piri & tommy - "yoyo"
piri & tommy return with this appealing, soft-toned lounge track which would sound great at 10 AM or 4 AM alike.

The first single from Babymorocco’s forthcoming debut album is typically sleazy, sexy and mega, featuring an assist from his besties the Frost Children.
Major Lazer and M.I.A. - "Where's The Daddy?"
This outtake from the first Major Lazer album, released to commemorate its 15th anniversary, is sparky and ridiculously fun, a blast of classic Diplo / MIA mayhem.

Dua Lipa links up with French singer Pierre de Maere on this internationally-toned update on a highlight from Radical Optimism.
Man/Woman/Chainsaw - "Sports Day"
Prog-folk-rock chaos from the young British band Man/Woman/Chainsaw, who make some deeply uncool sounds seem extremely cool.
Kate Bollinger - "What Can I Give You"
Another gem from Sub Pop’s new Margo Guryan compilation Like Someone I Know, which is the gift that keeps on giving.
Cordae and Joey Bada$$ - "Syrup Sandwiches"
Laid-back, old-school vibes abound in this great new collaboration between Cordae and Joey Bada$.
Pretty Girl - "Rewind"
Australia’s Pretty Girl returns with a song that lives up to her “Emotional Dance Music” slogan – a rich, anthemic house track that’s forlorn but thrilling.
Leo Bhanji - "Book 1"
Short but sweet, Leo Bhanji’s new song is a showcase for gorgeous ambient-folk production and beautiful, aching vocals.
