Josh Garrels

My timing has been perfect... Josh Garrels just released his new album for free... and I'm listening to it as we speak. His 2008 album Jacaranda is PHENOMENAL. Great songwriting, incredible voice, beautiful arrangments... Definately a must download and listen!

DJ Screw

I have both of these songs from my most recent download binge... have no idea where they're from but am really enjoying right now. With a tiny amount of research, it looks like DJ screw was holding it down in Houston back in the late 90's chopping and screwing thousands of songs and including them in hundreds of mixtapes creating a huge underground following in the process.... rest in peace dj screw.

Classixx

Described as a laidback mix of night time love tunes... ummmmm.... yes please!

Black Hills by Gardens & Villa from Secretly Jag on Vimeo.

What!!!? Where the heck did this band come from? This is like a gift of sonic heaven right now. Just downloaded their free ep from bandcamp and already fell in love both tracks at first listen. Can't wait to see these guys take off... Bands that come to mind: Local Natives, Foster & the People, a young Kings of Leon, Low vs Diamond and a whole lot more... enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SBTRKT - Wildfire (ft. Little Dragon)

Wow... this track impacts immediately. Althought I'm not that familiar with his work, for some reason I have failed to connect with SBTRKT until i stumbled across this track with Little Dragon. Love at first listen...

a couple more for good measure...

Getting ready for The Weeknd

Really getting into the smooth R&B with an electronic nightbus approach... The whole EP is good... really good... But it'll take a few go arounds for the tracks to resonate. Immediate favorites are "House of Balloons" & "The Morning"... next up are "Coming Down" and "The Party & the After Party" and "Loft Music"... shit the whole thing is good... what are you waiting for!?!

Update: two more mixtapes to be turned out this year with some sort of drake collab +++ this guy is one to keep your ears on... enjoy!
