It’s a video day! This is the beautiful ButterClock’s new one, featuring her track ‘Beverly Hills’ and with visuals by Black Swan. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like inside my head, this is as close as you can come without surgery.
I’ve mentioned Daniel Fisher AKA Physical Therapy before here; his heavy remix of Alicia Keys’ ‘Unthinkable’ has become one of my favorite songs of the year, and I’ve thrown a few of his other tracks in various mixes. The man is adept as hell at twisting pop into just the right combination of tense vibes and melancholic dance, one of the reasons he’s part of the awesome GHE20 GOTHIK crew. His latest remix is a collab between Keys and Drake, with washes of ocean waves and skittering beats overlaying everything. Sure to make your soul rocket.

ButterClock collaborator Emily Church aka SBK has created a mini-mixtape just for Better Than Sex! Proving she’s just as clever with pop mutations as she is with the dreamy visuals she employs, Emy drags together r’n’b and hip-hop into a tricked-out tone perfect for casual satisfaction. Chewy + cheap American Luv, SBK-style. We luv it too.

This is going to be a Mixtape Weekend! This one is a sweet little mix dedicated to my love of green goodness, early ’90s dance and rave, and some of my fave sounds from the Nows. It’s all about the damn love.

If you’ve been following good music in any capacity then you already know How To Dress Well. The German wunderkind has been creating some of the dreamiest, ghosted-out lo-fi R’n’B I’ve ever heard, and I was frankly shocked at myself when I realized I hadn’t mentioned him before on here. Forty whacks with a wet noodle, Bart. Now that he’s getting ready to release his first LP Love Remains, I have an excuse to post about him so I damn well am. The LP will include re-recorded versions of songs from EPs released for free online (none of which are available anymore, I think) and, if the new ‘You Won’t Need Me Where I’m Goin’ is any indication, they’re going to outdo even the aching beauty of the old ones.
