Minutes To Midnight
Long time no post? We’re coming back, and a bringing with us a few things you may have missed, including this vvavy mixtape from Reddie Edmayne (the new moniker of DJ John of Whaps)
STAR TROPICS | SUNDOWN
Our weekly residency at the Paddock in Toronto comes to an end tonight, and we’ll be switching it up to a monthly Sunday night program starting in August. That said, come out and party with us one last Thursday, tonight!
9:30PM NO COVER.
Divine Paiste - Boreal
Divine Paiste throws down some serious dance-driven pop on 'Boreal', the second single from their LP Crystal Waves On A Floating Lake.
With hints of electronica, piano, and raw emotion, these guys are certainly one to watch. Check them out below:
Jojee - I Don’t Give A
The first single from the mysterious & beautiful Jojee is a fantastic piece of future soul, sexy and slow burning. Huge kudos to the sublime production from Mickey Valen that immaculately suits Jojee's sweet & clean vocals. Check her out via the links below and grab a free download of the track while it lasts via her Soundcloud:
Michael Herrera - Silhouette
Another great instrumental track came through the wire, this time via Michigan's Michael Herrera. It's a funky future piece with some great 8-bit sounds, movement, and smooth production throughout. Check him out and a grab a free download via his Soundcloud (while it lasts).
AR Ferdinand - Let Go
AR Ferdinand is back with a great new single, absolutely made for summer nights. The track is a vibing instrumental jam with a great guitar line & loop, and just the right amount of chill to keep it cool. Check him out below:
Dual Citizen - Say It Anyway
Despite being a few months old. we just got turned on this awesome cut by Dual Citizen out of Austin, Texas. The sound of gulls and phat disco synth make this track irresistible, and worthy of many summer dance parties to come. Check him out below, and also grab a free download of the track from his Soundcloud.
GOOD TO KNOW: COIN
Back in 2013 we stumbled onto Malibu, a gorgeous Californian ode by Tennessee 4-piece COIN, and fell in love: Their penchant for upbeat optimistic pop, inflected with synth and whirling choruses made it easy. 2 years, 3 EPs, and close to 100 tour dates later, the boys are finally set to release their self-titled debut record on June 9th. We had a chance to talk to them during the Toronto stop of their national tour (supporting Passion Pit) for our latest edition of GOOD TO KNOW...
T. Ganley - Ignite With You
This brilliant piece of modern electro R&B came through our inbox today from the hands of newcomer T. Ganley. The track has some very slick production from Sam Wills, and Tom has created a great fast-slow dynamic on the verse & chorus that really turns this into a jam. Check out his Soundcloud, and grab a free download of the track (while it lasts).
Sun Cut Flat - Sexy Feel
Unsigned DIY band Sun Cut Flat out of Brooklyn have a chill & funky sound that you need to hear, especially on this appropriately titled track! Really enjoying how they walk the line of being funky, soulful and a little psychedelic all at once. Is that some G-Funk deep in there too? Damn! You can grab their equally funky & amazing album Copy Machine Dream via Bandcamp on a PWYC tip.
J∆HS - Cannonball
Back with some brand new music from J∆HS! Really enjoy how this one builds up. Feels so personal at the beginning and evolves into quite an electronic symphony by the end. Check him out below:
STAR TROPICS | Thursdays
The very first STAR TROPICS | Thursdays launches tonight at The Paddock in Toronto! We've been planning a night like this for quite some time, where we can bring you the best in synth, R&B, chillwave, and tropical pop-filled tracks & remixes, like you hear all the time on our Whapsmusic channel & feed. DJ John of Whaps will be kicking it off at 9:30PM, and will slowly add a collection of friends & guest DJs into the mix as the summer progresses. If you’ve never been The Paddock -- it is a great space in a killer location, fresh with a with a dope new sound system, a rotating hand-picked selection of brews on tap, and a completely chill & unpretentious environment. No cover ever. Your money should be spent at the bar ;)
PREMIERE: Dawn Geometry - Anchor
We're super proud to present the world premiere of 'Anchor', from Paris-based artist Dawn Geometry!
A bit of a departure from our usual sounds, 'Anchor' finds DG in full operatic scope: clocking in at over 10 minutes of dark ambient synth in 3 movements, and echoing shades of Moroder, Muse, Vangelis & more.
Certainly recommend spending a bit of time combing through his back catalog if you are into retro-sounding synth stuff (I know I am a sucker for it). Let us know what you think!
Moon Regiment - Monday (feat. Dominique)
Loving this new music from Sweden’s Moon Regiment, featuring the awesome Dominique on vocals. Moon Regiment's production is pretty unique, dark and spacey, matched perfectly with the airy sound Dominique has channeled on her performance here. Check them out, and grab a free download of the track while it lasts.
The Landing - Then Comes The Wonder
Discovered this amazing space-pop band, The Landing, yesterday and have not stopped listening to them. Literally! Their new single 'Then Comes The Wonder' is a brilliant piece of mod-infected pop, complete with whirling synths and harmony-filled vocals. These guys are an absolute do not miss. Check them out, and be sure to grab a free download of the track (and their INCREDIBLE "We Are" EP) while you still can.
Glacier Pacific - Never Let Me Go
Really digging this new track from Leeds band Glacier Pacific. Always been a big fan of soaring indie rock from the UK, and am always on the hunt for contemporaries of the likes of The 1975 and their ilk, so this was a really nice find. Would really love to see what a band like GP could do with some amazing production, because the writing is fantastic, the tunes sound great -- these guys could be destined for some big things.
Had this new track from Irish electro-poppers R-Music roll in last week and have been meaning to share it with you all. They have a really interesting sound -- last week was good for artists like that. Always enjoy hearing some genre bending sounds, and even more so when they have entirely perfect titles like ‘Bubble Gum Geisha’ here. I feel like this couldn’t be much more appropriately titled, right? Let us know what you think!
