The Editors' New Groove is a weekly pow-wow on the freshest new releases from THUMP's editors and regular contributors' radars.Daniel Avery - Drone Logic (Factory Floor Remix)
Many of today's dance music darlings are former indie rockers who jumped ship before it fully capsized. Generally I do not trust those people. Daniel Avery and Factory Floor—they are the exceptions. Love you guys. (Max Pearl)Lettuce - Slippin Into Darkness (GRiZ Remix Ft. Jessica Breanne)
Microphone check one two what is this, this new one from Griz is that funky bizness. Float like gravity, never had a cavity—actually shit I do have a cavity, maybe the dentist will let me blast this brain-twister while he drills into my teeth later this afternoon. Turn up for Novocain. (David Garber)
Holy motherfuck. (Max Pearl)Chingy x Ludacris x Snoop Dogg - Holidae Inn (Mike Manfready Remix)
A fun game you can play if you want to kill some time and probably horrify yourself is pick a rapper's name, type said rapper's name into google, followed by the words "trap remix." While not being of particularly high quality, or even a song I would throw on while DJing some dumb college party to make drunk kids dance, it is valuable that this song exists, if only to provide comfort that if you google "Chingy trap remix," you will find exactly what you are looking for. (Drew Millard)Weezer - Say It Ain't So (KillaGraham Remix)
If I died tomorrow, I would be sad, because there are so many trap remixes that exist in the world and I must hear all of them. Once you have heard this song, you will never be able to un-hear it. Rivers Cuomo runs the trap. If you want to destroy my sweater, hold this thread while I turn down for what. (Drew Millard)London Grammar - Hey Now (Bonobo Remix)
Anyone who knows me knows that Domino's chicken kickers are one of my favorite things on earth. I know what you're thinking, so let me explain. Kickers are good but not great, they know their place. They would rather be the best in the realm of shitty chicken, versus the worst in the realm of high-quality chicken. They have pride in what they are and for that I will always love them. We can all learn a lot from Chicken Kickers. Take my advice: throw on this euphoric Bonobo remix, take a healthy toke of some good good, dip a kicker in blue cheese, chew and swallow. Then exhale and at that very moment you will see your future in the cloud of smoke. Trust. (David Garber)Vondelpark - Closer (FaltyDL Blueberry remix)
There's a story that Ram Das likes to tell about his time living in India with the great spiritual leader, the Maharaji. It came to pass that one day the Maharaji inquired about the LSD pills that Ram Das and his companion had brought with them from the United States. Ram reluctantly gave the aging spiritual leader one dose of LSD, worried about how it might effect him. The Maharaji then asked for all of them—eight strong doses of pure, high-grade LSD. The great guru felt nothing, proving that true enlightenment is much bigger than simple chemicals. The Maharaji is just that next level. That's sort of how I feel about Falty DL when it comes to production techniques. Next level. (Max Pearl)Lockah - Ayyo Tricknology
Around the one minute mark, this track stops yelling 'Ayo' at you with the frequency of a cracked out dude on skid row trying to sell you synthetic marijuana and tumbles into an upfront space jam, the kind that would drop Zenon: Girl of the 21st century's panties like zero gravity never could. The UK homie Lockah has got his sound down -- It's like Lapalux for people who get laid. (Jemayel Khawaja)Britney Spears - Born 2 Make U Happy ("SOFT GRIME" EDIT)
Remember that time in December '99 when Britney Spears emerged from small town Louisiana to calm our raging Y2K nerves with her insistence on making us happy? Fifteen years later I've found something that makes me happier. Save this soft grime for a nice glass of wine b. (Lauren Schwartzberg)Floating Points - EGL037 King Bromeliad
Floating Points has always intrigued me, his productions and DJ sets are very different but equally great. It seems more and more lately the low slung funk and soul he's known for playing in between heavy stuff has crept into his production, this jam is coming soon on his Eglo imprint and I cannot wait.Green Velvet & Doorly - Money
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ + sex. (Olyvia Salyer)Skrillex - Doompy Poomp
The most surprising thing about Skrillex's surprise album, Recess, is that some tracks--like this one--won't make your ears bleed. In fact, I think I've got one foot on the Skrillex bus. In a sea of copycat, glassy-eyed superstar DJs, at least this guy knows what he wants. (Michelle Ong)MikeQ & DJ Sliink - The Bitch Ft. Miss Jay
VOGUE, BITCH. (Lauren Schwartzberg)Shinichi Osawa - Breaking Through The Night
I lived in Tokyo for a spell as a teen, and there was an impossibly slick record store right next to my place. Japanese people are generally chill as fuck, so I never felt intimidated hanging around and discovering local legends like Shinichi Osawa. Osawa's a master of form, and this track is full of red herrings--you think it'll go one way, but it pivots and sashays in the other direction. (Michelle Ong)Trus'me - Its Slow (Truncates Raw Trax Mix1)
It's Friday ya'll, fuck a trap remix I'll take a cowbell. (Joel Fowler)
