YO GUYS, you need to listen to this because Pitchfork just dropped their weekly selects and the lineup is absolutely wild! They have TWO tracks from Kim Petras on here — which says EVERYTHING about how much they respect her evolution from Drag Race to synth-pop royalty. She's been one of my favorite follow stories in music over the last few years, and seeing her get double representation is huge. Then there's Skrillex AND SVDDEN DEATH collabbed for their 'XANAX!' EP — you can hear that dirty bass energy through the screen. And horsegiirL dropping '035' means hyperpop still dominates the underground scene in a massive way, and I am here for it!
The rest of the playlist is just as stacked if your taste leans experimental at all. Aphex Acid Sexonus got its own shout-out — another timeless classic that deserves respect — AND Fred Again.. getting featured proves he's firmly cemented himself among the elite electronic producers. Caroline Leontis and The Blessed Megaphone also made it, which shows how deep Pitchfork is looking beyond the main charts this week. Honestly, if you want to understand where music is headed right now, start with these tracks because they cover a insane range of styles in one playlist!
