This week our Deer Du Bois playlist is curated by 4 artists from around the globe, each of them making music from the heart, telling their story, staying true to their ideas and talents, while creating a unique sound!

Meet this weeks picks by SAKIMA (UK) x LIYV (US) x THE LAND BELOW (SE) x TAFF (GR)

From Sakima‘s picks, watch out for SATICA and her “high” energy slow-pop on “Honey Whiskey”. She will also release a track in collab with our dearest Sakima very soon. On “3 Times” by Marged, a soulful scream is unleashed and transformed into a powerful life lesson. Follow SAKIMA on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Portland’s pastel pop singer Liyv got inspired by one of the most mysterious, yet progressive artists of the moment: Sevdaliza on her hypnotic masterpiece “Hero”. Her next pick, a collaboration between Starrah & Diplo on “Zoo”, perfectly reflects the deformed voices from the former song and also hints Liyv‘s drive on her latest album. Follow LIYV on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Erik from The Land Below, known for his misty chill tracks, makes us discover the warm electronic soul of Solregn on “ONE”. And with Desta French, we melt the ice thanks to her rhythmic and uplifting pop on “Needing You”. Follow THE LAND BELOW on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Greek newcomer TAFF, a film editor and director captures us again on his newest indie-tronic track “A Millions Waves”. He revealed having Empara Mi‘s newest song “Alibi” on repeat, a majestic track with a grand orchestration behind it. Follow TAFF on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Every weekend, Jince scours through hundreds of SoundCloud tracks to find the best new gems by artists that are flying under the radar.

Soleima – “Breathe” ft. Hoodboi

Not gonna lie, I really wouldn’t mind daydreaming with Soleima. Her collaboration with Hoodboi, “Breathe,” is a laid back track that’s casually punctuated by these amazingly distinct dinosaur-like horns – (lol did i just say “dinosaur-like?”). It’s upbeat without being too douchey, ya dig?

Superior – “I Got You” ft. Rocdwell

As a resident of NYC, I can certify that the 90’s rap vibes oozing out of this Superior and Rocdwell‘strack will stain your timberlands with a whiff of subway piss and other authentic golden-era memorabilia.

YOUNG CLANCY – “ALWAYS HAVE”

You’ll always have the what? The drugs? oh…well thank god someone does. This track is an exercise in minimal synth flips and drum kicks – it’ll help your break that habit…or perpetuate it. Either way, you can rely on YOUNG CLANCY holding you down.

THEY. – “Dante’s Creek”

You couldn’t imagine how excited I was this past Friday when THEY. finally released their debut album, “Nü Religion: Hyena.” “Dante’s Creek” is a downtempo ballad from the album that’ll have you subconsciously reaching for the blunt and a lighter – you’ll be on cloud nine within 60 seconds of listening to this one.

PS: Drew from THEY. accepted my fb friend request – WE EATIN GOOD FAMMMM

Ben Zaidi – “Irene”

This last one’s a slow burn type-of track. It’s a heartfelt tale from Ben Zaidi, an amazing new artist who’s been consistently putting out great tracks for the past year. It’s a sad one, so make sure you’ve got some tissues ready.
