# Editors’ Choice: November 8th, 2013
Rather than operate as a music *news* source, Electronic Beats operates
as a music *information* source. We want to share with you; we want you
to know what we're hearing, what's reverberating our cochleas and
sending broader vibrations throughout our bodies, and by extension our
audio-addled souls. Down with that? Welcome to Editors' Choice.
**[Lisa Blanning][1]{: target="_blank"} (Online Editor)**
**James Ferraro & Triad God -- "Swarovski"**
This new track from one of the underground's most intriguing figures
with a relative newcomer (but Hippos in Tanks associate) is a mix of
metallophone futurism, Auto-Tune croon, overseas otherness, and a
healthy dose of what the fuck. Fantastic.
/
**[Louise Brailey][2]{: target="_blank"} (Deputy Online
Editor**{::}**)**
**Visuals -- "Slow Down"**
I don't know about you but I *like* the idea that Nicolas Jaar is using
his label to champion music that sounds like The Bravery went on a
Kompakt binge. It's produced by Darkside so it's got cool cachet too.
Ace!

Funkineven NTS Apron Show
Every last Wednesday from nine to ten p.m. [Funkineven][4] presents his
always inspiring Apron Show on the UK radio station NTS. This month he
delivered an epic mix, teasing his 12-inch return to Eglo Records which
drops the end of this month.
/
**[Daniel Jones][5]{: target="_blank"} (Contributing Editor)**
**Ballet School -- "Crush"**
Berlin-via-Belfast beauties Ballet School always tug at my corroded
heartstrings in a way that only bittersweet, shoegaze-tinged pop music
can. With the November skies set to 'gray drizzle', it seems the perfect
time for it. Their new EP *Boys Again* is one of the loveliest releases
of the season, and this single comes with an accompanying [video on
Noisey][6]{: target="_blank"} that should leave you swooning even harder
than you were before to Rosalind Blair's voice.
**xorzyzt -- Thanatopsis Ecstasis**
My black magick brother Brandon Rosenbluth did this excellently dark mix
for [Psychic Mule][7]{: target="_blank"} in July, but I'm feeling it
more now. Heavy names like Locrian, Tim Hecker, Sunn O))), Coil, Wolves
In The Throne Room and Roly Porter abound here, so light a candle or two
to keep the dark at bay.
/
**[A.J. Samuels][8]{: target="_blank"} (Senior Print Editor)**
STL -- At Disconnected Moments
Stefan Laubner, aka STL, kicks off his upcoming LP with a Scuba dub
built around the sounds of someone blowing lines off his laptop. Or is
it a synth? Out January 2014 on Smallville.
