October's Hallucinogen EP on Warp saw LA-based artist Kelela significantly expanding her audience following her debut mixtape, Cut 4 Me, released two years before. It featured production from the likes of Kingdom, Arca, Ma Nguzu, and DJ Dahi; contained beloved singles like "Rewind" (number 36 on our Best Tracks of 2015) and "A Message"; and was released to significant critical acclaim.

This morning, she announced a follow-up Hallucinogen remixes EP due for release on Christmas day, sharing in advance a remix of the DJ Dahi-produced cut "All The Way Down" by grime artist Kahn (known best for collaborations with Neek). Ditching the spiraling synth arpeggios of the original for something a bit more angular and sinister, it's topped off by an inspired verse from NON Records-affiliate GAIKA, which really makes us want to go listen to his recent Machine mixtape.
