Plus, hit up electronica from Gaudi ahead of his appearance at this weekend’s Re:Birth Festival in Futtsu, Japan as well as more from the latest album by Laura Marling. And because he’s obsessed, DJRePete delves deeper into the new record by Toro Y Moi for a trippy bloc. Get your weekly dose! It’s DJRePete and your BTR Wednesday!
