ODESZA’s Foreign Family Collective Shares New Compilation and Innovative NFT Drop
Foreign Family Collective is providing a platform for their artists to release music without expectations. Amid a stressful past year for musicians due to the pandemic, ODESZA’s flagship label has brought forth an innovative album and NFT compilation, Rare.wavs Vol. 1. The record is jam-packed, consisting of 15 tracks from a number of the brand’s high-profile names such as Kasbo, MEMBA, Robotaki, and many more. From the spritely synths and quick-cutting drums of Jai Wolf‘s “Hikikomori” to Phantoms‘ cascading melodic slow jam “Do It Again,” the compilation reinforces this roster’s versatility in a multitude of genres and sound palettes.

Float Away On Medasin’s Flip of the Toto Classic “Africa”
In his latest high-profile remix, this time of Toto‘s iconic “Africa,” Medasin has once again given us a hearty dose of his groovy chillwave flavor. Released independently today, Medasin surprisingly strips away most of the track’s original arrangement, including Toto’s vocals, to make use of only its melody. Lightly blossoming synths float gently above the song’s recognizable chords, turning “Africa” into a magically understated instrumental. From the exotic synths in its introduction to the faux EDM drop built by drum machines and crisp claps, Medasin’s “Africa” rework takes us somewhere new and unexpected, turning a classic sing-along into a dance floor get-down. The new “Africa” remix was previously tea...

This New Single from Mindchatter, Rising Star on ZHU’s Label, Is Worth Your Time
Mindchatter is one of the most promising young electronic acts you’ve never heard of. Today’s release of his new single, “Language,” is your chance to hop on the bandwagon. Featuring the New York City-based artist’s own vocals over an upbeat instrumental, “Language” is the second single off his forthcoming album, which is currently untitled and has no definitive release date. It shows a sophisticated artistic direction for Mindchatter, with wonderfully dense synths, understated piano chords and arpeggios, and vocals that could induce ASMR. It’s creative like Medasin and groovy like Darius, but with an updated, youthful energy. After his initial 2019 releases received critical acclaim and top playlist spots, Mindchatter wa...
