FRESHVIBESMONDAY #75

Happy Monday! As always, this week's playlist is rich in gems including the latest from Young Wonder, Gengahr, and Torres who each have records coming out very, very soon. I was recently introduced to "Calling Out" by indie-pop act Monakr from Chicago, and without hesitation added it to the playlist. In addition, Bay area newbies No Vacation & Hazel English caught my attention immediately upon first listen. These are definitely two bands I'm getting excited to watch as they grow. Although Hazel English only has one song exposed on SoundCloud, No Vacation has several including an album titled Amo XO.

Highlight of the playlist definitely goes to the silky vibes delivered by Leyya in "Superego."

Thanks to Ruth Radelet from CHROMATICS for letting me use the image above, if you didn't already know - they have an album coming out as well. Listen to their latest release "In Films" below.

P.S. An EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS to everyone who came out on Friday for the first ever We The Beat x Let Your Ears Decide show at Blind Tiger in Santa Barbara featuring JMSN, Olivver the Kid, and Harvey Leche! Your support means more than anything! xxxo

FRESHVIBESMONDAY #32

23 songs for FVM#32 on the 23rd of June? You got it. Hope you dig this week's selection of remixes, original releases, and there's even a cover in there if you can spot it. It's been a minute since we've heard from Lucy Rose, and this may or may not be the most upbeat tune I've heard from her (FYI I LOVE IT.) She's not the only one who's been hiding away making new music, just take a look at the list and you'll know what I mean. It's a sweet preview of what's to come, and I couldn't be more excited about what Tennis, Mesita, Jessie Ware, and Zola Jesus have all dropped in the past week or so. I could go on, but you have quite a bit of listening to do. Enjoy!
