A little love for our DC blog broz over at All Things Go. ATG recently launched a record label titled appropriately, ATG Records. Running a label is a tough business, and I give these guys a nod for bringing another label to DC. The Mausi single “sol.” is breezy and cathcy as hell. Grab the 7″ on February 20th, with “sol.” as the A-Side and a Lightwaves remix as the B-Side. Pre-order here.

New video for the single “Lovers” from chillwaver and Athens, Ohio native Brothertiger, aka John Jagos. “Lovers”‘ is off the upcoming album “Golden Years”, set to release on March 27 via Mush Records. We are big fans of BT, and if this single is any indicator, we have a lot to look forward to with new album. Listen up and chill out.

I stumbled upon this gem, thanks to a friend of mine, today. Waterstrider is a sextet that hails from Berkeley, CA and creates chill, fluid, percussion led tracks. Back in August, the six-piece released its debut EP, Constellation, which you can listen to in its entirety below and purchase for $3-5 on the band’s Bandcamp. There, you can also download the record’s title track for free. An LP is supposedly in the works, so keep your eyes peeled. I know I am.
Best Friends hails from Chicago, and specializes in pop-dance gems. The production duo/band’s self-titled EP has been on repeat for days and some tracks have already made it on to my party/workout list. Check out the “video” for “So Far Away” above (my personal favorite off the EP), and the BANGER “Body Rock”. It is not hard to imagine Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, or even Katy Perry singing either of these songs. Grab Best Friends’ EP on iTunes (link here) and party down!

I don’t always appreciate folk tunes nowadays…But when I do, I prefer Dos Equis. Wait, no. Let me start over. The Tinder Box has got this genuinely fresh, worthy-of-playback sound that is rare in the folk industry these days. “These Winds” brings together a lone kick drum with banjo & trumpet, alongside unique, harmony-laden melodies for one helluva bluesgrass track. Good stuff.

New stuff from Evan Voytas off the soon to be released “Feel Me” EP (January 24 Dovecote Records.) The song has a mysterious and sexy vibe with a driving beat and catchy falsetto hook. Get intimate and enjoy…

The year just started, and I am already excited for what it has in store for us music nerds. Right now, I am absolutely in love with Alec Feld, aka Expensive Looks, a young producer out of NY who makes self-proclaimed “polar acid garagewave discohouse, bombastic balearic beasts.” After listening to the first single off his forthcoming debut record, Dark Matters, I think that classification is pretty accurate. The record drops January 17th via Group Tightener.
