Diggin’ This: Joy Orbison ft Léa Sen – “Better” (Hinge Finger/XL Recordings)

 

I remember talking with Machinedrum on Dublab radio a while back about the transcendent power over dancefloors worldwide of Joy Orbison‘s early breakout hit, “Hyph Mngo.”

 

 

 

If you’ve heard it, even once, you’ll know.

 

 

The London producer and Hinge Finger label head‘s new track, “Better,” doesn’t have a stop-you-in-your-tracks wall-of-synth moment like “Hyph Mngo,” but it does have plenty of headphones-on-the-bus moments, namely that rain-soaked beat, those fidgety electronics, and that coolly delivered vocal performance from Léa Sen.
