Girl Talk, the electronic producer Greg Gillis, returns with a new EP titled "Don't Come to My House Sharing Your Location" arriving August 14. The project features collaborations with rappers Michael Christmas and Chris Crack, marking the artist's latest work following a quieter period in his catalog.
Gillis built his reputation on dense, maximalist production that layers obscure samples into hyperkinetic beats. His 2010 album "All Day" became a streaming landmark, released free online and praised for its aggressive collage aesthetic. Since then, Girl Talk has maintained a lower profile, though he never fully disappeared from music.
This new EP signals a return to active recording. The inclusion of Michael Christmas and Chris Crack indicates Gillis is moving toward more vocal-heavy material, a departure from his earlier instrumental-focused albums. Christmas, an Atlanta rapper known for his conversational style on projects like "LIVESTRONG," brings accessibility to Girl Talk's typically abstract production. Crack, a Brooklyn-based rapper with sharp wordplay, offers a different sensibility entirely.
The EP's title suggests both humor and perhaps commentary on surveillance culture and digital oversharing. Girl Talk's sample-heavy approach pairs naturally with hip-hop vocals, though the specificity of pairing with these particular artists rather than mainstream rappers points toward a more underground aesthetic.
Release strategy matters here. Pitchfork's announcement positions this as a major moment for a producer who once dominated conversations about the future of music production. Whether this EP reestablishes Girl Talk's cultural footprint or functions as a side project remains to be seen. The August 14 date gives fans and critics time to anticipate what "Don't Come to My House Sharing Your Location" actually sounds like.
