# Editor’s Choice 8
What's that? You want to know what's been going in our ears this week,
reverberating our cochleas and sending broader vibrations throughout our
bodies and by extension our audio-addled souls? That's a coincidence:
here's this week's **Editor's Choice**.
***Michael Aniser (Contributing Editor)***
**Moonpool & Dead Band -- Human Fly**
Tagged "Slime-Lab Disco" this track by Detroit's **Moonpool & Dead
Band** just got released on the always amazing **Not Not Fun**. Sounds
like a science-fiction movie gone wrong, forever trapped in the the VHS
bin at an abandoned video rental place. Plus disco.
**Je Suis Le Petit Chevalier -- Following the Mississippi River**
Felicia Atkinson develops sound and dronescapes. 'Following the
Mississippi River' is a psychogeographical journey that resembles
fluidity and sounds kind of like drowning, in a very slow and peaceful
sort of way.
*****Daniel Jones ( Editor)*****
**Fat Trel feat. Chief Keef -- Fukkk Da Feds (prod. by Lex Luger)**
Love that classic Luger sound, and you can download it too. I have a
song idea for **Chief Keef** he can't afford to pass up. It's about
weed.
**Holy Other -- Held**
Been on this for a minute already, cool press guy got the previews
flowing but when it comes to the new **Holy Other** LP my motto is
'never enough'.
**Walter W. Wacht (***Community Manager / Editor)*****
**Kalipo -- Bierchucks**
I can't tell why I have is this love-hate relationship music-wise, but
I'm usually pretty ho-hum about **Audiolith Records**' releases. But
this time it's different: the new single of **Kalipo** (the side-project
of **Frittenbude**'s Jakob Häglsperger) is working just fine for me.
'Bierchucks' comes with a very subtle bassline, a kind of balearic feel
and some generic vocal hook. Far from being revolutionary, but still.
**JJ DOOM -- Winter Blues (Live at BBC Radio 4's 'Loose Ends')**
Can't have enough of **MF DOOM**. The L.A. based rapper might well be
one of the best in the game, and his new joint project **JJ DOOM**
with Jneiro Jarel (and their album *[Key to the Kuffs][1]*) is just
another paragon of the masked rapper's potential for steady reinvention.
For this column I had to pick a single track, but I strongly recommend
listening to the full JJ DOOM album.
*****Louise Bailey (Contributing Editor)*****
**Gang Colours -- Fill Me In**
This doleful cover of **Craig David**'s 'Fill Me In' sees slurs of
treated piano replace the cheap champagne fizz of the original.
**Hit-Boy -- Busta Ass N\*ggas**
The producer responsible for 'N\*gga's In Paris' stepped up with a solo
mixtape *HITstory* this month. This cut features **Bun B** and Chip Tha
Ripper clashing shoulders with plunges of hoover synth.
*****Moritz Gayard (Online Duty Editor)*****
**Mdou Moctar -- Ana**
Last year [we told you][2] how amazing *Music for Saharan Cellphones*
is. Now it's time for *Music For Saharan Cellphones Vol.2*, which
they're trying to Kickstart. Support [here][3].
Dam Mantle -- Canterbury Pt.1
**Dam Mantle** is getting ready for dropping his debut album Brothers
Fowl on October 7. Here's the phenomenal first single 'Canterbury Pt.
1'.
