Jun 24, 2023

Welcome to the order of the Blessed Madonna where your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to rave. Hard. Tbh though, with these show stopping vocals from Gabriels’ Jacob Lusk — not dancing to TBM’s new gospel-house cut “Mercy” is not an option.

Plus, trippy dance-pop mainstays Polo & Pan have teamed with the even trippier Red Axes for the brand new single “Mumia.” We’re cueing up the Red Axes remix of this epic collab to send you hurtling straight into the cosmos. AND, hear what we think might just be the best song of 2023 off of Brontez Purnell’s exquisitely titled LP, No Jack Swing.
