Ok, so it’s largely a week of heavy hitters.

Lana is back – live and direct from Hollyweird. Dizzee is back – begrudgingly returning to his roots and turning in his best work in an age. Tyler is back – if you didn’t hear the leak your karma is intact.

Then there’s Daphni, a FabricLive built entirely from original Dan Snaith productions. We’ve also put some bonkers noise experimentalism in there because variety is the spice of life.

Here’s Five New Releases You Need To Hear This Week. Have a blessed weekend.

01

Lana Del Rey

Lust For Life

Lana’s reached peak Lana. We did it guys. We made it. There’s literally a song on this album called God Bless America – And All The Beautiful Women In It. There’s another one called Beautiful People Beautiful Problems, and that one’s got Stevie Nicks on it. Literally Stevie Nicks. Take one hour and 12 minutes out of your weekend to listen to this major motion picture album. It features some of her best work in recent memory.

02

Dizzee Rascal

Raskit

While it’s not quite the straightforward return-to-grime album people were praying for, Dizzee’s certainly reconnected with something more raw on Raskit. One standout comes in the form of Everything Must Go – a politically-charged sermon with levels of rapid-fire delivery that remind us to accept no substitutes. Definitely worthy of a listen.

03

Daphni

Fabriclive 93

Dan Snaith turns in one of the most anticipated Fabriclive mixes for a while. Composed of entirely new material – 23 new tracks and four new edits to be precise – the mix captures the eclecticism of his marathon DJ sets as well as the bright, colourful hallmarks of his production. Get a copy and have a listen here. Also come and celebrate with us when he headlines Simple Things Festival in October.

04

Tyler, the Creator

Flower Boy

FKA Scum Fuck Flower Boy, Tyler’s fourth studio record is his most introverted and subtle to date. While some tracks fail to steal your attention in the way his earlier, gorier releases did, there’s a delicate glow to Flower Boy which packs more of a charm on every listen. Standout tracks include lead single Who Dat Boy and the lo-fi November.

05

Kai Whiston

Fissure Price

Melding the maniacal patchwork production style of Aphex Twin with the hyper-glossy aesthetic of Danny L Harle, 18-year-old Dorset producer Kai Whiston is serious about being silly. This six-track EP is out today via Big Dada and it’s a suitably wiggy blast of dark noise experimentalism and frenetic cut’n’pasting.
