SOPHIE - BIPP

SOPHIE is yet again another mysterious dance music producer
from London. This euphoric joint is the side A cut from
 his/her 12" out on Numbers.

The best thing about it is how it is so-90's-rave yet so futuristic
at the same time.

It'll make you feel better.

Ghostpoet - Meltdown (Squarepusher Remix)

British singer/producer Ghostpoet has made a steady home in melancholia
ever since his 2011 debut. For his upcoming sophomore album
'Some Say I So I Say Light' out May 6th via Brownswood Recordings,
he definitely has not changed his address. And with this massive remix
by electronic whiz Squarepusher, there is no need.

Squarepusher replaces the original's off-kilter drums, piano and strings with
a soothing contemplative rhodes melody, buzzing bass, drum n bass percussion
and sparkly synths. Vocalist  Woodpecker Wooliams nails the hook with
her spectral delivery.

All in all Squarepusher's take is way more epic and ominous.
And good for it.

Twigs - EP (Stream)

The Weeknd presented the world with a mysterious male R&B lothario. 

But girls wanna have fun too (very necessary Cyndi Lauper reference, not?). 

Enter Twigs coming out of the UK.

But they only share an aura of mystery. Twigs is not as depraved -  more of a seductive

strange bird cooing in the night. There's a hint of something askew but its not clear what.

Yet that is the source of the allure.

Much like the previously released sleeper hit 'Ache', the EP's instrumentation is heavy on mood, 

full of ambient touches, frequently erring on the side of minimalism.

Aching for some more music from this one.
