Playlist: The Weekly What 3•30•14

The Weekly What: Because playlists are nice too.


Here they are, eight tracks to recap the week. It's been a while since I've released an 8tracks playlist, so be on the lookout for a March playlist in the near future. Enjoy!

I. D.C.-based producer Royal has remixed Flight Facilities's 2010 track "Crave You," speeding it up and giving it more of a dance floor feel. Download it for free via SoundCloud below.

II. Australian producer and self-proclaimed GenreKiller Ta-ku is at it again, this time taking on BANKS's fabulous "Brain." Download it for free as well.

III. Dexter Tortoriello, AKA Dawn Golden, has released the first track from his upcoming album Still Life, due out May 13 (preorder it on iTunes here). "All I Want" is distant and poignant, with its slow, pulsating synths slowly picking up speed and adding drums, but never ruining its touching and bare earnestness with too much urgency.

IV. Thanks to the efforts of The Line of Best Fit, Yumi Zouma have released a cover version of Air France's last single before their breakup two years ago, "It Feels Good to Be Around You." Ex-Air France members Joel Karlsson and Henrik Markstedt even recorded some vocals for the new cover. Download the track for free below.

V. TDE's first non-rapping signee, the hypnotically soulful SZA, released "Childs Play" a few days ago. Tender, lazy, and softly soulful, the Chance-featuring track was produced by XXYYXX and Dae One.

VI. Swedish duo Iberia released "Swansea" as a free download a little while ago in anticipation of their debut album. A sweeping combination of celestial choirs and rattling snares make this track a must-listen.

VII. Jensen Sportag brings the funk with "One Lane Lovers," a spacey disco track out on alt-pop label Cascine.

VIII. The derevolutions, the fabulously wacky Bostonian duo, are back with "Now You Know My Name." Complete with tacky synths, lo-fi vocals, infectious whistling, and some hints of "Pascualita," the track is yet another further development of their unique style.
