Todd Terje – Jungelknugen (Four Tet remix)
A headspinning Four Tet remix for an as yet unreleased Todd Terje song finally gets a full release after numerous radio rip uploads.
A vocal-lead cut of hazy R&B from rising Irish act Percy Chamburuka.
It’s a beautiful and brittle modern electronic ballad from Talos’ new album Wild Alee, out on April 21st.
From the excellent debut album from The Internet’s Syd, who makes sensual modern R&B feel easy. ‘Nothin’ To Somethin’ is my current favourite.
Every now and again, Missy Elliott returns to claim your ears. ‘I’m Better’ is a Missy jam of the highest order. Get low.
From a remix companion EP to last year’s debut album For All We Know, a standout bumping remix from Kaytranada that channels those ‘Cranes In The Sky’ for a new vibe on ‘Get To Know Ya’.
Jack Hamill returns to galactic electronic funk.
A highlight from the 23 yer-old grime superstar’s new album Gang Signs And Prayers.
Thundercat shuts down the friend zone, from the jazz-funk falsetto-flouting bassist’s new album Drunk.
Sampha’s soft voice is the kind that warms the soul, even when he’s singing of panic.
