You’ve likely already heard Machinedrum’s ‘SXLND’, as the backing for new Universal signing Azealia Banks’ ‘NEEDSUMLUV’. LuckyMe released the instrumental yesterday (check the immaculate cut-out packaging above), and it loses none of its potency as an instrumental, with silver staccato synths tucked in behind rapturous vocals chopped down to individual breaths; think a more hip-hop indebted Todd Edwards and you’re really not far off. And the breakdown in the middle where the sub-bass fills up all the blank space? Stunning.
