NOTHING LEFT FOR ME TO BREATHE.

Picking up where CHVRCHES left off, Prides are the latest new band to carry the torch forward for Glasgow. Much like their previous project Midnight Lion, Prides have an out-of-the-box arena-ready quality to them, and nowhere is that more evident than on debut single "Out of the Blue". Packing a swift uppercut of anthemic, off-kilter bagpipes (okay fine they're synths) and empire-toppling big beat drums, the song enthralls like CHVRCHES crashing into Little Daylight on an intergalactic space high and never ever coming down. Cop the exclusive download below.

I'M FEELING FAR AWAY.

Up and coming California foursome The Colourist have been on cruise control with the radio-reaching immensity of debut single "Little Games". Enter St. Lucia, who's been on a winning streak with gravity-defying remixes for Passion Pit, Foster The People, and Morning Parade thus far. This time around, St. L drowns the hook in shimmering synths and a watery backbeat, flipping the alt-radio anthem into a cool tropical breeze. It's the perfect vessel to carry you from spring into summer, sail away below.

CAN YOU HEAR ALL THE ANGELS.

Our infatuation with Mr. Little Jeans's latest offering is quickly snowballing towards critical mass, and today Strange Talk arrive to accelerate the process even further with a brand new remix of the track. The Aussie synth lords take the dreamcatcher innocence of "Oh Sailor" and ship it forward in time, resulting in a crystalline interpretation that channels the windless heat of RAC's monumental Foster the People remix. It's a befitting makeover for the Norwegian pop princess that won't disappoint, grab the exclusive download below.

BABY COME LAY YOUR HEAD DOWN.

We're always on the lookout for new hometown heroes and so far 2013 has been a good year for our fair city. Today it's time to get familiar with ASTR, a new futuristic pop outfit that are set to make a name for themselves around town in the months to come. Debut single "Operate" pops into the tape deck and immediately whirrs to life, channeling the nostalgic drama of Miami Vice and classic horror film scores through gorgeous R&B-tinged vocals and temperamental hip-hop snares. It's every bit as cinematic as you'd expect, a smooth operator in the cool of night that makes for a promising debut from the NYC duo.
