# Editors’ Choice: June 22, 2013
\[15.07.2021. Content warning: an [*article*][1] published by
J.-H. Kabuiku on July 9th 2021 points out Dominick Fernow's consistent
links with metal and noise artists, bands, labels and productions using
pedophilia and sexual violence imagery, listing a number of regular
collaborators explicitly affiliated with National Socialism and white
power ideology. More on this [*here*][2]*\]*

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][3]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} (Online Editor)**
**Ben Aqua -- "Ass Kicked Later"**
The Austin-based producer---you might have heard his track with Zebra
Katz "Red River"---comes correct with a fresh-sounding club roller using
a Missy Elliot vocal sample as a hook.

Editor)**
**M.I.A. -- "Bring the Noize"**
Look, I'm as confounded by this as you are. After the iconoclastic
mega-pop of "XXXO" and "Bad Girls" nobody really felt like a summer
holiday back to 2006. The bone-clattering staccato production and dodgy
sloganeering is all well and good, and Switch's pawprints are all over
this thing, but I have a feeling it's a red herring. Intriguing.

**[Moritz Gayard][5]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} (Online Duty
Editor)**
**Vessel -- "Court Of Lions" (Prurient Remix)**
Extraordinary rework of Vessel's "Court Of Lions" by Dominick Fernow,
better known as Vatican Shadow and Prurient. Roll it, press play, light
it up. Relax.
**Ashrae Fax -- "Pointbreak"**
Up for some goth/ethereal/synth pop stuff? Then try Ashrae Fax's 2003
album *Static Crash*. You can pre-order the re-release, courtesy of
Mexican Summer, [here][6]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}.

**[Daniel Jones](ectronicbeats.net/author/daniel-jones/){:

**Kanye West -- New Slaves (Brenmar Club Edit)**
Brenmar posted this slick, sick remix of Kanye's politicized
anti-consumerist rant (this is the guy whose clothing line sells $300
t-shirts, remember) over the weekend and turned a growling beast into a
purring kitten of a track. "For my DJs", his Facebook page proclaimed,
and this DJ couldn't be happier.
**V▲LH▲LL -- LIKΣ ▲ NIGHT IN THΣ F0RΣS7 \[✞JOhN D3nVΞR✞ C0V3R\]**
In my wildest dreams of pimping out the idea of witch house around 2009,
I never imagined John Denver covers. Is this even witch anymore? What is
anything, who knows. Just so long as we can finally move past the
'post-genre' term, which is the least sexiest description for music
ever. That said, I kind of dig this. My mom does too.
