A few months ago, when I was first thinking of folks to approach for some Gilah remixes, one of the first people who came to mind was my dear friend, Hessed Porras, who makes amazing music under the artist name, Buena Puente ✨

I first met Hessed wayyyy back in 2017 in Newark, Delaware, and since then, he's has been a constant source of love, light, and creative inspiration ☺️ His music, either under his solo project, Buena Puente, or as part of the trio, Beli, is some of my favorite stuff out there right now. As Buena Puente, he seamlessly melds chillwave with psych-pop and alt hip-hop, while his latest work with Beli explores new realms of psychedelic hyper-pop (It's all sooo good be sure to check em both out on Spotify!!! Links below ;)).

His remix of "Better Young" is mind blowing, to say the least 🤯 A "remix" isn't even really an accurate description as it's so much more... Hessed wrote brand new melodies, wrote and sang new lyrics (both in English and in Spanish!), and p much created a new hybrid of shoegaze and alt hip-hop (#shoe-hop) that just gets me right in the fucking feels, man.

All of this to say, it's an honor to call Hessed a friend, and it's such privilege to be able to work with him on this. I hope you all enjoy his reimagining of "Better Young" as much as I do 💜
