Jerome LOL Gives Beat Connection's "Hesitation" an Icy Sheen

This could never soundtrack a rave, but that's a good thing.

Jerome LOL, member of DJ Dodger Stadium, boy wonder of the very wondrous boys of the new wave of Los Angeles electronic producers, has lent his divine touch to Beat Connection's "Hesitation," dialing back the lush pan flutes of the Seattle three-piece and giving them an icy sheen and persistent backbeat, teasing out a sense of melancholic drama that hangs like a question unposed. Like the best work from Jerome and the Body High crew he calls his compatriots, there's something both beautiful and sad about this track. It moves in the realm of dance music, but it's hard to imagine a rave this track could turn up—and that's decidedly a good thing.
