Ayshay - WARN U / WARN U Nguzunguzu Megamix

These days, just having a release on Tri-Angle is cause for buzz. Their newest release, a single from New York (via Kuwait) artist Ayshay somehow hasn't received the buzz of its peers. Maybe I just dropped the ball on this one, but even though these songs have been out since July I'm just now hearing them.

Warn U, comprised entirely of Asyshay's ("whatever" in Arabic) layered vocals, will rip any preconceived notion that songs should convey specific feelings to shreds. The end result is pulsing, foreboding, and somber yet somehow comforting. While I'd say I have a larger background knowledge on Islamic culture than the average america, not knowing whether or not what I'm listening to would offend many of my friends only adds to the song's inherent tension.

Also including on the single is the Nguzunguzu remix, which almost effortlessly turns the single into a post-dubstep banger. Any sense of calm is stripped away, leaving one of the scariest dance songs I've ever heard, and I can't stop listening to it.

Stream: Clams Casino - Rainforest EP

The maybe sort of Witch House/Based producer Clams Casino follows up his excellent Instrumentals EP with the Rainforest EP. Clam's sound hasn't changed much, but the decision to leave the songs unattached to rappers along with the release on Tri-angle signal that Clams may be starting to consider himself in the genres he's already being lumped into by others. Of course, none this affects the actual music, which you should listen to below.
