Tune of the month
Hood Joplin 'My Chain B' (Owake Records)
Edmonton, Alberta-based artist Hood Joplin is known as much for her fast-paced DJ sets as her commitment to the game. Her first release ‘#75FFA1’, a meditative collection of icy-toned beats, came out in 2016 – and now we finally have the her new album ‘Hazard’. It brings a mix of off-kilter, footwork-inspired bangers the whole way through, but ‘My Chain B’ is the standout – cosy and invigorating all at once, like stepping out of a sweaty club into a cool breeze.
