Perhaps my favorite song of 2017, the song that I feel best encapsulates so much of the energy and tension of this year, has been Bonaventure’s “Mulatre,” a song characterized by R&B samples struggling against an oppressive wall of Baroque choral music while being pummelled by a very intense battery of drums. I was introduced to this artist by the always on-point Discwoman collective, who’ve done a tremendous amount of work to further the representation of women and non-binary electronic musicians this year.
