4) What So Not – Gemini ft. George Maple
Nobody was happy to hear that Flume would be leaving Australian outfit What So Not, but Emoh Instead appears to be dealing with his absence well. His latest release, “Gemini,” makes for memorable midtempo, and vocals by George Maple tie all the elements together.
In typical Flume/What So Not fashion, this song falls somewhat outside the confines of popular EDM genres while still retaining enough mass appeal to sneak into your Pandora stream.
5) Jack Beats – One Love
British duo Jack Beats hit the nail on the head with this contemplative future house track. The rubbery organ synth and brooding vocals perfectly compliment the dark chord progression, which builds to a frenetic peak. While the OWSLA art in the background image may have ruffled a few feathers, the song itself will undoubtedly become a staple over the next several months as festival season goes full swing.
