Little Dragon maintains the lead with their ebulliently funky single “Slugs of Love,” and SBTRKT zooms up the chart to claim second place for his forthcoming LP The Rat Road. All the while, French Touch maestro Alan Braxe cracks the top 10 at last with the 2023 edition of his singles collection, The Upper Cuts

New and notable: Israeli DJ/producer Moscoman teases his wildly psychedelic new EP, Rob The Plants. Plus, a sonic sampling of Space Heavy, King Krule’s first new album since 2020’s Man Alive!, and jazz-hop supergroup Dinner Party (Robert Glasper, Kamasi Washington, Terrace Martin, 9th Wonder) casually drop their latest masterpiece, Enigmatic Society.
