If I knew how to dress well in middle school, this would have been me at the dance. Which boy would I have been? Well, I would have been both, for two times the ass! If I knew how to dress well, I’d have been on the ladies like Barry White on a ham-scented microphone, with a fat-lipped ice-grill across my face, grindin’ up honeys like Colombian coffee, dig?

But, sadly, I didn’t know how to dress well. That’s because How To Dress Well, specifically How To Dress Well & cokc dokc, is a Koln-via-Brooklyn collaboration that recently came together to coarsely chop up my mid-’90s memories of junior high dances into the dopest, yet eeriest R&B cuts I’ve ever heard. Remember this track? And this one? Hell yeah! But, cut that up like Burial and you’ve got something so cool it burns like dry ice.

“Ready For the World” and “Endless Rain” below
