One such track that we are currently fans of is ‘Wired’ by Swiss producer, Pablo Nouvelle – the title track from his forthcoming album, which features the soulful vocal tones of Lulu James.
‘Wired’ immediately sucks you in upon first listen. It’s a moody journey that is led by a continual melody with elegant strings and club-enthralling production.

San Diego native, singer-songwriter and visual artist Alice Gray shares her debut single ‘Pink Cadillac’.
Describing her music as “sad songs you want to dance to”, Alice’s sound has a bittersweet edge to it thanks to beautifully planned pop hooks and wistful lyrics.
Love songs don’t have to be all about the doom and gloom of a relationship, they can be about the music you adore. Brooklyn locals, Secret Weapons do just this with uplifting new single, ‘Comeback Season’.
The twosome deliver a positive message about overcoming the odds (specifically the struggles they encountered whilst writing their album), which is further highlighted by the delightful addition of a gospel choir!
It’s out now via Epic.

Paving the way for the next generation of sound, AWAY likes to expose mixed feelings in his music, often touching on confusion, sadness, apathy, and anger.
Belgium duo Madou share tasty new track, ‘Nowehere Else’.
Jochen Sablon and Vincent De Boeck recently started the “no genres, no expectations, no strings attached” project, despite a working relationship dating back for years.
‘Nowhere Else’ channels plenty of Little Dragon style vibes with light chimes throughout the track, alongside some more old school features that tinker on house, garage and R&B.

German duo, Tube & Berger (aka Arndt Roerig and Marko Vidovic) have been producing music for a while now, but it’s only recently that they’ve really sparked our interest. Working hard on evolving their sound from pure club grooves to a more ‘live’ focused indietronica styling, they have quite literally blown us away with their new track, ‘We Are All Stars’.
To help you get used to the transition, the guys have put together a playlist. It fuses indie/electronica/dance into one delicious pot.
GusGus – Crossfade (Maceo Plex Remix)
This has been a huge track in our DJ sets for over 2 years now, we wish we had made it!
Moderat – Running
Big respect to our fellow Germans, Moderat are the best live electronic band in the world right now.
Royksopp – What Else Is There? – Trentemoller Remix
Mid Noughties Electro House classic. Sounding just as epically dark and dangerous today.
Mylo – Destroy Rock n Roll
A track to dance and laugh to at the same time.
RÜFÜS - Innerbloom
Kings of the Electronica new breed smashing it with a chilled masterpiece.
Foals – Late Night – Solomun Remix
Foals are an amazing Indie Rock band and with Solomon on the remix, it was always going to be good…and it is!
The Chemical Brothers – Do it Again
Probably our favourite ever band. We could have chosen loads of their tracks.
SOHN – Conrad
Downtempo brilliance. Spiritual and soulful.
The XX – Crystalised
The perfect mix of chiming guitars, indie vocals and electronic beats sensibilities.
Justice VS Simian – We Are Your Friends
Not sure any rock band has made a better rabble rousing festival anthem in recent times.
