Mountain Oasis Festival Sampler 2013

Natalie
Something is happening today. A number of great artists are coming together to give you a taste of some of the most amazing contemporary electronic sounds, for full 3 days. Sounds great, right? Unfortunately since not all of us can appear in Asheville, NC in person, seeing it all live is a problem. Fortunately the good folks over at The Mountain Oasis Electronic Music Summit released a nice 11 track sampler to give us a taste in the comfort of our own homes.

The Eastern Sea: Summer Tour Sampler

Jack
Admit it: you are a sucker for some good ‘ol indie rock. This time around, delivering the goods are last year’s breakout act, The Eastern Sea, whose second offering Plague has wiped out all doubts of their success.

Liza Ellen: Everything’s Okay

Jack
Let Liza Ellen take you on a trip back to the early 2000s. The Dallas-based songstress, who labels her music stylishly as ‘neo soul’, is out to bring the lucrative R&B genre back to the way it used to be — smooth and chill. One spin on her latest EP, Everything’s Okay, and this budding talent is one to be compared to acts like Jill Scott and even Erykah Badu.

Joel Dunn-Wilson: Superman

Jack
Are you craving for some good ole acoustic tunes? You’re in luck! Joel Dunn-Wilson is getting his musical gear into place with his new (and probably, the first) EP, Superman. In this four-track collection, the tunes are all guitar and no filler, just the way we like our iPod fodder.

Brittany Campbell: Black Summer

Jack
Brittany Campbell's "Black Summer" is her second collection of self-produced bangers. The album is a simple yet enjoyable, as it takes us on a whirlwind journey of love songs, break-up diss-downs, and self-empowerment affirmations -- all presented in a funky format.

Wynter Gordon: Doleo

Jack
To paraphrase Ned Stark’s prediction, “Wynter is coming.” Wynter Gordon, that is. After releasing her debut album, the underrated gem With The Music I Die, in 2011, the singer-songwriter is currently busy with her Human Condition EP series, the first of which is last year’s Doleo.

Neon Hitch: Happy Neon

Jack
While everyone is waiting for Beg, Borrow, and Steal, it might be a good option to check out Happy Neon first. Neon Hitch, the self-proclaimed gypsy who’s slowly making waves in the hip-hop world as the new “it” collaborator, shows a soulful side via her new EP. She glides through existentialism in style, thanks to the eclectic harmonies by producer Happy Perez.
