# Editors’ Choice: November 29th, 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)**
**Dean Blunt and Joanne Robertson -- "Love Me Thru This"**
A new 'track' (fragment, really) following up from the pair's work
together on the former's album *The Redeemer*, in a similar, haunting
vein.
/
**[Louise Brailey][2]{: target="_blank"} (Deputy Online
Editor**{::}**)**
**Friends -- "The Way" (Blood Orange)**
One of the best things about Blood Orange's second album Cupid
Deluxe was the way it employed artist who had superficially claimed
R&B allegiances (hi Friends' Samantha Urbani, Hi Dirty Projectors'
Dave Longstreth) and made them *prove it*. Here Hynes retrofits his
gauzy style to the Friends' cut, turning it into a dry ice-laced duet
between the pair, stripping out the extraneous elements, adding oodles
of chemistry and keeping the ridiculous eighties guitar solos. Cute
couple, too.
/
**[Moritz Gayard][3]{: target="_blank"} (Online Duty Editor)**
**Forest Swords -- "Thor's Stone" (Lee "Scratch" Perry Remix)**
Yeah, when it comes down to the year's end lists---which I'm about to
ignore this year---you can bet to find [Forest Swords][4]' excellent
*Engravings* album near the top. Now there's also this dubby [LSP][5]{:
target="_blank"} rework available, which is a match in heaven.
/
**[Daniel Jones][6]{: target="_blank"} (Contributing Editor)**
Ciley Myrus -- "Brecking Wall" (D.J Detweiler Remix)
Tenderrrr. This is pretty much the only Miley thing you need to bother
with this year, and definitely the best trap remix of 2013.
/
**[Michael Lutz][7]{: target="_blank"} (Print Duty Editor)**
**The Pyramids -- "Amoawa"**
**ZA! -- "Ceaucescu"**
Founded in 1972, The Pyramids got adequately re-discovered during the
last couple of years, thanks to Munich imprint Disko B's efforts of
re-issuing the band's three classic album-length recordings from the
seventies plus a brand new LP titled *Otherworldly*. While I haven't
gone crazy about any of these releases (all lack of atmosphere, in my
opinion), I can recommend their live appearances by all means. If you
happen to be in Berlin on Sunday, go see them together with Barcelona's
manic vocalistas ZA! at Neukölln's [NK][8].
