One year on from their last single release together, Raeko (Jason Suwito‘s project) and Mating Ritual have teamed up once again, to our delight!
Funky and soulful vocals layered over a sweet, nu-disco backdrop, this is strictly on a ‘Need 2 Know’ basis.

AJÁ ROSE is an Los Angeles-based singer/drummer duo.
We know very little about the couple, only that their forthcoming EP is coming out this summer, and has been produced by Jason Suwito of Sir Sly.
Their debut, ‘Paradise Blue’ combines celestial vocals, invigorating synths and rhythmic drums. We can’t wait to hear more.

RAEKO – Everybody Knows
We are huge fans of Sir Sly, so when we heard that producer Jason Suwito has a project called RAEKO, we jumped straight onto Soundcloud to listen to his new single called ‘Everybody Knows’, featuring Mating Ritual.
Recorded in his studio ‘Noise Coalition’ in Orange County with Mating Ritual, the process of producing the track was relatively straightforward. That’s not to say it’s not a complex track; ‘Everybody Knows’ is full of delicately layered synths offering a deceivingly simplistic groovy sound.
Sounds like: Sir Sly, Collaj (FKA 8th Grader), Lane 8, Zimmer, Goldroom, Huntar

Sir Sly – You Haunt Me
From the first listen to ‘Ghost’, we have been obsessed with Los Angeles trio, Sir Sly.
We are super excited to announce that ‘You Haunt Me’ is the first single to be released from the upcoming debut album with the same title.
The video is crisp and simple, like the basis of the track which is about recovering from a lost love. Despite its poppy sound, the lyrics are understandably melancholic. A true indie love song.
The album will be released via Cherrytree / Interscope Records on 16 September. If you pre-order on iTunes now, you will instantly receive 5 free tracks.
Sounds like: Wolf Gang, Pistol Shrimp, All We Are, Brotherun, Gypsy & The Cat, Jagwar Ma, St. Lucia, The 1975
