Another chilled tune that is prime for studying. Ambient drum and bass producer, Calibre, has got his hands on Garden by British electronic producer Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. His rework is relaxing, minimal and perfect for studying to. Give it a go. C.

Alternative British electronic music band Metronomy have a distinctive sound that is present throughout most of their songs. Just listen for cutting bass and heavy synth sounds. Though they may not be everyone's cup of tea, The Look is without a doubt a great song and invokes good vibes and memories of summer for me. Enjoy. C.

Bit of a departure from my usual, but I really do like the work of British 4-piece Francesqa. Distinctive guitar rhythms weave their way through the thick rock sound which is characteristic of their work. Unfortunately now disbanded and reformed in a new outfit MMX their older stuff is now available. Have a listen to "Before I Break Your Heart". C.

On a bit of a Jackin' House binge lately. What's not to like about this genre?! Punchy, in your face and with attitude, Inside by DevelopMENT certainly epitomises everything I love about it. C.

[toughmint]

Deep, rich and understated. Perfect for studying at this time of year! Tom Middleton's rework of the Russian DJ Paronator's "No Gravity" is something special. C.

[toughmint]

East of Ely are going from track to track and getting better and better. This catchy tune with great vocals and a few fantastic little guitar solos is a great tune to finish the week off with. R.

Minty Mondays: Sango isn't human when it comes to making music, give this a listen and have those feels, this doesn't disappoint.

Minty Mondays: Show my man Tvne some love. Based out of Cleveland Ohio and showcasing midwest talent this dude is on the rise. Noticed by Soulection and recognized by Mr.Carmack this song will resonate in your head for days.

Ben Khan's new track Savage is a mix of magnificent riffs and dark soul. This artist goes from strength to strength and looking forward to his first EP. Is there nothing he Khan't do? ....sorry. R.

[toughmint]

Two Australian Juggernauts of music, the electronic producer Flume and acoustic genius Chet Faker combine for a phenomenal EP. This is my personal favourite. Enjoy. R.

[toughmint]

Chilled Indie at its finest with the breakout single by COVEY. Hoping for more from them. R.

[toughmint]

A song that makes you feel good about being a man. You can go ahead and tell everybody I'm the man. A great rhythm, not the most complex or emotional lyrics but a great song nevertheless. Enjoyable and pumps up your confidence, that is if you are truly a man. R.
