The Editors' New Groove is a weekly pow-wow on the freshest new releases from THUMP's editors and regular contributors' radars.DJ Rashad - "Somethin 'Bout the Things You Do"
If any of my friends called my cellphone baked as hell like, "Dude I just flipped a Chaka Khan song from 1984 into a bangin' juke beat," I'd tell them to drink a cup of coffee and snap out of it. But DJ Rashad—well, he did it. And he did it well. (Max Pearl)Percussions - "KHLHI (TEXTO29A)"
I have a habit of listening to music on the subway and getting so immersed in the beats that I end up missing my stop. This new soulful garage heater from Keiran has in fact made me miss two subway stops in addition to almost getting clipped by a Dominos delivery bike. (David Garber)Iggy Azalea Feat. Charli XCX - "Fancy"
Australia's fiercest barbie doll has a new album out—the snarling attitude and pop hookery of the freshest cut "Fancy" reminds me of Gwen Stefani during her golden days. Here's to Iggy whipping all the other Azaleas out of the ring with her golden ponytail. (Michelle Lhooq)VesperTown - "Fancy"
I don't fuck with people who fuck with R. Kelly. Period. But I'm going to let the Kelz sample in this song slide because it's only a two-second clip and because everything else about it is fantastic. (Max Pearl)Lafawndah - "Butter"
Sexy island pop for steampunks. (Lauren Schwartzberg)Hecanjog - "Pulsar Beat Sketch"
RIP Kater Holzig. (Elissa stolman)Dark Science - "Rust"
One of the reason I love Joris is that he does this cool clapping thing with his hands when he DJs that has become a trademark of sorts during his sets. The other reason is tracks like this one, which has a bassline that is causing me serious neck pain. (David Garber)Ron Morelli "Island Bore" (Hospital)This is the sound of your mind two hours into an ayahuasca ritual. You're sweating on the canvas floor of a tent in Papua New Guinea. The darkest things you've ever seen are flashing before your eyes. You don't know if you're going to make it because this shit is CRUSHING YOUR EGO INTO A FINE POWDER OF OBLIVION. (Elissa Stolman)Taraval - "Gar's Highway"
There's this really sexy feline growl that claws through the mix in between this techno track's driving, dancefloor-ready grooves. Tiger techno, anyone? (Michelle Lhooq)Little Dragon - "Let Go"
If I didn't get paid to write about music I would probably go become a Little Dragon groupie. Luckily instead I can get paid to write about Little Dragon. Win win. (David Garber)DJ Mumu - "Happy Birthday Remix"
Today is my birthday. Here's a funny remix of the birthday song. LOL. (Lauren Schwartzberg)Sexless Japanese Group - "Ham Sandwich"
This group is called Sexless Japanese Group and the song is called "Ham Sandwich." What else do you want from me?Dat Oven - "Icy Lake (DJ Rashad & NA Remix)""Hey, Max.""Yes, Joel?""Wait, I can barely hear you. It sounds like something's wrong with your phone.""Hello? I just wanted to—"Click.(Joel and Max)
