This jangly, lighthearted little ditty might not be the usual kind of tune you’d hear in XLR8R‘s download feed, but we figured that if Stones Throw is willing to take a step away from their usual hip-hop-centric output, we’d come along for the ride. Plus, we’re also into the quasi-Stereolab-meets-“beat scene”-meets-Animal Collective vibes Jonti exudes on “Hornets Nest.” Look for more of this when the producer’s Twirligig record drops on October 18, and check out a cool mixtape of Jonti’s unreleased productions in the meantime, here.
