SoundCloud (http://www.soundcloud.com) is a social sound platform that gives users access to the world’s largest community of music and audio creators. It allows people to upload their own original music content and also discover music from other artists around the world. It’s a great tool for those who are always seeking new stuff to listen to, other than mainstream radio tunes.

On my quest to discover new exciting artists on SoundCloud, I came across Bob Moses. Bob Moses is a Brooklyn-based Canadian house music duo consisting of Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance. The band mixes electronic vibes with deep, introspective lyrics. Their songs, as described by many, stay both musically and lyrically between the darkness and the dance floor. Their debut album, “Days Gone By”, was released on September, 2015. It’s a great pick whether you’re planning on having a glass of wine and just chill on your own on a Saturday night or if you’re on the mood of going out dancing.

Some of the tracks from Days Gone By aren’t available on SoundCloud. Fortunately, the best ones (“Days Gone By” and “Tearing Me Up”), in my humble opinion, are can be streamed here:

Other great songs from the duo, from their EP “Far From the Tree” (released on 2013), are “Winter’s Song”:

... and “Stealing Fire”:

There’s also a great full performance of the band on the radio KEXP, which can be watched here:
