Last year we brought you our #earlypicks17 -this year were wetting your musical appetites with a few more ones to watch or should we say listen to in #17
MARK REDITO
Mark Redito, formerly known as Spazzkid, is a Filipino musician based in Los Angeles, California. His musical style has been described as “a signature blend of electronic pop, J-pop and beat music
SACHA ROBOTTI
With a REAL name like Robotti, it may seem obvious that you’re set for a life working in a synthesizer factory or in Artificial Intelligence. However, this Italian-German, Belgium bred 3rd culture polyglot with a Russian first name, has a huge talent for music, which surfaced quickly when he started to play the cello from age 7. In his teens in the 90s, Sacha discovered the rumblings of the underground house and techno scene of his native Brussels, which inspired him so much that he put down the bow and picked up the turntables.
THE GOLDEN PONY
The Golden Pony Broke onto the scene in early 2013 with a string of bootleg remixes of popular electronic artists. They gathered over 1,000,000 plays on Soundcloud,had three #1 hits on Hype Machine, and have garnered hundreds of positive reviews in the blogosphere.
OBEY CITY
Last year Brooklyn producer Obey City, aka Sam Obey, recruited R&B visionary Kelela for a hazy twilight ballad called “Airy.” The original track was amazing, and today there’s an equally good alternate version by Nashville duo Jensen Sportag from Obey City’s new Merlot Sounds: Alternate Versions EP.
