patternist

Patternist impresses with Far From Now. It didn’t take long to hum the upbeat, dancey-vibey track. Based in Oregon, singer-songwriter Gabe Mouer is the music wizard behind the electro pop act.

Influenced by The 1975, Wild Cub, Phoenix, St.Lucia, Patternist has opened for NBC’s The Voice Juliet Simms, The Ataris, and Train.

The boy wonder is buzzing with song placements in Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and blog love from Pop Matters! and Baeble Music. Look out for the upcoming EP Give It Up.

the-catching

A childhood buddy of mine called me from his Wall Street office asking “Have you ever heard of The Catching from NJ? My 10 year old son saw them live and really likes the band”.

After a quick search, I found the 4 piece pop act which wasn’t hard to find. I was hooked after a first listen. The latest single Ready Set Go is straight-up pop rock. The Catching was added to Nick Music and are #1 on YouNow. They have two videos floating around the net directed by Marc Klasfeld (Twenty One Pilots, Katy Perry) and are completely booked with shows this month via High School Nation Tour. From Rumson, NJ arose Charlie Puth — are these boys be next?

Since I first came across The Bergamot, a husband / wife indie folk duo, I’ve been addicted ever since. The new remix of the popular track Forget About Tomorrow is their best yet – think Coldplay meets The Black Eyed Peas.

The Brooklyn based indie act is on a 50 state tour that wraps up October 22nd and have been featured in BuzzFeed, The Deli Magazine, and The Music Bit. The dedicated touring act has performed alongside All American Rejects and Young the Giant, while the latest track was remixed by LA based Malachi Mott (The Game & Zedd). Last but not least, The Bergamot’s created The Unity Collective, a project that brings people together during this divisive era. Props!

death-in-the-afternoon

Swedish producer duo Death In The Afternoon has crafted a stuck-in-your-head dream pop track. Think M83 meets MGMT.

Their vague backstory hasn’t stopped the Swedish darlings from heating up the blogosphere. They’ve also had tracks placed in TV series including AWKWARD, Looking & Pretty Little Liars.

Good Enough was released via the Swedish indie label Sommarhjarta. Keep an eye on this electro/pop duo.

naations

Naations is blowing it up with Kingdom. The track which landed on Spotify’s Fresh Finds Playlist and New Music Friday has elements of Lorde, Rihanna, and M.I.A.

The Australian duo consisting of Natt Dunn & Nicky Night Time have written for artists including Jess Kent, Alex Winston, and Bearson.

Having quickly made a name for themselves, the dynamic duo just wrapped up performing at Australia’s BIGSOUND festival.
