Happyghost: Ishy Really Bad

Chicago is unforgiving but records like this remind us that this winter won’t last forever. With the warming embrace of contemporary deep house wrapped around a glitchy, tech-addled core, Happyghost’s “Ishy Really Bad” is the 30th release and the best track we’ve heard from Chicago neighbors Aathee. Five remixes from other friends and family of the label, with Hopscotch’s dubby “Far From Home Rework” and the Follidh Haptics remix (which has all of the drama of a war between small nations) standing out the most.
