The vocals on this track are the vocals of Gladys Knight from the 1972 song "Neither One of Us". "Koze has long said that he aims for the combination of euphoria and melancholy in all his music, and here he nails it. Despite Knight’s sorrowful tone, the rolling disco groove has the giddy uplift of vintage Daft Punk. Heard loud, “Pick Up” reveals itself to be a low-key anthem, a perfect picture of bittersweet simplicity." pitchfork.com Check out this extended disco version of 'Pick Up' on Beatport: bit.ly

Birthday request! "Hey Morgan! If it's not too late would love to dedicate some Lizzo to my wife Molly on her birthday. We've got her lounging with a glass of bubbly rosé and our seven year old giving back rubs. Hope she's feeling good as hell! Thanks! -Duncan and Wesley "

“‘World On Fire’ was written in late 2019 and at its core it’s about duality and how a phrase like “set the world on fire,” which sounds so destructive, is also about doing something remarkable. We wanted it to be a phrase that is deliberately open to interpretation in this song. Over time we have all become desensitized to bad news and horrific events through television and social media. In much the same way as people slow down to look at a car crash, it feels like we’ve all become more and more obsessed with watching the world on fire.” Nicholas Wood and Kat Day had this to day about their new track. This is their first new single since 2019’s EP “Submersion”.

Ride performed "All I Want" live in the KEXP studio in 2017. Watch the full session here: youtu.be -- rideox4.bandcamp.com

New music from Mexican-Dominican Latin soul songstress Ambar Lucid! The already entrancing track takes viewers on a journey to a mystic forest where magic and music intertwine. The video highlights the constraints of one’s mind and the act of both thinking and getting out of the ‘box’ society and ourselves, individually, often are placed. Drawing inspiration from Ambar’s own passion for astrology and tarot card reading, the EP is riddled with Hispanic staples and effortlessly slips between Spanish and English when it suits her mood or composition – effectively drawing an image of her culture and upbringing. bit.ly youtu.be
