GIL SCOTT HERON, JAMIE XX and PJ HARVEY
January 28th, 2011 by admin
The latest JAMIE XX Remix of GIL SCOTT-HERON is an absolute stunner. Got a real simultaneously old skool AND contemporary feel to it, with more than a hint of Chicago House about it. Can’t wait to hear ‘I’ll take Care Of You’ in a dirty wherehouse somewhere. The latest PJ HARVEY track is a bit [...]

DOG IS DEAD, HARRY’S GYM and KIRK SPENCER
January 25th, 2011 by admin
DOG IS DEAD are a band who have attracted the lust of my ear lobes for a long time so me and my ears are delighted to see things start to happen for them. Their new track ‘River Jordan’ is rumoured to feature in the next series of Skins guaranteeing millions of ears get to [...]

TAN LINES, KATERINA GEORGIOU AND BRETON
January 21st, 2011 by admin
TAN LINES are one of those bands I keep meaning to mention but because I have a memory like a sieve I forget. ‘Real Life’ is the track so good it managed to make even me remember, half band, half dance producer, half percussion float at NottingHill Carnival, big track. Its quite rare to find [...]

DILLON FRANCIS, MODESTEP and ELBOW
January 18th, 2011 by admin
There was a time when if a dance floor tune was below 120bpm I wasn’t interested, oh how you have changed that dubstep, reggaeton and Jamie Woon. Latest evangeliser for this newer slower sound to have Bah Mitzvah’d my conversion is DILLON FRANCIS, ‘Master Blaster’ is almost onomatopoeic sounding as big as the name implies. [...]

METRONOMY, SHARKS TOOK THE REST, ED SHEERMAN AND JME
January 14th, 2011 by admin
It’s not on the soothing vibe the January state of your head generally demands but its subtle groove IS respectful of your messed up state. I think the new track from METRONOMY ‘She Wants’ is both super duper and a wee bit menacing, in the most excellent electronic music way. Nothing menacing about SHARKS TOOK [...]

SHARON JONES + THE DAB-KINGS, RAINY BOY SLEEP and JAMES VINCENT MCMOROW
January 11th, 2011 by admin
Happy New Year! Gotta say you’re looking pretty good considering all that raving you’ve been doing, what’s your secret? I’m still feeling rougher than a sandpaper reinforced badger’s arse. But (que cheesy voice) There’s always the sweet sound of New Music to help me recover. Cough. There genuinely is something soothing and almost medicinal about [...]
