Earlier this year NYC-based artist Quelle Rox shared her cut 'Tired', which was jazzy slice of aquatic soul.

We're hoping that Quelle Rox continues in this pop direction, as it'll be exiting to see where she takes her artistry and sound in the near future. Stream 'Cosmic Gloom' below.
Whilst originally a duo with Quincy Ledbetter, singer Mia Wilson now carries The Bright Smoke project as a solo artist as she releases a new cut entitled 'The Lion And'.
Bristol producer GotSome comes together with Hip-Hop legend Roxanne Shante for the dance floor rocker 'Plastic On Acid'. Incorporating the sound of Chicago acid house and club, Shante's vocals on top of the rumbling production sound absolutely golden. One can't help but get an air of nostalgia of the days of Hip-House with this one, but the tune is definitely a modern day summer scorcher.

NYC-raised, Barcelona-based DJ and producer Ralph Session has released his latest EP 'After Hours' via Half Assed Records.
