Carlos Gonzales appears to be a very nice dude from Clifton, New Jersey, and he raps under the moniker
CL Sosa. He was featured on the
Salad Fork Compilation For World Hunger that we'd written about
on Monday and he kindly sent over his latest tune
Stormy Black later that night. Though you might know that NFOP isn't that much into covering hip hop (though we like it), after having this one on constant repeat for almost two days now we just have to admit that we simply cannot afford to ignore such a huge talent who lists The Jesus And Mary Chain and M83 as his influences, raps with a very nice flow, and with
Mylkeyz he has a man in charge of the knobs and buttons who knows some things about the importance of a tight production. And man is that an irresistible beat.

Last night, Austin, Texas pal Josef Calamus aka
Lay Bac made his latest jams available as a
digital 7 inch, and the a-side
Stay Out Tonight is his most beautiful tune so far, a blissful and dreamy, eighties-infused beach jam built upon a pretty danceable beat. We won't come home till the morning light.

All the way from Erlangen, Bavaria has 16-year-old Henrik Stelter aka
Light Leak set off to add some new perspectives to the ever-expanding universe called chillwave. Stelter's approach is very sound-centered and rather ambient in its feel, though there are some tunes on his debuting
Thoughts of Mirth that do lean towards the big names of this strand of contemporary electronic music, only with a slightly darker, almost pessimistic exposure. You can download the whole EP for free via Stelter's
bandcamp.

After the splendid tune
Vino that Yohsuke had sent over
last week, our most adored man behind the psych pop project
BAnanas Symphony has put a short EP with the same name on his
bandcamp today. And with the new tracks, things start to get a little more demanding -
To Love Somebody is a very experimental approach that only tentatively unfolds itself to become a very smooth pop gem for a short amount of time before it crumbles away again into a congregation of squeaks and chirrs. Tempting.

We know next to nothing about Tokyo, Japan producer
Nites except for the fact that he/she is able to express extreme politeness with amazingly few words in e-mails and that he/she has made two splendid remixes for fellow Japanese band
Hotel Mexico's
It's Twinkle, one smooth, the other one a bit more harsh and upbeat, and both definitely worth a close listen. But most of all, Nites' own
White Sign is a beautiful piece of shoegaze, with thick layers of guitars drenched in reverb and some very nice synth production.

Headless Horseman is a pretty exciting new duo consisting of Fareed Sajan and Conner O'Neill. The two have only finished five tracks so far, but that doesn't really matter as one is more promising than the other. You can stream all tunes over at their
bandcamp and download my favourite
Swansong below, an amazing gem that starts with a blurry and well-known sampled bassline in the distance and merges smoothly into intimate chamber pop carried only by a cautious guitar and Kegan Hollister's moony vocals, only occasionally and carefully accompanied by gently sampled choirs. Once again, we're spellbound.
