# Editor’s Choice: April 20th, 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 through our cochleas and
sending broader vibrations throughout our bodies, and by extension our
audio-addled souls. Down with that? Welcome to Editor's Choice.
**[Michael Aniser][1]{: target="_blank"} (Contributing Editor)**
PVT -- "Vertigo" (Hype Williams Snapback Remix)
What's a remix? If you listen to the original PVT track [here][2]{:
target="_blank"} and the Luke Abott remix [here][3]{:
target="_blank"} followed by this kinda uncanny sweet-16 rework, it's
clearly the standout. After all, PVT *is* an experimental rock band, so
what's not to like about some weird fuzzed-out samples on top of a psych
beat. 2014, here we go.
**Baglady -- "4 LOGO"**
This mix is just super fun! It has all the ingredients to make you go
crazy--- samples of gunshots, Eurodance, '90s dance, you name it!
/
**[Lisa Blanning][4] (Online Editor)**
**Roger Robinson -- *Contemplate Mixtape***
Roger is a vocalist best known for his work with The Bug, especially in
King Midas Sound. With this free mixtape (you can download the whole
thing [here][5]{: target="_blank"}), he adds his own vocals over
instrumentals by the likes of Oneohtrix Point Never and Ryuichi Sakamoto
& Alva Noto. As ever, his voice is absolutely haunting.
**Sensate Focus -- "x" (from *2*)**
The new [Sensate Focus][6]{: target="_blank"} 12″ is out (!), which is
exciting news for me, as it's one of my favorite projects---the
dance-oriented work from a primarily experimental electronic artist.
While helmed by Mark Fell, for this edition in his 12-inch series he
enlists the help of his 'bandmate' in SND Mat Steel.
/
**[Louise Brailey][7] (Online **Deputy** Editor)**
**The-Drum -- "Sirens"**
The first track from [the Chicago duo][8]'s debut is less a shot across
the prow than the disquieting swell beneath the deck, a cluster of
organic, hand-drum percussion percussion, aqueous reverb and stray
electrical ferics.
** /**
**[Moritz Gayard][9]{: target="_blank"} (Online Duty Editor)**
**Laurel Halo -- "Throw"**
First new tune from *Behind The Green Door,* [Halo][8]{:
target="_blank"}'s upcoming May release on [Hyperdub][10]{:
target="_blank"}. And if you wanna know why Laurel just moved to Berlin,
check Philip Sherburne's [recent interview][11]{: target="_blank"} in
*Spin*.
**Luke Wyatt -- "Teen Hawk"**
Luke Wyatt (aka Torn Hawk) has already had some mind blowing releases on
[Long Island Electrical Systems][12]. Now he's ready to drop his first
release on [Emotional Response][13] with a collection of even better new
sounds. Some snippets above.
** /**
**[Daniel Jones][14]{: target="_blank"} (Contributing Editor)**
**Pictureplane -- "Pure War"**
Haven't heard much from Travis Egedy since 2011's fantastic Real Is
A Feeling LP, so it was a treat to hear his booming liquid beats
and heartfelt philosopher's voice spin a new world again. While this one
isn't planned (officially, anyway) as a single, it's available on the
soundtrack for the brawler video game *Injustice: Gods Among Us, *which
also looks fairly sick.
**Munguugnum -- "Sounds Of Love (Sluggish Love)"**
Sorry; I'm a bit slow today. *~*{: #__mceDel}
