Friday Dance Music Guide: The Week’s Best New Tracks From Isoknock, The Blessed Madonna & DJ E-Clyps, Caribou & More
The best dance songs of the week from Isoknock, The Blessed Madonna and DJ E-Clyps, Jamie xx, Caribou, Carlita and SG Lewis, Nicole Moudaber and Armin van Buuren.
This week in dance music: We spoke with members of the U.S. breakdancing team ahead of the summer Olympics, we caught up with Empire of the Sun in the wake of their new album, we tracked Charli XCX from her Boiler Room set in Ibiza to the wildly successful ticket sales for her upcoming Sweat tour with Troye Sivan to her panties-forward edit of “Guess” with Billie Eilish. The film comes in tandem with the eight-track album, which blends trap, bass and a lot of wild sounds into a hard, loose, very fresh-sounding 27-minute thrill ride that features the previously released RL Grime collab “Smack Talk.” Caribou takes a sample from M|A|R|R|S’ 1987 all-time jock jam “Pump Up The Volume” and places it within a deep house, near-ambient-at-times production that ramps up with such subtlety that by the end you might be surprised to find yourself dancing with your eyes closed.
