Having possibly been one of our favorite tracks from 2011’s Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, we’re happy to see “Wait” finally get the signature cosmic treatment from M83. Directed by Fleur & Manu, this latest music video is the third and final installment to the French musician’s trilogy, following behind “Midnight City” and “Reunion”. Watch the apocalyptic visuals above.
Leave it to Berlin-based producer Theatre of Delays to put a dramatic, chillwave spin on a track as light and melodious as pianist Chilly Gonzales’ “Othello”. While the Grammy-nominated musician’s original Solo Piano II single could best be described as instrumental at its finest, this Theatre of Delays remix adds a heavier, more uptempo element we didn’t even realize was missing. Check it out.

Though few people are aware of his true identity, Paul Insect has quickly become a one of the art world’s most sought-after figures over the past few years. Having made a huge splash back in 2007 when Damien Hirst bestowed his proverbial stamp of approval by purchasing the artist’s entire collection and counting himself as one of the few to be within Banksy’s trusted inner circle, Paul Insect just recently unveiled Out of Chaos, his very first solo exhibition in New York City. We met up with the elusive artist just before the opening to talk more about the show, his mysterious veil of anonymity, and the evolution of street art.

What better way to end the work week than listening to a Danny Brown remix?
