![Gilligan Moss - 'Choreograph': New York producer and garden-core extraordinaire, Gilligan Moss is a master of creating beautiful order through chaos. Nearly two years after it's Soundcloud release, 'Choreograph' is finally getting the EP release it deserves.

Silicon - 'God Emoji': The project of Unknown Mortal Orchestra associate Kody Nielson. A similar zig-zagging electronic sound as his fellow New Zealand band, the track floats in the ether and walking synth basses swerve at the lower end of the mix as Neilson whines: "I don't wanna go out on a Saturday night", we know the feeling.
![Bop English - Struck Matches: The solo project of White Denim singer James Petralli, it still contains all the oaky charm of his band but stuffed with a greater intimacy. Patralli's voice fronts and squelchy surf guitars pitter-patter in the background. At it's best, a charming love song with a killer hook; at worst? A pretty great White Denim off-cut.]()

![Night Engine - Wound Up Tight: Lead by a profoundly 80s bassline, I'd accuse Night Engine of ripping off Talking Heads' entire sound if I didn't love them so much. Vocals akin to Bowie at his most spritely and a chorus that blows up with a wiry guitar line the whole track feels like it's on a constant crescendo.]()

![Pile - 'Mr Fish': Pile have been making noise within the Boston scene and aren't slowing down with their quickly growing fanbase. They're rough around the edges and really don't care what you think of them; their music has a similar temperament. Every song is a timebomb that will either blow unexpectedly or diffuse itself - you can expect the unexpected but you'll still be surprised.]()

It's no surprise that a remix featuring The Streets' Mike Skinner and Jammer is as, if not more, brutal and venomous as the original. The bassline drags itself across the floor only accentuating how cutthroat the lyrics of this tune are.]()
