Toronto-based producer Loukeman has been pretty lowkey since his last album, 2024’s Sd-2. Over the past couple years he’s worked with A$AP Rocky and PinkPantheress but hasn’t released anything solely his own. Today that changes.

But now, Love herself is here to clarify things: “No Hole reunion.” Damn.

Right now, it appears that Compton club-music traveler Channel Tres is on a mission to pay tribute to all the best clubby R&B tracks of the early ’90s. I sincerely support him in this endeavor.

Now, he’s half of the duo Noble Rot with Holy Fuck’s Graham Walsh, and he makes his own excellent power-pop jams under the name Weird Nightmare.

Imagine that you’re at the pool and someone is playing, like, a Dido song incredibly loud on glitchy, damaged YouTube speakers. You stick your head underwater to avoid the sound, but you can still hear it, and it suddenly sounds all blurry and beautiful. The new Full Body 2 single is kind of like that.…

It’s been about four years since the fired-up, emo-adjacent Albany pop-punkers Prince Daddy & The Hyena released their self-titled album, and now they’re ready to drop another one on us.
