I haven't heard of Slime until this very moment, but it's times like these that I'm thankful for SoundCloud's infinite play feature.
Slime's single "Hot Dog" is a silky smooth synth-centric track, fully equipped with obscure effects and harmonies. T...

Man oh man, is this a smooth track or what? Montreal-based Seoul have done well to win me over.

Grooooooovy.
Aeroplane once again manages to pump out a track that lives up to expectations, this time featuring Benjamin Diamond on the vocals. From the very get-go it was clear this'd be a fantastic, 80s-infused synth track, and I have a feeling t...

Less than a month ago Geographer joined us onstage at the Roll Call Records / Indie Shuffle SXSW showcase. He killed it.

Astronauts, etc.'s new single "I Know" is as ethereal as it is sweetly spacious.
