KSHMR made his debut on Audius this past week, dropping four addictive tracks including his latest release, “Anywhere’s Home (Chill Mix).” This gentle reimagining of the heartfelt dance track transports fans to sunset on the beach. Rose-tinted synths wash over golden sand like ocean waters on the beach, and the warm air is abuzz with love. Completed with KSMHR singing about companionship, “Anywhere’s Home (Chill Mix)” is perfect for date night playlists or hanging out with your best friends.
Axel Boy returns to Audius and delivers a flirtatious new track, “FutureLove.” This playful track is energized by a future house rhythm and fueled by bouncy synths. A honey-like smoothness spread throughout “FutureLove” adds a mischievously coy vibe to this tune. Not only is this track adored by listeners, but inspired producers will soon have access to the stems for “FutureLove” - Axel Boy plans on releasing the blueprints of his track for others to remix!
Iration celebrates the intersection of reggae and rock with their cover of “Cool Me Down” by the Black Seeds. This release comes as one of five songs from their Live From The Cove recording. While all the members of the band were born in Hawaii, Iration came together in Santa Barbara, California, and this beachside performance reflects their appreciation for the ocean. Their cover “Cool Me Down” is as easy and breezy as a decadent day on a sandy beach.
Another exciting Audius debut comes from MANWOLVES, a 5-piece multi-instrumental band based in Chicago. This track, “Dracule,” features a fellow Chicago-borne favorite, rapper Mick Jenkins. MANWOLVES open the song with a honey-rich harmony laced with traces of melancholy. When they break into a blue-tinged jazz groove, Mick Jenkins enters with his luscious flow, his rapping beautiful and forlorn.
Without a doubt, Audius users have innumerable releases to be excited about right now. From KSHMR to Mick Jenkins, listeners will find some of their most beloved artists on this week’s Hot & New Playlist!
