Blond Ambition (@b4boy) is the new solo project from Ex Cops’ founder Brian Harding. After living in the woods of upstate NY for three years, Harding spent a month in LA, recording what would later become a full length album with producer & friend Andrew Miller. 

The first material from those sessions is single 'Hurricanes' - a lush and dream inducing track set against a crisp world beat, purposeful bassline and astral guitar parts. 'Hurricanes' suggests a world that's both catchy and complicated - an undeniable sense of heaviness permeates the track, but it's buoyed by acceptance. Mature material by an artist who understands that music must be personal, despite the risk. Traces of acts E.S.G. and '77 Dead can be heard in the material. 

'Hurricanes' is bundled with B-side 'Confused Forever'. Blond Ambition’s debut LP will be released early 2017.

Trigger EP is the debut body of work by vocalist, musician and performing artist, Alice TM. 

Based in the creative cup of LA's Highland Park, Alice makes art that's deeply personal and emotionally constructive, workshopping specific moments in time in a quest for clarity. Each of the three tracks comprising the EP are conceptual and art bent. Produced by Cozy, the melodies often sit at unusual angles, creating a sound that's both dissonant and warm - self-assured pop music that makes you work just hard enough to earn it.

BEAMS is the electronic project of multi-instrumentalist and producer Zack Kantor from New York. His single for CSCN fuses lo-fi pop with crisp, dark dance melodies to create a contemporary collage of sounds. As we hear a single melodic phrase get looped, warped, delayed, and pitched, it becomes apparent that BEAMS is reconfiguring the pop song structure to unique and successful effect. Kantor is 21 years old.

Swirling and seductive left-field pop act, Vogue Dots is self assured in its songwriting. The band's single for CSCN is comprised of 'Way Out' and 'Thunder', two songs with abstract edges, yet containing a healthy respect for melody. 

The 'Way Out' single was recorded in a cottage on Belle Isle just off the Labrador Peninsula, and is imbued with the surreal, natural wonder of its environment. Vogue Dots are Babette Hayward and Tynan Dunfield from Halifax, Canada.

@MirrorKisses is the vocal-driven electronic pop project by performing artist, George Clanton.

His single "Kill You In Bed" bundled with "Little Heart Surrender" arrives Feb 26 via Cascine's singles imprint, CSCN.

Recently relocating from Virginia to New York, Mirror Kisses has performed a string of shows to support his latest batch of material. Where other internet-producers lose their potency in the transition from URL to IRL, Mirror Kisses thrives under the spotlight.

Marking the 10th release from CSCN is Eiko Hara's "Going Somewhere." Produced by Justyn Pilbrow of The Neighbourhood, "Going Somewhere" serves as Eiko's debut single. The track is a kinetic fusion of alt-rock and hi-gloss pop that lyrically speaks to being hurt, stuck in one place, and needing to pull back in order to move forward.

The latest release from CSCN, Cascine's singles label, comes courtesy of Stockholm-based alternative pop sibling duo, TVÅ. The undeniably lush lead track, "Always Be", features the vocal stylings of Lara and production by Marcus. The pair began writing together in the winter of 2014, recording early tracks on primitive equipment in their apartment. The single also includes B-side "Keep Me A Secret", which further embodies TVÅ's sparkling take on pop music - material that's pristine on paper and also in its execution. The music of TVÅ epitomizes the spirit of CSCN.

CSCN, is pleased to introduce Minneapolis-based producer, @SCRNS (aka Max Petrek), and his powder-coated maxi single, Lavender. The three songs on Lavender were expressly designed to capture the swirling emotions of human romance: the sugary electricity of a powerful kiss, the compelling essence of deep love and the flytrap confusion of post-heartbreak free fall.

Cascine's singles label, CSCN, is pleased to introduce LA-based duo, @TWINKIDS. "Dreamer," the first proper single from the project, is slow building and self aware, an upward spiral of blinking keys and street-ready percussion parts. Composed as a love song to nobody, "Dreamer" is a sexually charged musing on the inner explosions of early romance.

TWINKIDS hail from Oberlin, the same musical cornucopia that famously spawned Trans Am, Teengirl Fantasy, True Panther Sounds, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and more. The duo's disparate musical backgrounds are present in the material - one worked as a J-Pop songwriter in Tokyo, whereas the other studied classical piano at the collegiate level. Together they make music that strives to bend the defintion of pop music while paying homage to its forward thinking contributors, big and small.

Inspired by Jazz greats Ella Fitzerald and Dinah Washington and their 1950's renditions of the song "Manhattan," Korea's Neon Bunny returns with new single "Romance in Seoul." Hazy, windswept, elegant and dreaming, the track is a tangle of keys, strings, and field recordings and feather-lights vocals. Melodically the track takes some unexpected twists, veering between Neon Bunny's penchant for pop jams and the song's more free-form spirit.

Written as a three part story narrating the dissolution of a relationship, "Bad Timing" is the first proper single from Montreal-based musician and performer, @mindbath. The track was originally composed acoustically, but after being sent to friend and frequent collaborator Project Pablo, it returned as a pared back electronic hymn. A fourth verse was then added, vocally referencing Lauryn Hill's timeless break-up jam, "Ex-Factor." The single's b-side, Bedroom Dub, was created on the fly, "in about 30 minutes and recorded off my looping pedal in one live take," explained Mind Bath. 

2016 will also see Mind Bath release an EP along with more music by his other project, Cafe Lanai, whose Paradise EP hit a number of 2015 year-end lists.

Ara Koufax from Melbourne, Australia, make music that oscillates among experiments in house, techno and noise - material that steers clear of easy categorization while remaining thoroughly dancefloor friendly. The pair returns with a two-track single for Cascine's singles label, CSCN, that embodies this approach. "Kissy Fits," the single's namesake, builds at 120 BPMs along a collage of looping vocal samples, INTERPOL sirens and shuffling percussion parts. Whereas "Infrared," the B side, underlies a squelching synth with melodic chord progressions to create a pensive atmosphere that drives the listener deep into the nighttime.

Following a feature last year on Cut Copy's celebrated compilation,  Oceans Apart, Ara Koufax have continued to gain momentum with a single for Cutters Records and an EP through their own label, Downtime. Recently their music has also drawn the attention of Tim Sweeney, Dan Snaith and BBC Radio 1, among others.

Talvi Faustmann and Josh McIntyre are Prince Innocence from Toronto. The two met in high school in 2007 and their relationship has been equal parts complicated and creative since then. 

Today, Prince Innocence debuts their latest single, "Polished" - a hazy, considered gem on which Josh reflects: "Polished" is an ode to the vapidity and fantasy of modern love. A song that speaks to yearning, pleasure, pain -- about that intermingling. We've always worked best with a minimal, stripped down structures and "Polished" is the culmination of that feeling. It's the quintessential representation of our sound."

"Polished" is the project's first new material in over a year and follows 2015's slow burners, "I Don't Care b/w Manic." 2013 saw the release of their debut EP, Lapse.

Evan Michael (@evvnmichael) is a name well known throughout Brooklyn's dance and indie music communities. Having previously been the marketing director at Williamsburg mainstay Cameo, and then later part of the team at Good Room, Evan has booked countless local and international artists.

Evan is also a producer, specializing in midtempo house cuts designed to sound just as good on the dancefloor as they do on a sandy shore. Over the last two years he has released music on Moodgadget and Drumpoet Community. 

Now, as we crest the June solstice, Evan returns with a three-tracker for Cascine's singles label that's both thoughtful and in control. Anchored by tracks "Slept For Weeks" and "Can't Think So" the EP perfectly captures the burnt edges of mid summer in the city.

vivienxo [@vivienxoxo] is the risk-taking solo moniker of Victoria from the European act, Pretty Sad, who released an undeniably charming EP in 2014 on Portland's beloved, Shelflife. To our ears, Pretty Sad channels the best of Sarah Records, brushing their own material with moments even more sensitive and self effacing. 

The music of vivienxo is feminine, but with spikes. her inaugural EP, w84u, was produced and sung by Victoria herself to contain two original cuts plus a cover of track "Sex" by everyone's favorite guilty pleasure, The 1975. On w84u vivienxo takes aim at dudes that have done her wrong, expressing complex emotions with transparency and humor.

Blond Ambition (@b4boy) is the new solo project from Ex Cops’ founder Brian Harding. After living in the woods of upstate NY for three years, Harding spent a month in LA, recording what would later become a full length album with producer & friend Andrew Miller. 

The first material from those sessions is single 'Hurricanes' - a lush and dream inducing track set against a crisp world beat, purposeful bassline and astral guitar parts. 'Hurricanes' suggests a world that's both catchy and complicated - an undeniable sense of heaviness permeates the track, but it's buoyed by acceptance. Mature material by an artist who understands that music must be personal, despite the risk. Traces of acts E.S.G. and '77 Dead can be heard in the material. 

'Hurricanes' is bundled with B-side 'Confused Forever'. Blond Ambition’s debut LP will be released early 2017.
