Annie, “Invisible”: Helmed by longtime producer Richard X, Annie’s “Invisible,” from her A&R EP (which includes a track titled “Ralph Macchio”), is one of her most immediate singles in years, with a Lyn Collins-inspired loop that will instantly teleport you back to 1991.

dBridge, “Death of a Drum Machine”: In case you haven’t figured it out yet, the ’90s are back, and drum n’ bass pioneer Darren White has a new EP, Move Way, out August 12. “Death of a Drum Machine” is a chill slice of jungle that employs bits of Malcolm X’s oft-sampled “Message to the Grass Roots” speech.

LIZ & Ryan Hemsworth, “Day n’ Nite”: If the Nelly Furtado-meets-Destiny’s Child “Day n’ Nite,” a collaboration between singer LIZ and Canadian producer Ryan Hemsworth, is any indication, the late ’90s are also ripe for the pillaging.
