RAC – Back of the Car feat. Nate Henricks
It’s been a year since we last heard from remix god turned, original materialist RAC. The Portland producer, has just unveiled his new track ‘Back Of The Car’. Vocally it’s got a massive American Authors vibe about it. With Nate Henricks, who another blog describes as “a bedroom recording enthusiast”, lending his folksy vocals to what is a anthemic, soaring track, and a huge departure from RAC’s earlier material.
Gent Mason – Around //
Straddling the line between, soulful, ballad driven pop and glitch-hop, London’s Gent Mason is an intriguing newcomer. Latest track ‘Around’ takes Mason’s smooth vocal, and a warm synth melody and juxtaposes the two against glitched out samples and percussion. It’s not often we tag someone ‘One To Watch’ but Gent Mason certainly fits the bill.
