The Editors' New Groove: Vol VII

Britney's country-EDM is the new "Cotton-Eyed Joe," sexy Christmas songs for house heads, and other new music you can't miss.
THUMP Staff

The Editors' New Groove is a weekly pow-wow on the freshest new releases on THUMP's editors and regular contributors' radars.


Max Pearl: You know what pisses me off? Tasteless throwback—poseurs making shoddy, soulless facsimiles of 1993 Chicago house classics. You know what doesn't piss me off at all? Kallisti's fantastic new album, Arc of Fire, and its clever take on dusty old hardcore rave and jungle records. Good job dude.

Lina Abascal:

This song is everything to me. When I listen to it, I imagine holding hands while confetti falls over me and I drift deep into my romantic rave couple fantasy. Britney challenges the country EDM slaps of Avicii's "Wake Me Up" in this v srs love song-turned-boot-kickin' turn-up jam. 2013's take on "Cotton-Eyed Joe" and there's nothing to be ashamed of.

David Garber: This new track by the Bondax boys shares a couple similarities to to an expertly crafted blunt. It burns reaaal slow, and it puts me in such a state of hypnosis that I actually walked into a metal pole last night. Yes, my head hurts.

Joel Fowler: If you hate bobbing and dislike fun you should avoid playing this at all costs. Mom better give the glowsticks back because DC's Beautiful Swimmers drenched this thang in breaky sweaty goodness coming out on LIES unsuitably titled Music For Shut-Ins.

Lina Abascal:

Turn down for this. Chill out master Jerome LOL puts his Body High spin on Bjork's serene Iceland vibes with this remix, which I am vibing to at work right now. The ability to have a drop while allowing me to still focus on a Powerpoint presentation deserves applause.

Max Pearl:

Absolutely

massive

chune innit fam? I'm practicing my cool London slang so I can impress our new friends over at THUMP UK, who gave away this jammy yesterday. How am I doing, guys?


Michelle Lhooq: Ferry Corsten is probably the only SUPER DUPER FAMOUS DJ who I don't want to roast on a spit. Maybe it's because his trancey hits—at their best—carry an immense emotional payoff that doesn't feel manipulative. Or maybe it's just cause he popped a bottle of champagne during our interview. Either way, this is classic Corsten: sprightly and ethereal, like breakdancing with angels or something.

David Garber: If you're into expertly crafted, melodic and all-around delicious dubstep then I highly recommend you pick up the Groove Booty Vol.II compilation from the Chord Marauders, which consists of Geode, Congi, B9 and Jafu. This lovely cut, aptly titled "She," will make you want to slip into a sexy velvet trench coat. Wait a goddamn second! I thought dubstep was supposed to make your head explode?

Joel Fowler:

This is not a song, but does it still count as a groove? Paul Johnson fresh off our THUMP launch has done a birthday mix for someone named Julius TmT, complete with artwork of a disco ball turkey. GOBBLE.

Michelle Lhooq:

I'm picking Paul Johnson too, if only because in terms of sexy Christmas songs, this is so much better than Mariah.
