I don't know how I let this one slip by, but I'm glad Skream's marketing team sent it over. "Up All Night" has so many perfect elements to it. The beat was produced by Switch and Diplo (Major Lazer). Then, add in Alex Claire's vocals, who are some of the most powerful male vocals out there right now (I'd love to see him do a track with Adele). The original is great on its own, but the Godfather of Dubstep transforms it into a sub bass laden, slightly wobbly dark tune, that is comparable to the remix that made him famous; La Roux's "In For The Kill". Buy it now on iTunes.

There's somewhat of a throwback feel to this production and I think it also comes through in the lyrical content. I didn't grow up in the South or in the projects but Big K.R.I.T's verses choke me up every time.

There isn't a whole lot to say about this track, besides the fact that it is just beautiful. Accompanied by the surreal vocals of Taken By Tree's Victoria Bergsman, Swedish Duo Korallreven bid farewell to summer with this flawless experimental tune. The limited As Young As Yesterday 12″ comes pressed on orange vinyl and features remixes from Panda Bear + Girl Unit. Be sure to check it out.

With so many "rappers" out there, ASAP Rocky might have slipped by your radar. What you probably didn't know is that this Harlem rapper is one of the best out there. Some have characterized his sound as Trillwave, with influences from the chopped and screwed era of leaned out beats and syrup sippin. However, ASAP Rocky and the ASAP team aren't just trying to re-live the glory days in a genre that is dead, but rather creating something new, and raw. Check out "Trilla" below.

You've probably never heard of Carousel. Neither had I, until today. Faithful daily SB reader Devan U. sent us over a chilled out track by the duo (Kevin Friedman and Jackson Phillips) and I was quite impressed. I spent a long time searching the interwebs trying to find anything on them, and found literally nothing. So, either I don't know how to use Google, or SB is bringing you a completely undiscovered group with some serious talent. Check out "Games", and keep a look out for these guys.
