We’ve been supporting Mike Posner since his first release. He’s been off the radar for a bit, but Posner is back after quite some time away and appears to be older and wiser. His genre bending sound continues to captivate hip-hop, rock, country, and indie fans in a way few artists can. I remember when Posner first burst into the scene six years ago making crazy remixes in his dorm room at Duke and featuring tracks with Big Sean. He has been to the top of the world and back and this track showcases a more mature songwriter. While he can still ham it up for Maroon 5 and other pop acts, Posner’s newest acoustic-driven track reminisces on living and growing up after half a decade of fame.

Shemce returns with a new look, and an even vibier sound with his remix of Major Lazer & DJ Snake’s “Lean On”. Known for his tropical sounds, Shemce integrates himself with subtle future house vibes but nonetheless pushes through something unique. The track starts with an indie dance build that highlights MO’s soulful vocals, eventually leading to a dance floor-crushing future house influenced payoff. Although the track incorporates several future house synths, it still maintains the feel good indie dance vibe Shemce has become known for. Grab this one as a free download.
Indie | Bad Wave – Look Out
Posted by JT on February 17, 2015
This track is a little weird. Cluttered with futuristic plucks and sounds ‘Look Out’ is a freshly constructed futuristic indie track with seductive vocals. This is a track made for a long drive. With vocals like they were sung by Thomas Mars (of Phoenix) Bad Wave have something brewing here and its catching on.

Alternative, Indie | BEND – Four
Posted by admin on October 7, 2014
Nothing excites me quite as much as young people with a passion for music.
Enter: BEND, the duo of college students who make indescribable Pop/Indie/Alternative sounds from their respective dorm rooms. Both originally from Los Angeles, vocalist, Sean, relocated to New York while producer, Garrett, stayed close to home at the University of Southern California.
Limited by their time apart during the school year, BEND spends countless hours during the Summer writing, producing, and recording. As they prepare to release their next project, Sean and Garrett unleash, “Four”. The song is co-produced by blackbear and shows the immense all-around talent of the band.
It had been nearly a year since last putting out a song. The artistic growth is palpable, and one can only imagine what is still in the vault, awaiting the public’s ears.
If you’re a fan, check out Garrett’s solo cover of the Baby Bash smash, “Suga Suga”, here.

Anne Of The North. Hearing “Of The North” immediately transports to the frigid northern climbs of Westeros where the dead walk, giants run rampant and woolly mammoths are not just an exhibit in the museum. But coming back to this world (I know it sucks we have to wait until April), The Chainsmokers deliver a feel filled remix that has the vintage stylistic nuances we have come to know from their past indie remixes. So turn this one up and sway, sway, sway…

They keep much of the original feel, notably the vocals, but add a cheery melody and poignant piano to the tune. As previously stated, it is free so grab it below.
