[su_dropcap style=”simple”]E[/su_dropcap]very Wednesday on HighClouds, from now until death do us part, we publish the picky playlists of our Brussels’ friend and collaborator Deer Du Bois. He has been demonstrating a real talent in highlighting emerging and talented acts and imposes himself as a real talent-spotter. Every week, his playlist is a sharp and buzzing selection of new discoveries in indie and pop music. And lucky you: we are now your fresh and fun place to weekly seat and savor his delightful “indie.tronic.dream.pop.chill.wave” cocktail. So, do you mind a cup?

“My music-shake brings all the boys to the ice cream yard” Deer Du Bois!

My music-shake brings all the boys to the ice cream yard. (By the way, Kelis confessed this week that she never prepared a milkshake in her life… #SHAME) Let’s get crazy with Half Japanese Half Muscle & their “Loose Fitting Girls”. Get brain-freeze thanks to the Icelandic charm of the gorgeous Kreld on “Way Low” or the beautiful pop-noir by Belgian singer Jasmin Smolders and her “First-Falling Down”.

Don’t crash on the heartbreak interlude by the mysterious new artist imho and his break-up-love-letter track “Waiting For You”, because we shouldn’t give up hope, if we can believe in the “Endless Grace” of Paris hip duo Royaume on their brand new single. You can also discover the hypnotic Lee Triffon and her “Different Sun” over there!

And where else to enjoy our weekly playlist than sunbathing, a Calypo in hand, by “La Piscine”, the big and sunny return of Hypnolove. Lick it, like it, play it! By the way, the band is from Toulouse, like the founder of HighClouds!

If you want to drink a bit more until you get tipsy, you should check him on Facebook and Soundcloud, and follow his regular posts on our site.

Co-written by Henrik Jonzon (renowned Chicago-born Swedish songwriter), this song is inspired by the racist death of Eric Garner in 2014. Although the song starts on a reflective darker note it quite quickly bursts open into a strong, will-full track, reflecting on our society and its inequalities, awakening our power to change things around. The full “Sink Like A Stone” EP will be released on June 3rd and will be Naomi‘s most forceful piece of work to date, using her impressive voice and skill full music to denounce and fight our world’s drift into the wrong direction. This album won’t leave you unmoved, as it reflects both the at times scarring and at times sweet experience Naomi went through while writing these these songs.

“The Sink Like A Stone” EP, which will be released on June 3rd on Cosmos Music.
