Have you heardBrenmar's"Award"? You shoulda done by now. It's a banger. A hi-hat stuttered, boom-boom-boom, 8-bit booty shaker. Even though the lyrics make me bristle somewhat, if this drops, I'm down. The Chicago born DJ and producer—who played at VICE's 20th anniversary blowout last month—is set to release his EP,Award, on Jan 20 via Fool's Gold, and today he premiered "Hula Hoop." Featuring the instructional sass of Jersey Club queenUNiiQU3panting and pouting out lyrics inspired by girls hula hooping at festivals, this hybrid club, horn-blasted smash-in-waiting sounds suitably massive.To celebrate the imminent release of his EP, plus an international tour, and becasue we're nosey, we made Brenmar answer our dating questionnaire cribbed straight from OkCupid. Thanks Brenmar!
