ANDY ISLANDS – “Parameters” (spin above)… Some stellar production value here in the “Andy Islands 3” EP. The Red Bull Music Academy alumni hails all the way from Cape Town in South Africa and delivers some steady sounds of electronic nature with a distinctive African flavor. We absolutely fell in dire love for “Parameters” last night (“Crashy” is another good track by the way) as we were compiling this rather long post and un-cluttering our inbox. Which was full of some real great tracks and new artists you’re about to discover. Andy Islands though, was our favorite pick and we’ve got to say that we predict his material will travel well beyond the South African borders, at least we hope he gets recognized for his talent. It’s no surprise that he’s already been featured over at Indie Shuffle and we can’t wait to hear/see this producer do some magic on the decks at some prestigious locations around the world. Keep a very close eye on the dude. He’ll make headlines.

[tab title=”BAILE”]Leaves ft. Felicia Douglass – BAILE is the project led by Reed Kackley. a prolific electronic producer from Brooklyn, in the United States. He describes this track as ‘depressed house’ (in a truly good way) and we cannot agree more. However the track transcends with Felicia Douglass’ (Ava Luna) impressive featuring vocals on this masterful track that is due out on the ‘Matter’ EP, on July 21st via the label that cares the most.

[tab title=”SLOOOM”]Honey – Their tailor-made moniker, an elongated tweak on the ancient word “sloom” – to slumber or doze – aptly decribes the sound of Austin’s newest ambient pop duo. Slooom evokes the dream state: musically atmospheric, conceptually abstract, and tranquil in effect. And the description evidently transpires fully on newest track ‘Honey’ released less than a week ago… Slooom away to this fantastic track :

[tab title=”IGBO”]Gimmie Gimmie – IGBO is a Brooklyn based outfit with connections in and around the music scene there. IGBO stands for INDIGO – GREEN – BROWN – ORANGE.
