Introducing greyhat, an electronic artist coming to you live from the pine tree state, aka Maine. His new remix of The 1975 is absolutely stunning; an intricate reworking of “The Birthday Party” that’s warm and wistful and everything an indie rock remix should be. Greyhat gets glitchy and weird with chopped vocals, speedy drum patterns, and layers of trippy effects. …
Emu Creek – Time I Feel
Brand new electronic group Emu Creek mesmerize with their debut song, “Time I Feel.” I’d say I’m anxiously awaiting their next song, but the first one has me feeling way too relaxed to worry about it. “Time I Feel” is a progressive house tune that gracefully evolves—ultimately hitting a peak around 3-minutes-in when warm waves of angelic vocals crash into …
Khruangbin & Knxwledge – Dearest Alfred (MyJoy)
Knxwledge + Khruangbin = đź’™ The best of both styles ooze together in this collaborative reworking of “Dearest Alfred.” Knxwledge’s hazy samples and instrumentation cruise alongside Laura Lee’s airy vocals, creating a pleasantly repetitive groove. The effect is warm and hypnotic, which is everything you’d hope to hear from a pairing like this.

You may not know it, but producer Jim-E Stack and Bon Iver have worked together before, with Jim-E contributing to Bon Iver’s 2020 single, “PDLIF“.

Slow Magic – Somewhere (feat. Woven In Hiatus)
I’m glad Slow Magic has returned. The enigmatic, mask-wearing producer has been a favorite of mine for many many years. “Somewhere” is the first track on his phenomenal new EP, Closer 2 U, and it takes me back in time.
