Boston three-piece Horse Jumper of Love have distinguished themselves from other post-Ovlov rock groups with a sincere brand of slowcore that feels less like an arm around the shoulder and more like an extended hand, offering to pick you back up. The band achieve this through dreamlike rather than didactic means; if frontman Dimitri Giannopoulos's presence is like a beacon, his light is like that of a firefly's, dancing in the music's shifting fog.
Song You Need: “Looking At Your Pager” is Four Tet at his most festival-ready
23.05.2022 - 21:31 / thefader.com
Every acclaimed producer of intricate, thought-provoking dance music has a pop side. When Floating Points isn’t devoting his time to getting legendary jazz musicians out of retirement, he’s turning tracks by Thundercat and Headie One into monstrous, humid house bangers; Kelly Lee Owens counters her climate crisis-inspired club music with witty collaborations and inspired covers of tracks like Aaliyah’s “More Than A Woman.” And when Kieran Hebden doesn’t want to be Four Tet, he unlocks KH — a cheeky, sample-flipping alias that he used in 2019 to release “Only Human,” an almighty banger that turned Nelly Furtado’s “Afraid” into a shimmering, festival-conquering dance track.
Now, KH has returned with “Looking at Your Pager” — a song that, like “Only Human”, feels as ready for Coachella’s Sahara Tent as it does the NTS airwaves. Featuring a sample of 3LW’s “Baby I’ma Do Right”, “Looking At Your Pager” is one of the tracks Hebden says he’s fielded the most questions about since he started playing it in DJ sets.
You can understand why: Fast, dirty, and deeply weird, it’s a perfect mix of both sides of his electronic sensibilities. Read Next: Four Tet flips a 3LW sample on new KH tune “Looking At Your Pager” Watch Trevor Jackson’s animated visuals for “Looking at Your Pager” below.

Song You Need: Madonna and Sickick’s “Frozen on Fire” is an undeniable heater
Madonna is an undeniably terrible steward of her own legacy — you can’t really be a groundbreaking pop icon in multiple decades without being something of an anti-nostalgist. The way she’s treated Sickick’s TikTok-viral trap remix of her immortal Ray Of Light-era single “Frozen” is a perfect example of this: Rather than let it simply sit as a strange revival of the original, she gave the remix an official release and added verses by 070 Shake and Fireboy DML, sharing videos for each.
