Friday Dance Music Guide: The Week’s Best New Tracks From Channel Tres, LP Giobbi, Tycho & More


Simply the best new dance songs of the week from Channel Tres, LP Giobbi, RL Grime with IsoXo and Knock2, Tycho and Folamour.

Deftly folding in influences from gospel (“Joyful Noise”) to funk (“Candy Paint”) to industrial (“Berghain”), the 17-track album feels like Channel Tres throughout, and features a cool kid assemblage of collaborators including Toro y Moi, Ty Dolla $ign, Estelle, Ravyn Lenae, Thundercat, Teezo Touchdown and Barney Bones. “Bittersweet” is the first taste of Giobbi’s just-announced second album Dotr, coming this October via Ninja Tune, and written through (and about) the waves of grief the producer experienced after the loss of her mother in law, her longtime piano teacher and a close family friend. Together, the three SoCal-based artists raise an army of sound, with hip-hop influences, a church choir, air horns and straightforward headbanding drops altogether taking shape into the heavy, cinematic style that’s generating so much excitement around IsoXo and Knock2, and which has defined much of Grimes’ catalog.
