This week, RAC finally released his long awaited first EP, Don’t Talk To. The 4-track compilation includes the previously released “Let Go” (featuring Kele and MNDR) and “Hollywood” (featuring Penguin Prison), as well as 2 new tracks, the first of which features Tokyo Police Club (who RAC have remixed numerous times before) and a second which features Katie Herzig. As expected, they’re both incredible and you can hear them below, or buy the EP here.

Bonus: Hear are the videos for the first 2 singles in case you missed them.

Sub Focus + Kele Okereke | “Turn It Around” Video.

Kele Okereke has been making some pretty impressive guest appearances lately, which in my opinion have been a lot stronger than Bloc Party’s last album and his solo album which should probably remain forgotten. After his feature on RAC’s “Let Go” last month my faith in him was renewed and this next song with Sub Focus is an impressive follow-up to it, and comes with a captivating video set in Japan. I never thought Kele would sound this good in a DnB-inspired song, but somehow it all works.

Bonus: Sir Sly just released an amazing remix of “Let Go”.

RAC + Kele + MNDR | “Let Go”.

RAC, best known for their incredibly popular remixes, promised us an actual album a few years back, and have since only released one single, until now, that is. “Let Go” just dropped and features MNDR and Kele from Bloc Party doing the most interesting thing he’s done since 2008, and it’s all really unsurprising because over the years RAC has managed to have fewer misses than are even worth mentioning. I’ve been waiting pretty patiently for this album, and I think it’s about time he delivered.

If you live in Cape Town you probably spent your Saturday gay-ing it up at this country’s biggest (and best) party – MCQP. It’s been 2 days and I’m still finding glitter in the oddest places, which is doing nothing but constantly remind me that I’m going to have to wait another whole year before we can do it all over again. And if you’re looking for some pro-homo nostalgia I’ve got just the thing for you!

The first is the video for MNDR’s, “Feed Me Diamonds” which features Raven, from RuPaul’s Drag Race, getting into costume.

And here’s the video for “Psy-Chic” by SSION, who has also directed videos for the likes of Santigold, Peaches and Gossip. This video is incredibly cracked up – you’ve been warned.

MNDR first broke onto the scene by featuring in Mark Ronson’s 2010 hit, “Bang Bang Bang”. “Feed Me Diamonds” is the title track of her forthcoming album. Listen to it below.
