Okay, it’s not quite new Metronomy, but we had to hook you in somehow. What we have here is a super fun remix of a Metronomy track from 1-800 GIRLS, which sounds like it should start cropping up on the dancefloors around the place, all things being fair. This is a remix of ‘Salted Caramel…

One of our favourite things is a notification on a new release from DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ – from swirling house, to robo-teen drama pop, to an almost Boards of Canada-esque way of creating music that feels both alien and familiar, DJSTTDJ is always worth tuning into. The reference points in the music are…

Channelling German prog,…

Eiko Ishibashi is a Japanese singer-songwriter, and Jim O’Rourke is related to loads of US experimentalists. This pair have collaborated before, and they’re at it again with an improvisational affair which is super pleasing.
