Björk at the New York Hall of Science
Photo credit: Julieta CervantesWhile most major artists have a regrettable remix somewhere in their back catalogue, Björk has managed to maintain a glowing record, her signature vocal stylings successfully blessing hip-hop, electronica, Icelandic jazz, and dozens of sounds that can’t quite be classified. Thanks to her open and diverse taste and a varied list of collaborators, she delivers music that’s always good and, perhaps more importantly, remains interesting.In honor of her current NYC residency, here’s a mix of Björk songs—a few hits, a few remixes, and a couple of rarities—in a set that features a good chunk of her songs in the 80-95 BPM range (if you want to get DJ nerdy about it). Here’s to a career that has maintained quality, avoided pigeon-holing immaculately, and skirted dull moments for more than 20 years.Army of Björk [dj mix] by Abdullah Saeed on Mixcloud
