Translating to "rogue," the French word filou is less of a suggestion and more of an order to get unpredictable. -Amada EcheverriaSpazzkid: "Truly" (Go Yama Remix)
It's like someone threw a bunch of gummi bears, rainbows, two spliffs of Blue Dream, and a California roll into a blender, then poured into my cup. Yum. -David Garber (@dlgarber)Rødhåd: "Haumea"
Everyone's favorite techno beard strikes again! With this Haumea EP, Rodhad's Berghain-honed techno goes through three spins: loopy and hypnotic on the first cut, dark and dirty on the Ø Phase remix, and glitch-bleepy on the "Dirt Mix." Pick your poison. - Michelle Lhooq (@michellelhooq)Mavado: "Hotter Than Bread" (Drink Up Riddim) [TJ Records]
I bake bread to this riddim, reel up -Dylan CoburnDjemba Djemba: "Core" (Djemba's Selassie Bootleg)
This track is all sorts of trouble. It's got like eight switch-ups in three and a half minutes. I've heard whole albums with less variety than just this track alone. - Jemayel Khawaja (@JemayelK)Blonde: "I Loved You" (Preditah Remix)
The Birmingham bassline maestro provides another heavy dose of classic garage. -Gabriel Herrera (@gabrielherrera)K9 & Visionist: "Untouchable"
I love it when grime MCs work the names of producers into their verses. I also love it when they make music that makes me want to fight somebody. -Gabriel HerreraKazimier: "#love" [Connect]
Some intergalactic shit. This guy shows his roots via classical percussion and infuses it with radio transmissions and synths. –Amada Echeverria
