As a long-standing figure of the U.K. electronic music world, Howie B, has worked with Bjork, Tricky, U2, Brian Eno, Sinead O’Connor and Goldie, among others. Now he’s teamed up with five-piece Italian favorite, Casino Royale. “Plastico Mistico” is off of Not in the Face, Howie B’s re-imagining of the band’s 2006 release, Reale. In the song’s intro, demented descending notes repeat, giving way to quirky glimpses of accented screech guitar on top of a simple bass line and a hollowed-out snare. A lonely sax breathes in unexpectedly over the stark percussion backbone of this rolling funky layered dub melody. Lulu McAllister
