Synthonic – “Lampin’”
We’ll start with an incredible album called “Lampin’”, by Synthonic, who cooks up a groove buffet that’s smooth, funky, and straight-up vibey from start to finish. Think acid jazz with a modern twist: lush Rhodes, tight horn stacks, and basslines so buttery you’ll wanna spread ‘em on toast!
The album kicks off with “All Day, Every Day,” a feel-good jam that struts with confidence and easy swagger, setting the tone for a record that’s all about chilling with class. The title track, “Lampin’”, is pure laid-back magic, laid over a steady beat with rolling piano riffs and that sweet, jazzy brass in full shine mode.
Kieron Garrett, aka Synthonic, flexes mad versatility here, blending live instrumentation with synth textures and dope samples. With guests like Vasilis Xenopoulos on sax and Jack Birchwood on trumpet, the vibe never dips.
This joint ain’t background music, it’s the soundtrack to your smoothest moments. This incredible project is a certified mellow banger.
RSAI – “Let the good times roll”
Straight outta Moscow with the funk turned all the way up, RSAI brings us an incredible track called “Let the Good Times Roll”: a disco-drenched slice of pure joy. This track doesn’t overthink it.. it just feels good. Built on a groovy bassline, shimmering synths, and a beat that practically demands you hit the dancefloor, this joint oozes sunshine and good vibes.
The vocals? Chef’s kiss. Soulful, playful, and full of sass, the lead voice rides the beat like it was made just for her. She’s got that throwback charm but keeps it fresh, blending retro feels with slick modern polish.
This is a complete vibe reset. One spin and you’re transported to a sweaty summer night, hands up, zero worries. RSAI doesn’t ask for deep analysis; he just wants you to smile, move, and live a little. Mission accomplished. Now do yourself a favor and let the good times actually roll!
MAX BARSKIH – “Sound of Bloom”
Max Barskih welcomes summer with Sound of Bloom, a radiant afrahouse-infused single that pulses with warmth, rhythm, and pure feel-good energy. As the third release from his upcoming English-language album, the track marks a vibrant shift from the introspective mood of Stomach Butterfly and the seductive tension of Someone New. Here,
Max dives headfirst into joy—layering sunlit percussion, buoyant melodies, and vocals that seem to shimmer with positivity. There’s a breezy immediacy to the song, one that invites you to dance before you even realize it, earning its nickname from fans as “a song with a bubble gum flavor.”
But beneath the brightness lies intention. As Max explains, it’s not just about celebrating the season—it’s about awakening something deeper, a sense of inner bloom and emotional release. That spirit carries through every beat, making Sound of Bloom not just a summer anthem, but a small act of renewal. Released alongside a playful cowboy core editorial for L’Officiel Ukraine and a glimpse into his evolving music lab, this track shows Max at his most expansive—ready to connect, to move, and to make this summer unforgettable.
Sons of Levin – “Ecclesiastes”
Sons of Levin deliver a powerful statement with Ecclesiastes, a blues-rock funk jam that blends socially conscious lyricism with irresistible musical energy. From the very first riff, the track radiates groove and purpose—channeling the spirit of Stevie Wonder and Vulfpeck through spunky breakdowns, vintage tones, and a rhythm section that refuses to sit still. But Ecclesiastes is more than just a good time. It’s a call for unity in the face of collective struggle, with lyrics that confront the erosion of freedom, justice, and human connection while still holding space for joy and hope. The message is clear: the world may be fractured, but music remains a force that can bring us back to each other. Led by brothers Dylan and Connor Levinson, the band leans into their jam-band roots without sacrificing structure, crafting a track that feels both freewheeling and intentional. The chemistry between members is palpable—dueling keyboards, dynamic guitar lines, and a rhythm section that grooves with precision and fire. Mixed and mastered by Jan Schwartz, the production captures a live, unfiltered feel that adds to the track’s sense of immediacy and soul. As the third single from their upcoming EP, Ecclesiastes offers a glimpse into the band’s evolving sound—vintage at heart, modern in execution, and bold in its convictions. It’s a reminder that sometimes the most effective protest is one you can dance to.
