Our curator scours through hundreds of SoundCloud tracks to find the best new gems by artists that are flying under the radar. Our Brussels-based fellow overwhelms you with a variety of songs that make your head go nuts. This week, Free offers us a playlist that smells like a comeback! Here are a few of his favorites:

Danny L Harle – Blue Angel (Feat. Clairo):

Yes, a good old Danny L Harle song, that what I needed! “Blue Angel” is not a typically heavy bouncy slick dance song. It’s that Charli XCX-ish smooth pop with a very similar (mainstream-ish) voice but what makes this song is this euphoric chimes synth melody. Side note: Danny is working together with the Youtube star Clairo on her forthcoming EP.

Martyn Bootyspoon – The Grid:

In some way this Martyn Bootyspoon crossed my path just when I was making this playlist. I didn’t know him and still don’t know anything about him. I only know he’s part of Fractal Fantasy and his grimy debut EP “Silk Eternity” is probably my favourite of this year so far.

Branko + PEDRO – MPTS:

You may know Branko from his genius 2015 song “Take Off” featuring Princess Nokia, at least that’s how I got to know him. The Enchufada label boss explained earlier this year: “I wanted the first track that I release in 2018 to be a celebration of the Enchufada vision of global club music that we’ve been championing for over a decade. “MPTS” is kind of a Portuguese text message slang for what you would call your crew or your friends, and being surrounded by your crew doing what you love is exactly the vibe we felt in studio while creating this track.”

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

Each week our Brussels-based fellow overwhelms you with a variety of songs that make your head go nuts. Here are a few of his favorites:

RIN – Broke:

This American-Japanese, Brussels-based electronic artist RIN knows how to merge experiment with catchiness and high pitched stringlike tunes. If someone knows she’s performing in Brussels or elsewhere, please let me know!

Baba Stiltz – Can’t Help It:

From Swedish and Stockholm-based artists I always expect to hear indie/electro pop. Sorry for my prejudices to them who are not, including Baba Stiltz. Stiltz could easily chose to be a (boring but) well-paid straighforward house producer, as you can hear in the intro of “Can’t Help It”. Though the building tense gives away he can do a lot more and is going to something great. Cuz “Can’t Help” is an amazing dance pop song with emotional touch added by Stiltz’ soft Erlend Øye-ish voice.

Nick Nicely – The Otherside 2:

Described (in 2012 already) as “the greatest popstar that never was”, Nick Nicely is still around doing his thing and doing it well. “The Otherside 2” is the B-side of Nick’s brand new single “Ghostdream”, the follow-up of “The Otherside” (2004) and just the perfect exotic breeze in this weather.
