8. "Infrared" - Prefuse 73: It has been four years since Prefuse 73 released any new music, but with the unveiling of the clean, head-nodding single, “Infrared,” he has initiated a series of major works slated for release in 2015.
9. "Running with the Boys" - Leisure Cruise: Leisure Cruise’s remix of “Running with the Boys,” is a soaring synth-pop song with a side of funk that is light and dark, euphoric and introspective.
