Saint Ripley & PHNX.WAV – “90 Mile (Remix)”

The “90 Mile” remix features a brand new verse from PHNX.WAV — pronounced “Phoenix dot wave” — and Raven Arcane on the hook. Firstly, I stan a D&D reference in a name. Hats off to you, Raven. Secondly, this Cuban inspired jam is THE JAM! I’m so excited to keep tabs on what Saint Ripley does going forward.

Coolout Chris & SamIam The MC – “In the Park”

I’ve been a fan of SamIam since I first saw him at the 2010 Miss Wicker Park pageant (which I won, btw). His battle rhymes are among the best I’ve ever heard. Coolout Chris has provided the absolute perfect vehicle for his word-smithing, and I hope this is a partnership that lasts a loooong time.

Jhm – “Santorini”

This is a lovely song. It just is. Jhm pays tribute to her parents’ long-lasting marriage, and you know we love love around here. If Jhm’s folks are as nice as this song sounds, remind me to invite them to a dinner party or something.

Adam Martinez & Abel – “Peligrosa”

Aaaarrgh! I kick myself daily for not sticking with Spanish after high school. I know enough to know that “Peligrosa” means “Dangerous.” That stuck so I didn’t die. But, this song is such a bop that that’s all I need to know to enjoy it.

Bri Feel – “Right”

A bedroom needs a few things to be the kind of place where good lovin’ happens: mood lighting, a soft breeze, maybe those gauzy curtains dudes were singing through in the 90s — and, as it turns out, this song by Bri Feel.
