Dear Winter, I Hope You Like Your Name

Big week, 21 new tracks on the Better Spins playlist this week. Some highlights:

Scott Nice, The Polish Ambassador – Mother Ship Trip. Sitting alone in my office, I may or may not have busted out a 90 second freestyle on top of this beat. Maybe I’ll lay it down and drop a DJ BSlice track in next weeks playlist…
Lionel Richie – You Are. As salty as I was when Best Buy refused to take back my headphones outside the return period, everything got a little brighter when this track rolled over the washing machines.
Tame Impala – Borderline. You don’t headline Coachella without an ace up your sleeve. My favorite superfan (who stayed up until 3:30am EST for the Livestream) definitely stoked my FOMO:

Carter Reeves – Alone Time. Outside the Seven Kingdoms, Winter is gone and Spring is here. Carter Reeves is getting you ready for that warm weather with this track pulled off Playground Radio.
BTS – Boy With Luv (ft. Halsey). This beat has all the trappings of a feel good pop song until Halsey lays on her vocals to give it her trademark emotional depth.
Calvin Harris, CamelPhat – I’m Not Alone (CamelPhat Remix). Strong deadmau5 vibe. Would never in a million years have pegged this as a Calvin Harris remix.
William Basinski – 4(E+D)4(ER=EPR). If you asked me to explain what falling asleep sounds like, I would play you this track. Fun fact: ER=EPR refers to unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics into a theory of everything.
Mat Zo – Deep Inside. I still can’t believe he’s not playing Second Sky 🙁

NGHTMRE, A$AP Ferg – REDLIGHT. Fresh off the heels of a killer Ultra set alongside Big Gigantic, NGHTMRE is doing big things in our world right now.
Sumthin Sumthin – Gryme. When Louis the Child gives you a “song we think you should be bumpin’ all weekend long,” you pay attention.
Emeralds – Everything is Inverted. More glitchy ambient from @theaaronlevy.
