to go well clear of the masses & deserve your attention more than most.
Find this track sounding great in the Ambient Pop Playlist.

KIP LAVIE - ALMOST AWAKE AT MIDNIGHT (SELF RELEASED)

I am prone to the odd banger, so I was happy to stumble across Kip LaVie's new track in this week's music onslaught. Here he somehow synergizes  punchy, broken, low frequency laden beats with playful & amiable motifs that should have you on an improvised dance floor throwing some shapes whilst smiling at the good natured vibes.
Find him kicking off the ever-lively End of Week Freak Playlist.
