!! OMG Playlist: April 2025 !!

OMG Playlist 4/25

Every month, our music editor ED curates a special selection of newly released music for the OMG Playlist on Spotify (follow us @omgblog).

Every month, we drop a handpicked mix of our favorite new sounds—indie gems, dance-y delights, and everything in between. In a sea of algorithmic chaos, consider this your fresh, human-curated dose of what’s best for you!

Towa Tei, the iconic Japanese producer (yes, from Deee-Lite legend) is back with a new album that’s sleek, futuristic, and effortlessly cool. We’ve got it on repeat. Our favourite track is “Ludlow”!

One of our favorite slow-burns this month: Smerz’s “You Got Time and I Got Money.” It’s soft, dreamy, and sweet without being cheesy—a love song that feels real and a little sunny.

We’re feeling seen by Lexie Liu‘s “Pop Girl”—an upbeat, hyper-glossy banger that hits like your favorite filter… while dragging our entire digital lives. Catchy and existential—you’ve got it!

It doesn’t end there! We have plenty of new tunes for your, including releases from Chase Icon, Crystal Waters, UMRU, Eartheater, Avalon Emerson, Chris Cool, and many, many more.

Check it out after the jump or on Spotify here!

!! OMG, new music: The Hidden Cameras ‘How Do You Love?’ !!

The Hidden Cameras return with an anthemic new single, How do you love?.

Over a pumping bassline, emotional piano chords and melancholic string arrangements (played and arranged by longterm musical partner-in-crime Owen Pallett), Joel Gibb (the mainstay of The Hidden Cameras) hits that sweet spot between euphoria and pain where the soul of disco sits. Collaboration has been in the DNA of The Hidden Cameras since its foundation in 2001. While it used to be instrumentalists and singers, Gibb now counts remixers among his musical comrades-in-arms.

Pet Shop Boys transform “How do you love?” into an electro-house pop single while Boys’ Shorts turn “How do you love?” into an emotional disco banger including bombastic string pads and joyful house pianos. Spanish duo Hidrogenesse transform the song into a melodic house track with scorned robotic overtones. With a new album on the way, The Hidden Cameras are back and this time in the centre of the dancefloor.

Check out the brand new video after the jump and pre-order link for digital single and vinyl here.

!! OMG, quote of the day: White Lotus creator Mike White tells Howard Stern he’s been edging you this whole time !!

“The pacing and the vibe… it definitely gets under their skin. There was complaining about how there’s no plot. That part I find weird. It never did… part of me is just like bro, this is the vibe. I’m world-building. If you don’t want to go to bed with me then get out of my bed. I’m edging you! Enjoy the edging…
