Artist: Winnie and the Rockettes
Track: All Over Ya Face
Location: London, UK
This tune is just straight up funky, with a big fat bass, sexy vocals, and a guitar/keys combo that alternates between metal and funk. It is what you would expect from a band that lists both Prince and Motörhead as influences. I love it.

Artist: Kaption
Track: Wonder
Location: Sydney, Australia
On “Wonder”, Kaption creates a gorgeous and complex sound. This is a step above the typical looped sample and hip-hop beat. I don’t know if Kaption is a fan, but this reminded me a bit of Amon Tobin.

Artist: Lapp
Track: Ride
Location: London, UK
With only sparse accompaniment, Lapp’s “Ride” features stark piano chords and a striking vocal. This is a sad and beautiful song, and I expect it is one I will return to frequently.

Artist: Fearious Black
Track: Trust Me (MÒZÂMBÎQÚE Remix)
Location: Hawaii
Fearious Black weaves a layered and hypnotic sound on “Trust Me”. I got lost between the fat beats, low bass rumble, and breathy vocals. Great stuff.

This band’s sound is as quirky and creative as their name. Also, I really like the dude’s voice. Cool Song.
