# Editor’s Choice: March 9th, 2013
Rather than operate as a music *news* source, Electronic Beats operates
as a music *information* source. One of the things about being
incorrigible music geeks is that we need our enablers---we want to share
with you; we want you to know what we're into and to spread the
boundless enthusiasm for new music that bounces off the walls of EBHQ.
Welcome, then, to **Editor's Choice**.
**[Michael Aniser][1] (Online Contributing Editor)**
**DJ Richard -- Nailed to the Floor**
This is probably one of the sickest tracks I've heard this year! I just
can't stop putting that track off again, *tatatatatata*. You should keep
an eye on DJ Richard and his label [White Material][2] where simple
house structures transform into something entirely new---think
[L.I.E.S][3].
**Delroy Edwards -- Drop Dead**
That's what I mean. I think this is the time, I've officially started to
like house again.
**Dasha Rush -- Interception of Arts**
This doesn't really need a comment.

**[Lisa Blanning][4] (Online Editor)**
DJ Q -- "Trust Again" featuring Louise Williams
This single actually dropped last month, but I'm including it now
because I didn't mention it at the time, and I think DJ Q is severely
underrated. Although he came up in bassline, his recent work with more
garage flavor is just the right amount of skippy swing and pop
sweetness.

**[Louise Brailey][5] (Deputy Online Editor)**
**Sega Bodega -- Konerak**
Glaswegian artist Sega Bodega overlays reticent piano across a
percolating and glassy synth motif. What makes this track so splendid is
its incessant build and release (accompanied by illustrative
"whoooooosh" sound). These dynamics, to ears adjusted to the now, recall
the adrenalin bulged, neck-vein-poppin' dance pop filling up the charts.
If this is a good or bad thing depends on what side of the feedback loop
you're on.
**Mount Kimbie -- Made to Stray**
I heard this on Hessle Audio's [Rinse FM][6] show on Thursday. It sounds
a little like Foals---or perhaps more accurately, Friendly
Fires---crushing on Plastikman. Now *there's* a fanfic I'd like to read
(I wouldn't).

**[Daniel Jones][7] (Online Contributing Editor)**

****Zebra Katz **-- Y I Do**
Y? Because we like u! \*ahem\* As with most of the blog-concious web on
Wednesday, I was all over Zebra Katz's new video, projecting it on my
walls, disturbing my neighbors with horrible vogue attempts (forgive me,
Willi Ninja) and making loads of gifs. Fuck an album; Katz needs to
release a DVD.
**Hundebiss 4 Babylon Mixtape**
Hundebiss label boss Simone Trabucchi recently put together this amazing
mixtape for the Italian radio station Babylon packed full of rare,
unreleased and classic cuts from (amongst others) Sewn Leather, Angels
In America, and Stargate. There's even a skit! More mixes need skits.
/
**[Michael Lutz][8] (Magazine Duty Editor)**
**VED -- Spectra**
Did I ever mention my devotion to psyched-out static jamming? Here's
[VED][9], a promising five-member band from Malmö, Sweden, who apply
themselves to a vintage sound design and lull you in like sweet smoke.
The 30+ minute mini-LP *Spectra* is out just now via [Adrian
Recordings][10] on vinyl only, and here's your [chance to grab it][11].
