A new name for you today! These guys are called Benin City and hail from the English capital. We've got their new track "Faithless" and we're really loving this one! The vocals are instantly engaging and are backed up by an energetic ensemble of sound. The bassline and stabs a very catchy combo! It's going to be released June 10th and will feature on their debut album "Fires In The Park" which is set for release via Audio Doughnuts on 1st July. Remixes will come from Zed Bias, Slugabed and more to be announced soon. We can't wait to see what else these guys have lined up for us!

Einmusik-Multiple Life EP
Some fresh sounds of summer brought to us this week by Samuel Kindermann, the man more commonly known as Einmusik. Based out of Berlin, the man's yet another link in the chain staking Berlin's claim as one of the most dominant forces in electronic music today. Producing those Einmusik sounds for a decade now, his style varies from track to track and this is evident in his latest EP Multiple Life. This variation has nothing short of a positive effect and it shows the strength and depth of his work.
The EP open's up with a cracking tune called 'Do You'. It's one that begins slowly with the keyboard playing over the vocals before breaking into a powerful set of piano chords that are the dominant force behind this track. Ever so slightly the rhythm builds and builds throughout this golden gem and the breakdown reveals the heavy bassline and the skippy hi-hats. This precedes the return of those addictive piano chords before they all combine once more to give us a slice of that summer sound.
Following the heights of the opener was going to be a challenge in my books but the German does it quite well with the second track. The title track Multiple Life is full of emotion and expresses this with a futuristic edge. A great track.
Kindermann finishes off the EP with Time Rolls On, a nice deep groover with the pace determined nicely by steady slow claps. It's a relaxing end to a quality three track release.
Released on his own imprint, Einmusika Recordings the EP fits in perfectly with what he'd hoped the label would bring to music lovers. Melodies and emotions coming together nicely to produce that Einmusika sound for the electronic scene.

Imagine Dragons - Radioactive (dBerrie Remix)
dBerrie has been a busy man these last few weeks! The American who has already staked his claim for the finest Prog House meets Chart remixer out there (check his Gotye, Chris Brown and David Guetta remixes!) impresses once more with a stomping rework of Imagine Dragons "Radioactive". This one's a peak time banger! Make sure to grab the free download!
He's also lined up a fine release on Fedde Le Grand's Flamingo Records in the form of "Malfunction". Have a listen below! It's set for release May 27th.

Fehrplay - Phantom [Pryda Friends]
The Pryda Friends crew are all about the suspense it would seem! Having been previewed on Mr. Fehr's SoundCloud well over a year ago, the amazing 'Phantom' has finally been released through Pryda Friends.
'Phantom' seems to be a bit of a return to his older piano driven stuff like 'Ayita' and 'Meow' but also draws on some of his more recent influences. It's also not dissimilar to Prydz's 'Pjanoo' but has that undeniable Fehrplay touch. It's an excellent track and is not one you should miss.

16 Bit Lolitas - Chant A Tune (Jeremy Olander Remix)
This man is on a roll! This is the third release for Olander this month alone and also the third completely different track as well. He's got a serious knack for diversity and really knows how to showcase his talent.
The remix is more of a driver rather than a 'put your hands in the air' tune but by no means is it any worse than his other tracks. It's a very nice piece of work and deserves its place with the almighty Armada brand.

Fitz & The Tantrums - Out Of My League (Peking Duk Remix)
Loving this new remix from Aussies Peking Duk. It's seriously fresh! They've reworked Fitz & The Tantrums track "Out Of My League". Stylistically a blend of electronic genres, it stood out for me first listen. Some really nice synth sounds in there and a hugely addictive underlying arp the runs through the breakdown. The vocals from the original are quality and when added to mix give us right little banger! Keep an eye out for these boys, I think it's only a matter of time before before they start making big waves here and in the UK.
