No, this has nothing to do with that USA For Africa charity single or its unfortunate remake. We Are The World is a Los Angeles quartet comprised of a film composer, a choreographer, a designer and a CIA agent turned burlesque dancer (seriously). With their very diverse forces combined, they create madcap electronica and have gained notoriety for visceral, choreographed live performances. The band’s debut album, Clay Stones, is out April 6 via Manimal Vinyl. Here’s the Mix Tape that primary songwriter Robbie Williamson made for MAGNET.

Jonny Greenwood “Proven Lands”
This is definitely a standout track on There Will Be Blood. Stomping through the prairie for five minutes with no dialogue. Video
La La La Human Steps “Human Sex”
Just watch it. Video
Wildbirds & Peacedrums “There Is Know Light”
One of my favorite tracks of the last few years. Minimal, raw and delightful. Video
Fever Ray “If I Had A Heart (Fuck Buttons Remix)”
Fuck Buttons add a hard touch that still makes you feel like you’re going to float away. Video
Alex Kid “Nightshade”
Play this at any dance party and you will find that things will get very, very nice. Video
The Jesus Lizard “Then Comes Dudley”
Heaviest track of the ’90s. Everything about the song is perfect. Video
Trentemoller “African People”
Kind of an unknown Trenemoller track. You find yourself wondering why Trentmoller is not the ruler of the universe, here to take us through galactic walls. Audio
Jimmy Edgar “LBLB Detroit”
Pure R&B sex done so tastefully. Video
Konrad Black “Medusa Smile”
One of the sickest minimal-techno tracks ever made. Video
Damian Lazarus “Moment”
Just a beautiful song that has everything. Lazarus is a master. Video
