South London dance producer Jam City and Oakland's greatest stoned experimental rap duo ever, Main Attrakionz, both get major forward-thinking points for their collaboration, "The Nite Life." It's a great song—Main Attrakionz' sluggish purple tag-team fits naturally with the crawling, spacey beat—as smoothly executed as the pairing is unexpected. "Nite Life" is a testament to both the inestimable versatility of the artists behind it and to the universal headspace of insomniac creatives everywhere. The track features on Jam City's "The Courts" 12-inch, up for preorder now and out February 27th, as well Jam City's forthcoming debut LP, Classical Curves, out this May. Both releases via Night Slugs.
