Dezeen Music Project: Special by Rainy Piano
As his name suggests, New Zealand-based artist Rainy Piano has a knack for creating slightly downbeat, piano-lead pop songs. There’s nothing wrong with that, though, especially when the melodies are as strong as they are in this track called Special.

Dezeen Music Project: Run by Kinds.
Cornwall-based production duo Kinds. (aka Karen Warner and Mark Morrish) have sent us a great new track called Run.
Structurally ambitious, with interesting rhythms that build up and drop out in unexpected ways, the song is held together by Warner’s effortlessly catchy vocals that are a delight throughout.

Dezeen Music Project: Blue Room by Yodashe
This experimental pop song by London artist Yodashe is very musically ambitious, combing glitchy beats with brash, dissonant vocal harmonies in a free-flowing arrangement. But the key is the variety of catchy melodic hooks, which pop up in unexpected places and keep the track engaging throughout.
Blue Room won't make easy background music, but listen carefully and there's lots to enjoy.

Dezeen Music Project: Never Get Close by The Slow Revolt
This electronica-tinged track by London producer and singer The Slow Revolt has a wonderfully effortless charm that belies the tight structure and attention to detail evident throughout. Understated and unassuming, the song achieves the feted balancing act of feeling both fresh and familiar at the same time.
The track is currently available as a free download ahead of its official release on the Fields record label.

Dezeen Music Project: Desired Effect by Atom Tree
Desired Effect is a wistful pop song by Glasgow band Atom Tree. With plucked strings and what sounds like a glockenspiel driving the track, it has a much more analogue feel than 45, the previous Atom Tree track we featured on Dezeen Music Project.

Dezeen Music Project: Phantoms by K H U S H I
Here's a brand new track by east London musician K H U S H I, set to be the lead track on the singer/songwriter's forthcoming debut EP.
Phantoms is a slow-burning, wistful pop song packed with lush vocal harmonies and delicate keyboard lines, which builds up masterfully to a driving, rhythmic crescendo.
K H U S H I enlisted the in-demand talents of Alt-J's producer Charlie Andrews to record the track, which suggests his short musical career is very much on an upwards trajectory.
You can listen to K H U S H I's debut single Magpie here.

Dezeen Music Project: Mountain by Only Girl
Only Girl, aka Ellen Murphy, is a London-based singer with a dreamy, distinctly 90s R&B sound.
This track called Mountain combines simple, sparse percussion with lush, soaring vocal harmonies. Comparisons with fellow south-Londoner Jessie Ware immediately spring to mind, which suggests commercial success could be just around the corner for Only Girl.

Dezeen Music Project: Solaris by Giga Herbs
Here's the latest single taken from New York indie-rockers Giga Herbs' debut album Mad Weird LP. Solaris starts off much more stripped-down than previous tracks we've featured by the band, but it doesn't take long for a nice dose of fuzzy, distorted guitar to kick in.
It's good to know there are still bands out there who know how to make a great-sounding guitar-based pop record.

Dezeen Music Project: Waste Of Time (remix) by Jungle
This remix of Danish artist MØ's track Waste Of Time by London producers Jungle brings together two of the most exciting acts to emerge last year, both of which look set for a stellar 2014.
Jungle have toned down the intensity of MØ's original track here, sacrificing the singer's raw energy in favour of a mellow-but-funky groove.

Dezeen Music Project: I Hold by Sivu featuring Marika Hackman
UK singer-songwriter Sivu, aka James Page, seems to have spent most of 2013 on the verge hitting the big time and is surely set to explode in 2014. Working with in-demand producer Charlie Andrew, the man behind Alt-J's critically acclaimed debut album An Awesome Wave, should certainly help.
Sivu's latest EP, I Lost Myself, was released earlier this month, but he has made this track called I Hold - presumably an off-cut from the official release - available online as a free download.
It features Sivu's typically ethereal vocals, with a guest appearance from singer Marika Hackman, all accompanied by a melancholy blend of pianos, guitars and a dark underlying electronic bass.

Dezeen Music Project: Magpie by K H U S H I
London Design Festival kicks off next week so we thought it was only right to focus on music by some of the city's upcoming musical talents on Dezeen Music Project over the next few weeks.
East London musician K H U S H I has had a busy year since we featured his track When You Start on Dezeen Music Project in September 2012 and has been getting increasingly more airplay on Radio 1.
In October he'll be releasing his debut single, a heartfelt love song called Magpie. This is a new radio-friendly edit of the track, which he has just finished mixing, but the extended version is definitely worth a listen too.
