Laurel Halo: Chance of Rain
It’s not as challenging as some critics have made it out to be, not when Halo’s grilles of beats can so easily ensnare you, body and mind, like how sheets of rain catches a child in awe.
Bassment Syndicate: Out of the Basement
Bassment Syndicate’s fangirl, Naj Frusciante, gushes about the band in preparation for their Future Music Festival Asia 2014 performance.

Gesaffelstein: Aleph

Death Grips: Government Plates
Death Grips’ seemingly unrelenting quest to provoke might just make them the most important music act in the independent scene.
Sampha: Duality
Ever since Sampha’s smoky, restrained falsetto registered on SBTRKT’s debut LP, he marked a quieter presage of the r’n’b renaissance that came post-Frank Ocean and The Weeknd.
