Being a lady myself, I can't help but be disproportionately excited when a fellow female is rocking it in the male-dominated electronic music world. I suppose this is not the fairest means of assessment, given that I ought to be judging on the merits of music alone, but as long as it would pass a gender-blind taste test, I'm happy. DJ, producer, and vocalist Kim Ann Foxman, hailing from New York, would definitely pass that test, and her latest single, "Return It / Hypnotic Dance", released October 22 on Needwant...

It's Friday, so it felt like the appropriate time to dole out this sizzling, weekend-friendly remix of Danny Brown from Boston's Amadeezy (the trap/bass alias of house producer Loopus Amadeus, who released an EP on Dubnoir Records earlier this year). Remixed for the Fool's Gold "Sample Anything" competition, the track includes a sample from composer Philip Glass's "Runaway Horses", included on the soundtrack to Mishima. The result is a swirling, sizzurp-soaked take that goes much harder than the original, even...

Having seen support from Mary Anne Hobbs, Skream, and Dark Sky, you can probably trust that Cambridge producer Metrist's 12" Argent EP, the second release by fresh London label Nineteen89 that's been compared to Randomer and Blawan, won't leave you disappointed. The digital cut of the EP...

Freshly minted Oslo-based label Fine Grains Records aim to feature artwork and sounds representative of different emergent scenes from around the world. This goal is well-reflected on their inaugural compilation, Fine Grains Volume 1, that's due out November 1, featuring tracks from the first...
I don't know what happened, but somehow, Friends of Friends' Jerome LOL has managed to turn an annoying track from Rihanna into something that feels... touching? His remix of Rihanna's "Diamonds" pulls out all of the best existing elements of the song, looping the "shine bright like a diamond"...
Self-described afro-beat surrealist Débruit released his full-length From The Horizon on June 4, and its follow-up, From The Horizon Remixed, is due in a few days on October 29 on Civil Music. Débruit is heavily influenced by the music of Benin, Ghana, Niger, Nigeria and beyond and...
