John Carpenter – Night (Zola Jesus And Dean Hurley Remix)

John Carpenter came to define the sound of cinema for two decades. Any lesser person would have been content with that but Carpenter continues to record and in February 2015 released Lost Themes, a collection of improvised tracks recorded with his son. That excellent album has since been remixed and this version of ‘Night’ is taken from Lost Themes Remixed, which released via Sacred Bones. Discussing the project, Zola Jesus said: ‘The opportunity to lend an interpretation of John Carpenter’s music is beyond surreal and humbling.”

Chairlift – Ch-Ching                                                 

It’s about time. ‘Ch-Ching’ is Chairlift’s first release since 2012’s Something. A lot has happened in the intervening years but Chairlift haven’t forgotten how to craft an excellent track.

CuckooLander – Mother Nature

CuckooLander, fronted by Holly Hardy (Charli XCX), make unquestionably awesome pop music with power vocals and 1980s Prince-esque synths. They’ve recently spent some quality time in the studio with the likes of Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend), and producer Daniel Ledinsky (Tove Lo, TV On The Radio) – so expect many more great things. ‘Mother Nature’ is released on 23 November.

Arrow Benjamin – Look At Me

Arrow Benjamin’s insanely brilliant voice was last heard alongside Beyoncé’s on Naughty Boy’s track ‘Runnin’ (Lose It All)’. His latest solo track is ‘Look At Me’ which Benjamin says “tells the story of how we can depend on love and faith”. For most artists it’s impossible to top a track with Queen Bey but it clearly wasn’t a challenge for Arrow Benjamin.

Pleasure Beach – Dreamer To The Dawn                                                       

There can be no greater compliment than saying that had ‘Dreamer To The Dawn’ been released in 1985 it could have sound tracked that scene in The Breakfast Club where a young Judd Nelson triumphantly walks across the football field and thrusts his fist into the air – a glorious act of celebration and defiance. This is epic pop. Pleasure Beach’s EP is released on 30 October.

Disclosure – Jaded (Jammer Remix)

Boy Better Know’s Jammer has dropped his remix of ‘Jaded’ and it’s a beauty. He’s thrown everything at the track (including adding some sax) and so it sounds like all your favourite songs playing at once. Awesome stuff.

SOPHIE – JUST LIKE WE NEVER SAID GOODBYE

‘JUST LIKE WE NEVER SAID GOODBYE’ is the latest track from SOPHIE who is a producer and well known fan of caps lock. SOPHIE’s debut album PRODUCT will be released on 27 November. If you’ve found SOPHIE’s previous tracks a tad grating this one isn’t going to win you over.
