SHREM'S FUTURE ANTHEMS: "CONTROLLER" - Channel Tres

GODMODE - the always reliable and innovative independent label which brought us Shamir, Yaeji and Aaron Childs, is introducing us to another fresh musical talent. Channel Tres is a Los Angeles artist whose debut single "Controller" is a slice of off-kilter Detroit House with an urban twist, produced by one of Godmode's founders - Nick Sylvester and arranged with a geeky array of instruments and gadgets, "Controller" is making a loud statement on the underground club scene. An instant off-beat anthem.

SHREM'S DOUBLE TROUBLE: "At Least the Sky Is Blue (Johnny Jewel's Moody Midnight Remix)" [feat. Ariel Pink] /// "Clown (Glass Candy Remix)" - SSION

Cody Critcheloe's incomparable multi-media POP art project, the extravagant SSION is almost ready to drop his 5th studio album "O" featuring many exhilarating guest appearances such as MNDR, Sky Ferreira and our unrivalled muse Róisín Murphy among others! "At Least the Sky Is Blue" a collaboration with another American enfant terrible of music - Ariel Pink, is the latest single taken from "O" and it's just been remixed by the awe-inspiring Johnny Jewel - the man behind Chromatics, Glass Candy and the most vibrant of all record labels - Italians Do It Better! This remix treatment is even more special considering it's been 10 years since the release of SSION's anthemic "Clown" which was then accompanied by one of only 2 Glass Candy remixes ever made (the 2nd being for Appaloosa's "Intimate").

You can pre-order "O" now on Bandcamp!





And here are both of the tracks in their original versions:

SHREM'S INSTITUTE OF LOST CLASSICS: "WAYAWAYA" - Zoom

I have recently stumbled upon the "Gumba Fire: Bubblegum Soul & Synth Boogie In 1980s South Africa" compilation which was released last month by Soundway Records. Among all the old-skool gems I found Zoom's uplifting "Wayawaya" which dates back to 1987. An instant favourite, pure joy!
