Wolfwolf: Happy Heart Breaks LP

Eighties sounding synths and a hypnotic little persona help complete Wolfwolf's musical enigma. Combining 80s music with laid back R&B and a slight dance beat, Happy Heart Breaks LP is an interesting little compilation that's worth your time. Gathering together 8 tracks, the album doesn't only include catchy tunes but also ooze a subtle sexiness at the same time. Designed to make you want to take yourself to the dancefloor and enjoy the night away; each track is a beautiful cacophony of groovy beats and vocals.

Backbeat Soundsystem: One Step Forward

Backbeat Soundsystem's latest artistic venture, One Step Forward, is more than just music. It's a euphoria of the mind. Hailing from Cornish, St. Austell, this 8-piece band offers traditional reggae music splashed with a steady dose of party sounds. They have only been formed for a short time but have already made their spot on the Cornwall music scene and other festival circuits across the UK.

Canopies: [EP]

The Canopies new EP approaches the music scene like a ravenous tornado. With glowing harmonies and raw talent, the group delivers an eccentric sound that's fresh to the ears. Hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the band is composed of Nolan Treolo, John Marston, Craig Leren, Jake Brahm and Paul Trinko. Since their formation, they have already surprised music lovers with their psychedelic-pop/rock sensibility.

Ian Knox: Trilogy

A prolific producer and so much more, Ian Knox is definitely one busy guy. Before devoting his time to producing, he was actually a rapper. In fact, he managed to release two previous albums prior to just going full time as a producer. Currently, he's focusing on production engineering and has come up with this exclusive compilation of beats that's should serve as the perfect ingredient for remixing. Having the capacity to incorporate a lot of different styles, including jumping from electro pop to dub step with ease; it's obvious you're in for a good and smooth ride as you listen to this mix.

Lunova Labs: [shhht_13]

Inspired by transcendentalism, Lunova Labs pays homage to the forerunners of the movement by naming each of the tracks in this EP after some of the leaders' major works. This short EP resounds in transcendentalist perception. It takes the idea of spirituality and nature and incorporates them into each cut. The result is a sonic landscape the showcases a mix of vocals and nature samples along with dreamy instrument work. Listening to [Shhht_13] is like being transported to another world where eclecticism, spirituality and oneness with nature exists.

Royal Teeth: Act Naturally

After some time spent on perfecting their lush melodies, it looks as if Royal Teeth are ready to become the next big thing. Hailing from New Orleans, the band is composed of Gary Larsen (Vocals/ Guitars), Nora Patterson (Vocals), Joshua Wells (Bass), Josh Hefner (Percussion), Stevie Billeaud (Guitar/Keys) and Andrew Poe (Vocals/Keys/Guitar/ Percussion). Their newly released debut album, Act Naturally, has five hits that will surely fit into everyone's playlist. One thing I like about Royal Teeth's music is their eager attempt to try something new producing tracks that play between dance pop and electronica.

Armen at the Bazaar: Noor

When I first heard Armen at the Bazaar's Drive With Me, the first thing that came to my mind was that it was equal parts weird and awesome. Indeed the album is an eclectic combination of sounds. From pop rock, to indie, to sometimes random bits, the record gives these things a fresh take. Listening to the artist feels as if you're globe trotting and exploring different regions all over the world. Armen at the Bazaar is described as a one-man-band making music from Montreal. He started out young, playing in the Toronto Children's Chorus and fronting for various bands later on. His music is honestly tough to classify although he cites that it's a mix of alternative, indie and pop.

Tha Boogie: Love Tha Boogie Vol.1 (Steal This Sh*t) [Extended Version]

Love Tha Boogie creates their new album with such confidence it seems no more of a shock than a new haircut. Hailing from Rancho Cucamonga, the urban pop trio of Korus, Lejin and NuSchool offers Love Tha Boogie Vol.1 (Steal This Sh*t) Extended Version - a collection of twelve upbeat songs that exude pure undeniable talent. The album comes as a free download over at Bandcamp, with some lovely bonus tracks so be sure to check it out!

Revolution, I Love You: We Choose to Go to the Moon

Philly based duo, Revolution, I Love You (R,ILY) comes out with their debut compilation We Choose to Go to the Moon. Despite being newcomers, they've been making quite the impression with their indie-electronic rock sound; motivating listeners to find out more about them after just one listen. Their 10-track album is filled with beautiful layers of synths, pianos and vocals. It's hard to believe sometimes that there's just two of them in the group instead of a full-on 3 or 5 piece. We Choose to Go to the Moon is essentially a hodge podge of pop, electronica, pop music and dance rolled into one lovely package.
