Why do we like this?

I'm more or less at a loss for words right now as I sit here looping "Bad Dreams" from LA artist Alec King and Swedish producer Danrell. I know I like the track, but I can't quite put my finger on why.

Is it the carefree nature of Danrell's sun-soaked beat? Is it Alec King's deceptively skilled ability to slip between pop and hip-hop aesthetics? Is it Geoff Owens's short, but oh-so-sweet guitar solo? It's probably some combination of all three, and how the tune, found on King and Danrell's recently released Morphine EP, feels greater than the sum of its silky smooth parts.

By Jason Grishkoff on May 11, 2015 | I gotta be honest: I wasn't expecting a track like this from Jamie xx. And I'm still not sure what to think... Certainly the introduction of auto-tuned hip-hop is a new one for the cutting-edge house DJ, but perhaps that's what makes him so cutting ... read more →
