Playlist: Tracks of the week #12
New songs you should hear this week…
This week’s installment of new music debuted/heard in the last week stretches over to about the last 12 days or so. Drake continues his run of killer singles with the silky smooth ‘Hold On We’re Going Home’, SZA’s big track ‘Julia’ presaged her Top Dawg Entertainment signing announcement, former WU LYFers’ Los Porcos delved deeper into Yacht Rock, DOOM aka Viktor Vaughn, Earl Sweatshirt & Thundercat appeared on Adult Swim Singles Programme cut ‘Between Villians’ from Captain Murphy aka Flying Lotus. Kwes, Brolin and Active Child both returned with new music.
On the electronic and dance front, Fort Romeau debuted another cut from his EP on Ghostly, Kaytranada showed his beat chops while Bam Spacey and Andrew Weatherall remixes Club 8 and Jagwar Ma respectively.
Locally, Dublin electronic producer KaraKara debuted the headnodding ‘Bringing It All Back Again’, Young Wonder showed off their collab with Brooklyn’s Black Light Dinner Party, Out On A Limb gave us a track from Hidden Highways’ new LP and Cillo displayed some evidence of a Jacques Greene influence.
