01. Turnover - Sunshine Type

08. Tom Misch - South Of The River

This new single by South-Londoner Tom Misch is a banger. Showcasing Misch's signature upbeat, neo-soul vibe paired with melodic vocals, i love how his funky guitar lick always strike the right feels, he managed to find the formula of good dance/electronic track while blend the component of jazz and hip-hop on it.

11. Collapse - Cold November

Bandung based Alternative band, Collapse, released their latest single, "Cold November", couple months ago. "Cold November" is an atmospheric single which has a post hardcore-ish sounds that we definitely dig.
