Basic Space (Mount Kimbie Remix) - The xx We're all completely over The xx's first album, but this is worth the throwback. Mount Kimbie drags in white smoke, acid bubbles, and deliciously pervasive champagne foam to a seemingly-irreversibly stale track-- let's just call it aural defibrillation.
wen uuu - Shlohmo Subtle in all the best ways, and soothing after all your best lays. Experimental never seemed so comforting. Plus- word has it, Nicolas Jaar is remixing this.
The Ballad (Koreless Remix) - New Look Reminiscent of Strange and Unproductive Thinking, isn't it? Canadian synth pop remixed by a Glaswegian producer creates an intimate mood wherein you, your thoughts, your tryptophan binges, your DMT secretions, and all of Saturn's moon can revel in your much-earned comatose glory.
And I Say ft. Scout LaRue and Will Epstein - Nicolas Jaar Weirdos like me will get overly affected by sexy, yet increasingly eerie vocals and minimalist sounds. Much like Chinese water torture, these vocals will drive you insane; they'll have you waiting for the imminent somethings that seem to never come, whether they be drops of water or unfulfilled lyrics: "And I say..." WHAT!? And you say what, lady!? She never does quite utter it. Can't wait to see Jaar at Coachella. (The track is also called "With Just One Glance.")
Forget (Shlohmo Remix) - Lianne La Havas Poetically negligible moody hooks intercalate the rising UK singer's original, finding their way between the nooks of the crystal lattice that is your central nervous system's synaptic layout. No guitar chords here, just hazy vocals and synths.
Stop Using Logic - Thrupence Sounds like a giant feather weaving between an endless array of chimes. This gem by a Melbourne, Australia-born-and-bred artist makes you forget your left brain and veers you toward the supernatural, the visceral-- the warmth of nothingness. Oh, if you're currently stoned (as you should be), check out the video.
Lost in Tokyo - Koreless Punctuating a strange and tastefully unadorned crescendo with the beckoning chants of succubi, this potential lullaby leaves much to the imagination. If you fall asleep, you're doing it right.
