MP3 SELECTS: Playlists & New Music from anamē, Hayden James, Mindchatter & More
In the modern era, distribution services push out over 60,000 new tracks every single day. How do you cut through all the noise, select what to listen to, and boost your playlist game? Introducing MP3 SELECTS, our weekly rundown of new EDM music and our updated playlists on Spotify. Check out this week’s round up below:
anamē — “Patched”
Scandinavian production duo anamē have released their debut album, Beautiful World. Out via Anjunabeats, the 13-track collection is full of ambition, heart, and adventure, seeing the pair of producers present their worldview through breathtaking house melodies and emotive lyrics. The five-minute “Patched” is one of the only tracks on the album without lyrics, but instead trades the vocal elements for stunning progressive house and sparkling synth work. It’s a celebratory anthem track that makes you want to get out and run into the horizon without turning back.

Hayden James, AR/CO — “We Could Be Love”
Multi-platinum Melbourne-born, LA-based producer Hayden James has teamed up with electro-pop duo AR/CO to finally share their new single “We Could Be Love.” Boasting dance-focused melodies and emotive lyricism that continue to permeate Hayden James’ catalog, the track is an arrangement of the vibrant house-pop that has made him one of Australia’s finest exports.
Saturated with endearing sentiments, AR/CO’s angelic vocals shine against James’ euphoric synths, thumping basslines, and percussive accents. Hayden James has also accompanied his second single of the year with an official music video, which you can watch below. Fans will be able to hear the track at Hayden James’ upcoming tour dates, including his upcoming performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on October 27th.

Mindchatter — “Pull Me Back”
New York singer, songwriter, and producer Mindchatter has unveiled his new single “Pull Me Back.” Out via ODESZA’s Foreign Family Collective, the track blends delicate vocals and spellbinding lyrical musings with flourishes of down-pitched flair and upbeat dance production. Fans of Mindchatter will be happy to hear that the track marks another taste of what’s to come in the producer’s forthcoming Spiritual Puberty EP, due out later this month. Ahead of the EP’s release, fans can catch Mindchatter at Life Is Beautiful on September 22nd and CRSSD on September 24th.
Starya – “Meadowlark”
Prepare to be transported to otherworldly realms with Starya‘s enchanting electronic single, “Meadowlark.” Released on August 31 under the prestigious Altered States label, this ethereal track bridges the earthly and celestial in a genre-defying journey. Starya, a multifaceted artist known for her vocal-driven electronic sound, draws inspiration from the serene Pennsylvania farm where “Meadowlark” was conceived, complete with the musical commentary of a vocal mockingbird. Altered States, the brainchild of electronic pioneers Zeds Dead, aligns seamlessly with Starya’s mission to keep dance floors vibrant and harmonize the species.
