K.O. by @jazzcodrington is a collection of intricate, mellow beats, a cure for the unrest in my troubled soul as I wake up to another hazy day. Bajan-Canadian producer Jazz Codrington’s latest EP was made entirely of sampling and sequencing with the PO-33 Knockout. The result is a short and sweet feature of Afrofuturist glitch hop to soundtrack a break from the noise of the everyday.

@harleyyalexander is very chill on I'm Feeling Thi

@harleyyalexander is very chill on I'm Feeling Things (out now via @oofrecords) - or at least he tries to be. Across six strolling pop-rock songs, Alexander parses through the things that he is feeling. Sometimes he feels nice things but other times they are dark and heavy things. But on the super-friendly tune "Exactly You Now," Alexander makes it clear that even if he's not always kind to himself, he will always be kind to you: "I'm not gonna make it about me. If you're having feelings, I'm gonna be available if you need someone who loves you," he sings. 🥰🥰🥰

"You Were There" is an introspective pop-rock song

"You Were There" is an introspective pop-rock song about overcoming fear to process insecurities, whether it's grief, uncertainty, excitement, or a combination of everything. Hailing from the Kawartha Lakes, @heapsband bring upbeat energy to the instrumentals, reflecting the empowerment in recognizing your fear; once you "realize the power [you] give it," you can relocate that energy to the change you wish to see. With this danceable song, Heaps does a great job of making emotional growth 'playlistable'.
