While thousands of fans make the pilgrimage to Las Vegas this weekend for three days of relentless bass, here I sit searching for the antithesis of abusive EDM. I don't want something completely chilled, but I'm not looking for an all-out banger either. Luckily for me, my indecision is met with LoveJoy's flip of "Thief" by Ookay.
Equally energetic and minimal, producer Spencer Clayton uses wavering veils of chords, robotic layered vocals, and wailing saxophones to provide me with a much needed antidote to 4-on-the-floor and bass-in-yo-face.
As if that sexy sax isn't enough to please you, he's giving "Thief" away as a free download. Whether you're headed to Vegas or surrendering to FOMO, be sure to give this a spin. Keep an eye out for more music from LoveJoy in the near future as well, there are rumors of original music coming soon.
