We’re soaking up the sounds of power duo Vargas & Lagola this week. With a fresh single just out, it’s refreshing to see the pair take a new direction with their style of production. Taking a move away from traditional dance music and venturing into the acoustic scene, they deliver “Selfish.”
Without losing any of their previous appeal, Vargas & Lagola have created the searching “Selfish” with 80s synths, nostalgic (almost Fleetwood Mac-esque) guitar riffs and a singalong chorus. Just one listen is all it takes to get hooked on this one.
Listen here.

New York-based indie pop collective Big Spirit has a little treat up their sleeve for us. The music video for their track “Spanish Avenue” – off their Get This album – is ready for your curious eyes, and we have the exclusive premiere! The steady beat – provided by fast percussion – sets the tone, the video dark and brooding. The song itself is reminiscent of an 80’s dream, the visual something that fits in quite well, displaying singer Sed Pepper’s performance tactics… and, of course, his dance skills. The video seems intimate, focusing on Pepper as he sings directly into your soul.
Keep up with Big Spirit here.

London-based experimental artist Lua Sonique is bringing the 80’s vibes with new track “Leave”. With twinkling synth sounds layered in to an indie rock facade, we’re catching bites of energy that would be easily placed in a John Hughes film. So don’t “Leave” quite yet, just play the track and get dancing with your high tops and a fun, carefree fall feeling!

Swedish art pop songwriter and producer Be The Bear – otherwise known as Christine Wehage – released her new single with GOLDHOUSE on Friday titled “Ruler”. Having hit the scene with an incredible array of remixes, it’s fun to see what she and GOLDHOUSE have accomplished together. With a luscious, earthy backdrop, the vocals take a slight island vibe that entices you to move to the beat. It’s definitely an elevated dance mix that will have you swaying in the autumn air!

Get yourself in pinup mode for No Small Children‘s new video for “Radio”. The rock trio – comprised of Lisa P., Nicola B., and Joanie Pimentel – formed in 2012, and brings the fun they’ve cultivated from years of being school teachers to their performance. The video itself is silly and fun, with the girls sporting matching bright outfits that could take you back in time, or perhaps just remind you of a fun television broadcast program. The music itself, though? It rocks. HARD. So take a gander at the new visual, and check these ladies out. We’re big, big fans!

We’ve been sifting through new music, trying to find a smooth, mid-tempo jam that puts us in a good mood. So lucky us, to have stumbled upon Balcony‘s new track “You’re So Cool”. Featuring the additional vocal stylings of Liv Dawson in addition to the talent of the band (comprised of Jamie Ward, Jack Bennett, David Royce, and Johno Donnachie), the track is invigorating in a puppy love kind of way, the instrumentals produced to perfection, winding this track somewhere between a slow jam and a dance track. Regardless, we’re looking forward to more from Balcony, and perhaps another collaboration in the future if we’re lucky enough?

Los Angeles-based folk singer/songwriter Michelle Lewis might be revving up to release her full length All That’s Left on October 19th, but while we’re waiting around for that big day (2 more weeks!), we’ve got the exclusive premiere of her new track “How” to share with you. A slowly layering song, gorgeous piano operates as the spine to it all, branches of sound coming off of it and blending in with Lewis’ celestial sounding, twang-tinged vocals. A delicate reaction to a very introspective question, Michelle Lewis takes us on a journey with “How” that will leave us questioning our own paths in life as well.
Explains Lewis of the track, “‘How‘ ended up being one of my favorite tracks on the album. Vocally, it’s a different kind of song than I’ve done before. I had written it on electric guitar, but knew I wanted piano to be the lead instrument. I’m really happy about how it all came together in the recording.”
