Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith & Joe Goddard, Neptunes

Each track on the electronic composer and Hot Chip leader’s debut EP together has a unique rhythmic texture, with the constant theme being a wall of bass that transports you to a celestial space.

New Order, Brotherhood [Definitive Edition]

With one side dedicated to icy compu-disco and the other tied to the band’s beyond-punk origin story, this expanded reissue brings new order to the 1986 curio with live recordings, remixes, and more.

Father John Misty, Mahashmashana

Josh Tillman focuses his lens on death on his darkly comedic sixth album as eclectic instrumentation continues to buttress his folky chamber pop beyond ’70s pastiche.

After winning us over with the announcement of its new Internet radio station Beats 1, Apple Music has sweetened the deal by giving the Run the Jewels duo Killer Mike and El-P their own radio show.

WRTJ—which airs every Friday at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT—will follow the pair on the remaining dates of their world tour behind RTJ2. Get a preview of the duo’s comedic antics below via Instagram, wherein they discuss their preferred fantasy pets.

Chances are we’ll probably be treated to some more snippets of Meow the Jewels material in the near future thanks to this new radio program.
