If this club-ready foray into bass and pop is anything to go by, Manchester-based producer BFTT’s upcoming album ‘Redefines’ will be seeping into club sets all summer long. Bursting drum sequences wrap elegantly around a central sample from The Cardigan’s ‘Lovefool’, flitting between experimental bleeps and bloops and shiny synths, ‘Rezalamass’ grows steadily from fractured pitches to an all-out, hearty crowd pleaser. An exciting combination of forward-thinking broken beats and euphoric floorfiller.

Arca herself has described the track as a “sensual embodiment of self” — a delicate track that reminds us all of her massive range as an artist.

The hard dance to teen pop pivot we never knew we needed.
