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.

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.

Although a cause of death has yet to be revealed, tributes to DJ and music manager J. Scott began hitting social media this past weekend, courtesy of friends, collaborators, and hip-hop fans. A$AP Mob’s Twitter confirmed the sad news.

Also known as A$AP Snacks, Scott was part of the New York collective A$AP Mob along with the likes of A$AP Rocky, with whom he regularly preformed. He was also one half of the DJ duo Cozy Boys with A$AP Lou. Scott additionally managed artists—Kilo Kish among them—as an A&R for A$AP Worldwide. 

Artists who paid their respects to Scott included A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ferg, and Vince Staples. See a few of those below.
