Lost Tapes: Lost Tapes

Valerie
Dream pop never sounded so good than from this Spanish duo. The Lost Tapes is a short yet fun compilation you can play while on the road and when chilling on that quiet evening. This self-titled debut comes with only four tracks but it's enough to make you want to listen to it on repeat. It is a gathering of sweet and absolutely charming set of cuts that should be worth the listen. Lost Tapes is made up of friends Pau Roca and RJ Sinclair. Their collaboration is borne out of their love for music and cinema. Even though they are hundreds of miles apart, the two started sharing simple notes as well as computer recordings. Eventually, they started sharing compositions and created a compilation worthy of any indie pop lover's admiration.

Get to know Venice, CA-based band Leftover Cuties, who has been making waves on the internet with their pop indie tracks with an old school flair. In Past & Future, the band transports us into a sonic jungle overgrown with trumpets, jazzy musings, solid beats, and hand-clapping rhythms.

Samantha Ray: Royalty

Jack
Yes, we’ll never be royals, but we can still play the part. Just ask Samantha Ray. Being ‘royal’ in its conventional sense sounds so trite now that lexicographers need to hold a closed-door meeting to expand the boundaries of considering something as… royal. In case of Samantha, her interpretation (‘riding in cars’, ‘early morning coffee’, and ‘light through trees’) is one good candidate.

F. Virtue: Chinook

Valerie
After having a successful run contributing his talents as producer or part of, Time Crisis; talented emcee, F. Virtue finally takes the time to give his fans a taste of his own little world. Chinook serves as a precursor to the musician's upcoming record and if it's any indication, the album will definitely be worth checking out. The 6-track compilation has been described as "emo" and "dark." Indeed, the EP sees F.Virtue peeling back layers of experience and emotions, exposing raw skin that lets listeners get a feel for what the artist is all about.

Re:set: Resynthformation

Monica
Inspired by the remixes of Becko, Hopes die last bass, and Vox, Resynthformation does not follow the archetypal pattern of dubstep. The album was released under Sostanze Records in Rome, Italy. Re:set has succeeded in mixing styles, making this release a raw and genuine hybrid-style project. It shows a kind of style that is often lacking in electronic music these days.
