Here’s Mikky Ekko‘s Benny Blanco + John Hill-produced new single/anthem, which serves as the first official follow-up to his Clams Casino-produced “Pull Me Down” (although he’s also mixed in a pretty notable collab and subsequent Grammy performance with Rihanna and a moving, self-produced “ruff demo” as well). The immaculate, rousing “Kids” is out August 13; catch Ekko next month supporting the great Jessie Ware on a handful of dates in the UK.
Taken from Julianna Barwick‘s gorgeous Nepenthe, out August 20 on Dead Oceans.
To celebrate the vinyl reissue of Digable Planets‘ incendiary, ahead-of-its-time classic Blowout Comb, we’re extremely honored to hand over the keys to one of our favorite artists of all time, DPs (and now Shabazz Palaces) visionary Ishmael Butler. Tune in all day for some of the classics that influenced / inspired / informed Butler and the group during the Blowout era, and stay up on all of Ish’s posts right here.
