Lemonade Baby releases his new single, ‘i blocked ur account’.
Discussing toxic relationships and how easy (or sometimes hard) to cut someone out with a click of a button, the sugary sweet distorted pop track is young and playful, taking production inspiration from Charlie Puth’s Tiktok and Julian Casablancas’ solo album, ‘Phrazes For The Young’.
Sounds like: BAYNK, Aluna George, SG Lewis, Pnau, Máni Orrason, Julian Casablancas
Σtella
Greek artist, Σtella has just released her highly anticipated sophomore album, ‘Works For You’.
To celebrate, Σtella has put together a playlist for us. Enjoy!
Moscoman, Manfredas – Dévoué (Manfredas Remix)
First time I heard this song I kinda felt like I was tripping, in a good way. I’m happy to have shared the stage with Moscoman once.
Arthur Russell – Springfield
Arthur Russell will always remain a mystery to me. It ‘s music from outer space in a way.
Yello – Oh Yeah
Really don’t know how to comment on this. Just a good listen and a place for phantasies.
Unknown Mortal Orchestra – Multi-Love
“She don’t want to be a man or a woman”. Good for her.
Grace Jones – Pull Up To The Bumper
I love this song so much. It explodes in my head every time.
Julian Casablancas – 11th Dimension
This track takes me back in time, it’s got that heart ache feeling you just can’t miss.
KAYTRANADA – BREAKDANCE LESSON N.1
A DJ and a good friend of mine introduced me to this song by Kaytranada, and now I play it whenever I wanna shake my head a little.
Red Axes, Abrão – Balma (feat. Abrão)
Loving Red Axes this year, they did a show In Athens last month. Good boys.
Jean-Jacques Perrey – Cat In The Night
I sadly found out about Jean Jacques Perrey the day he died, late 2016. This man was a genius and is really worthy to listen to pretty much everything he’s done.
Toro y Moi – Lilly
“This place is up for grabs, I give it to you for free”, that line was stuck in my head for a long time. Really good sound.
Fleetwood Mac – Never Going Back Again – Remastered
The album “Rumours” has been one of my favorite albums ever, but just recently I gave a lot of attention to this track in the album. How sweet.
LA Priest – Lorry Park
LA Priest hit me in the stomach at around 0:50 with that beat, oh man, thanks.
Alan Hawkshaw – Beach Journey
Super fine tune by Mr Alan Hawkshaw. This track takes me places I didn’t know existed.
Vulfpeck – Back Pocket
Bravo, Bravo, Bravo to Volfpeck for this massive funky smart track.

Telepathe
Telepathe (aka multi-instrumentalists Busy Gangnes and Melissa Livaudais) have quite a history.
The duo initially started recording music in 2006 by moving to a warehouse in Bushwick and recording their first EP ‘Farewell Forest’. This was followed in 2008 with their debut album ‘Dance Mother’, which they worked on with TV on the Radio‘s Dave Sitek.
They later quit their day jobs and relocated to Los Angeles to record the album in a few short and intense months. “Melissa and I decided to leave NY for a couple of months during the winter to write and record this new album,” Busy explains. “We rented an apartment on Sunset Boulevard. At the time we were reading a lot Science Fiction and researching California cults, which became themes that seeped into our music.”
Watch the effortlessly cool video for ‘Drown Around Me’ below:
The track has been taken from their long-awaited second album ‘Destroyer’. Co-produced with Lewis Pesacov and mixed by Matty Green, the girls have started their own label BZML to release their album on their own terms.
Sounds like: Ballet School, Monogem, Madonna, LCD Soundsystem, Tom Vek, Rilo Kiley
