Asian Dub Foundation & Iggy Pop – No Fun (ADF30 Rework)

Asian Dub Foundation are known for their eclectic, genre-bending brand of electronic music combining everything from dancehall to raga, and are no strangers to the gritty, guitar-driven aesthetics of punk rock. That said, a collaboration with the Godfather of Punk himself definitely dials that influence up to an entirely different level.

Duke Ellington – El Gato

"El Gato", and Copenhagen 1958 as a whole, not only serve as a time capsule for Ellington's unparalleled artistry and his orchestra's matchless stagecraft, but also as a reminder of the Duke's enduring legacy.

Oftentimes in the band's press it seems that former characteristic of their music eclipses the latter in recognition, but "Tailwhip" is proof positive that their sense for for crafting an infectious rhythm is just as keen as their knack for generating the spacious atmospheres those rhythms occupy.

Childish Gambino – Atavista

The song “Atavista” sees Glover return to peak R&B form. Soulful and impeccably groovy in the vein of earlier hits like “Redbone,” and touched with added flair from some trendy retro-futuristic synthesizer pulsations, it feels something like a mission statement for the album at large.
