Gilbere Forte' will be dropping off his anticipated PRAY project on Wednesday 5/15.. Today, we have come across yet another release from the work, with "Anigma." The haunting audio utilizes a sample of Santigold, which Gilbere flips quite nicely.

This title track was featured on BBC Radio 1 on #R1Review and serves as an indicator of what this up-and-coming songstress from Zagreb, Croatia has in store for us. Take a listen.

The remix finds the powerful lyrics on the heavy nature of street hustle by the late and great emcee over a clever piano chord arrangement backed up with club-friendly bass. Definitely something that you need to consider for your next playlist update.

The DFA duo are currently prepping their new album Dynamics and unveil the music video for "Dumb Disco Ideas," directed by Ben Fries and filmed on a New York City rooftop. Check out their tour dates below:
