This is Aaron Axelsen's Top 5 New Music
For Week of September 16, 2013:

anya1. ANYA KVITKA

I've recently been asked by several record label A&R scouts about any emerging talent from the Bay Area that they should keep an eye on and I emphatically responded every time with "Yes, Anya Kvitka!"

San Jose's alt-nu-soul diva Anya Kvitka is an incredibly talented rising star out of the South Bay music scene with boundless potential and she'd be perfect to tour with Fitz And The Tantrums, too.

Check out Anya Kvitka's fantastic brand new video for 'One Less'

 

 

haim4x3-012. HAIM

One of indie rock's brightest new stars hail from Los Angeles and are a trio of musically gifted sisters with an affinity for their parents record collection, i.e. The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks. The Haim sisters released a series of independent singles which not only caught the attention of bloggers and music industry tastemakers alike, but also the keen ear of legendary record producer guru Rick Ruben who inked them to his Columbia Record label. Haim make only their second Bay Area appearance to date at this year's Treasure Island music festival next month (their first was opening up for Vampire Weekend at the Fox).

 

thecolourist4x3-013. POPSCENE

This Thursday at SF weekly indie club night popscene two exciting and up-and-coming artists make the trek up from So Cal for a co-headlining gig. LA upstarts The Colourist, whom perhaps you've seen as the band featured in those AT&T/NOKIA TV spots, and one of my favorite new chillwave/electronic music producers Ghost Loft collectively will perform and blow some minds at the Rickshaw Stop. Plus, DJ sets by me and Miles The DJ. popscene-sf.com

TENSNAKE4x3-015. SUBSONIC PICK OF THE WEEK: TENSNAKE

German electronic music producer/DJ and architect of one of my favorite underground dance tunes of 2010 'Coma Cat' recently released a phenomenal new single 'See Right Through' featuring Fiora.

It's the perfect soundtrack for driving around the city at 3am after leaving a club and a MUST if you're a fan of UK dance act Disclosure.
