In this edition of LITM Pop Picks, we have Mia Catalina and more!
Mia Catalina - “Otra Galaxy”
Mia Catalina is a Chilean singer-songwriter from Viña del Mar, who began her musical journey in 2016, creating songs that blend pop, indie, R&B, and soul — and on her latest single, “Otra Galaxy”, she brings in influences of cheerful retro wave music and warm 90s pop to create a mystical atmosphere right from the very start of the song, culminating with the steady drumming and bass work. With her soulful and well-executed vocals, this one is surely a track to look forward to — especially with the production and the staging of the instruments. Take a listen to the song here!
Jordan Quill - “Golden Skies”
Jordan Lucas Quill, an Australian tropical house music producer, began remixing songs during the 2022 pandemic, inspired by artists like Kygo and Avicii, and has since amassed over 250,000 views on social media — and on his latest single, “Golden Skies”, he brings a high-energy ambient house experience with quite the bounce that blends the best of ambient house, dancey rhythms, punchy synths that cut through any dance floor, and tasteful vocal chops that add to the flavour of the track quite elegantly. With a tight mix to wrap things up, the energy on this song is infectious while striking the right balance of control; all in all, a winner! Take a listen to the track here:
Limbo Kids - “Dopamine”
Limbo Kids (Oxford, UK) return after a decade-long hiatus with their latest single, “Dopamine”, forming part of their EP, “Sirensong”. From the clean electric guitar licks to the tasteful bass playing, this song is held together brilliantly by the opportunistic drumming, the ambience in the vocals, and the smooth-flowing transitions between the various verses and choruses of the tracks that make for a very approachable, organic sound that is sure to keep even the most discerning listener entertained through and through. All in all, a solid execution of innovative melodic and rhythmic ideas! Take a listen to the track here:

Clash Clash Bang Bang - “Cold As Ice”
A force in the European music industry bringing queer music to the main stage, experimental electronic group Clash Clash Bang Bang drop their latest single, “Cold As Ice”, with quite the splash — water puns aside, the whole track has this gritty, angsty energy in the production that is quite nicely complimented by the vocal performance, with the leads and the harmonies laid nicely atop an abyss-deep techno beat that captures your attention effortlessly from start to finish. There’s much to appreciate about the sheer atmosphere in this track, and there’s energy and vibes for ages — take a listen to the track here!
