About a year ago, the beautiful voice of Maggie Rogers was brought to light by world-renown tastemaker Pharrell Williams, as the young artist's captivating indie-electronic sound brought the genius himself to tears in his NYU Masterclass. Yesterday, American songwriter and producer Tycho released his rendition of Rogers' "Alaska," marking only the second time the ambient, downtempo artist has worked with vocals. While the primary focus of the original rests on the vocals, Tycho adds an element of progression to the song, including well-placed plucks and faster-paced drums to give the song more drive and energy. The combination of Tycho's flawless production with serene vocals provides an overwhelming sense of anticipation for the future of Tycho, further supplementing the organic feeling he's notorious for. Stay tuned for more by the multi-talented musician, also recognized for his premiere photography of lush landscapes.

Although It's only been a few months since world-renown artist Bonobo released his latest studio album Migration, the 41-year-old producer shows no signs of slowing down as he returns to the fray with another EP to top his already magnificent discography. The EP features two renditions of his previously released track "Bambro Koyo Ganda", the first a repetition off his Migration project and the second featuring analog instrumentation to give the sounds a more authentic nature to blend perfectly with the ample usage of foley. The last track on this project is a completely fresh original consisting of elongated female vocals, an uptempo house beat, and synthesized saw-wave plucks to build the progressive nature of the song. What I love most about Bonobo is his ability to create a psychedelic ambiance, perfectly balancing natural and synthetic sounds to create an atmosphere few can match. Stay tuned for his upcoming tour coming in Fall.
