I’m waiting for “Peroxic”—a standout track on Por, the latest release from Ben Bondy’s k2dj project—to drop in the club and watch it emotionally overwhelm everyone who catches fragments of its spoken-word poem without missing a beat dancing to the ambient, trance-y composition it’s backed by. A hypnotic feminine voice, credited as “Stella,” whispers of “rats too big for an eagle to eat” and that a “single lilac, lily, or rose would be enough” with sidechains dripping in AutoTune. It’s a fever dream that feels like plunging into an ice-cold lake and discovering a new world that beckons you to stay below the surface, the frigidity ceasing to matter as nature’s pillow talk takes the body into a new form of being.
