Listen: Decent Lovers – Compromising Young Thing
We talked about experimental pop band Decent Lovers in the past and we are glad to inform you they have a new single out. It’s titled “Compromising Young Thing” and its a pretty fun tune if you ask me. It has a chunky autoharp synth sound blended over vintage Moog synth/bass and fun dance beats. Peep it […]

Take A ‘Leap of Faith’ with Zayed Hassan
Looking for something different? How about experimental electronic producer Zayed Hassan? This Bangladesh artist’s music ranges from Jim Brickman-like mellow instrumental all the way to Deep Forest electronica.

Jessie Ware (@Jessie_Ware) – Strangest Feeling
Today, one of my friends tweeted me Jessie Ware and Sampha’s video, “Valentine”, which is absolutely gorgeous. Her take on electronic, R&B/soul infused music reminds me, vaguely, of Jesse Boykins III in its unabashed, fearless, and imperfect beauty (talk about a mouthful). It doesn’t do too much or try too hard, qualities I appreciate beyond […]
Claire Tchaikowski – Those Thousand Seas
Warning: Video is NSFW. Here’s a song that’s too beautiful for words. “Those Thousand Seas”, the title track off of Claire Tchaikowki’s 2009 debut album, is exceptionally simple yet beautiful, as with a lot of vocal music. The Swiss-born daughter of an Irish mother and half Polish father, Claire learned Irish singing from her […]

boyChild (@theboychild) – Counting What Ifs
I had just heard that my song “Midnight Aria” with Belle Boussole was featured in this week’s Chillcast by Anji Bee, and it was there that I discovered boyChild and the gorgeous track “Counting What Ifs” featuring vocalist Soundmouse. boyChild’s self-described “melancholic glitch music” surely doesn’t describe the colorful undertones in this simple, but emotive […]
Ayshay – WARN-U
That it is currently the fasting month and that Senegal-born, Kuwaiti-raised, New York City-based vocalist/producer Fatima Al Qadiri, aka Ayshay‘s song “WARN-U” is out is purely coincidental, but this song is haunting beyond belief, and poignant giving the time of year it is – making me shake with glee. Ayshay’s debut EP, “WARN-U”, will be […]
NEW AudioDax (@AudioDax) – Pop Rocks Mixtape
Summertime seems to be the season of choice for the boys of AudioDax; this time last year, we were jamming to their debut mixtape, The Annexation and in time for this year’s summer festivities, Temble and Krypton-FLO have released their second effort, Pop […]

Experimental soul artist Jesse Boykins III has released a new song for FREE off of his forthcoming release, Way of the Wayfarer. The song, called “Back Home (Mermaids & Dragons)”, was produced by Gold Panda and veers into more of the experimental electronic beats and less of the straight up neo-soul that Boykins is […]

Dona Sandra – Orquesta & Zuzuka Poderosa (@zuzukapoderosa)
We at Boom Boom Chik love the Brazilian baile funk ambassador in New York, Zuzuka Poderosa. Since last year’s LAMC, her star has been rising – rightly so – and fresh out the inbox today came in a tune called “Dona Sandra”, a collaboration between Zuzuka and a 21-year-old Irish producer called Orquesta. The song […]
