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

In this week’s playlist/mixtape/drakealbum has a definitive upbeat vibe to it that’ll help you git up and git out there. Before we get into the playlist, Jince will introduce you to five dope, fresh and breaking artists.

LuvAbstract – Body Right

This track feels like biking down an empty road at 3am in the middle of the summer feels like. I only found LuvAbstract recently, but man am I in love with this hazy electro-synth snow globe of sound. They’ve been releasing a steady stream of tracks that seem to be building up to something—I have no idea what it is, but I’m itching for more.

Ariana and the Rose – How Does That Make You Feel

From the enchanting tempo to the robotic vocal distortion, “How Does That Make You Feel” makes you feel really fucking great. This one’s actually the intro track to Ariana and the Rose‘s new EP, “Retrograde“, which has a few other great tracks – all of which you ought to hear. You’ll definitely want to check out some of her other tracks too – her electro-pop experiments are fiiiiiiire.

LVR – GIVING UP

The inner music hipster in me comes out to play anytime I find a fresh artist that has a low follower count on soundcloud. No, it’s not because LVR isn’t good, it’s just that a huge number of people have yet to be #blessed with the sounds of this singer from the UK.  “Giving Up” is slow-paced track that pulls you along gently, but floods you in a forest of 80’s power-ballad influence. He’s only got a couple tracks to his (user)name but I’m def gonna keep an eye on this one.

Jack Vallier – Rebekah

“Rebekah” has been out for a month now, but you still need to listen to it. It’s one of those tracks that you hear in the background then you’re like “oh shit this is kinda dope” and then you shazam the track and then listen to it on repeat. Jack Vallier seems to have come out of nowhere a month ago with this song and this song only. Until i get some more tracks from Jack, I’ll have to savor the lush guitar, bellowing vocals and spacey samples on “Rebekah.”

James Droll – Off Beat

James Droll seems to float on this catchy, serene, airy track. This song came out a few weeks ago (Matias’ awesome premiere does the track more justice) but man, I haven’t been able to get it out of my head. Hopefully writing about it can help me move on, #singletear. In any case, let the sultry jazz vibes overcome you while James whispers sweet nothings into your ears.

Another week of fresh tracks by breaking artists around the world — brought to you by JINCE. Check the full playlist below!

“The Other” was produced by Jonah Christian and is a subtle and smart mix of soul and jazzy vibes combined with electronic music.

Going with this release, the artist shared the following statement:

[su_quote]Lately, when I sit down to write a song, I’m overwhelmed by the news reports from around the world and I’m looking for a way to make sense of some small part of it. I wrote “The Other” after reading about the killing of a blogger in Bangladesh. He was the same age as me, and he was killed because he wrote about secular, democratic ideas and the dangers of religious hatred. I was disheartened and outraged to read about this and a spate of similar attacks. I thought about how much him and I might have had in common, and how there is so much to unite us if we can look past the conventional divisions of nations, politics, race and religion. At the core of this song is a dilemma we’re all facing as the globe shrinks – either choose to expand the borders of empathy or choose to draw smaller and smaller circles of trust. [/su_quote]

SAÍGO also added a few words about his current inspirations:

[su_quote]Right now I’m inspired by artists like Anderson .Paak and Kendrick Lamar, who are cutting through the noise with originality, fearlessness, and undeniable talents. I’ve also been admiring the songwriting and sonic landscapes on recent tracks by Nao, Mura Masa, and AlunaGeorge. [/su_quote]

BONUS: Re-discover SAÍGO‘s “So Natural”

[su_spacer]
[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/257745141″ params=”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]

“So Natural”, co-produced alongside Jonah Christian, is the perfect example of what we are witnessing these latest years: all the genres are mixing creating many exciting sub-genres. Taking root in jazz, SAÍGO creates his own way into music, perfecting his unique way of perceiving different sounds.

About “So Natural”, he told us over email:

[su_quote]

I wrote “So Natural” about the competition of natural instincts. I imagine the song a tug of war of internal emotions, eventually evolving into rapid kinetic action, breaking through the gridlock”. The song itself is about knee-jerk, involuntary reactions that you end up regretting. It’s about our self-defense mechanisms – their dark histories, their deep foundations, and then trying to overcome them. It started with just a bass line and a melody, and then became kind of a three-part mini-series that follows a sequence of regret, reconciliation, and deconstruction.

We are truly excited about the release of his EP and you can follow him here on Facebook, Twitter and Soundcloud to be aware of all of his news.
