QUAKERS, BRETON plus SASKILLA
February 18th, 2012 by admin
HUGE. MAHOOSIVE. GARGANTUAN. These are the kind words that still fall short in describing how massive ‘Fitta Happier’ by QUAKERS is, quite simply the largest slab of brand new HipHop this side of the Moon. Props to all involved, this track is epic. I think I need to lie down. I like BRETON, I’ve enjoyed [...]

DEAD SKELETONS, YOUNG MAN plus QUANTIC, ALICE RUSSELL & COMBO
December 23rd, 2011 by admin
DEAD SKELETONS ‘Om Mani Peme Hung’ is both unpronounceable and indescribable, despite this fact I’m going to make a brief attempt unburdened by the futility of the task. I’d say it sounds like the soundtrack to an Indian space programme totally staffed by Americans and Aborigines, yah get me? YOUNG MAN’s ‘Who Knows’ does that [...]

THE SHINING, HAIGHT ASHBURY plus MIGUEL MIGGS
December 9th, 2011 by admin
MIGUEL MIGGS is a man who knows how to turn the one’s and two’s of computer code into a seductive groove. ‘Tonight’ featuring MESHELL NDegeocello vocals is a gorgeous slab of laidback House that’s likely to leave give the Lynx Effect a run for it’s money. Play this and the one you love is likely [...]

FRIEND, OPIE DEINO plus DAUGHTER
October 6th, 2011 by admin
I’m His Girl by FRIEND may not contain the most empowering lyrics in the history of feminism but the tune does the job. Laidback, full of groove and with more than a hint of sleaze this a great song, to listen to, and maybe even something naughtier. Please don’t ask me to explain what OPIE [...]

DOG IS DEAD, DJ SWITCH plus MICHAEL MAYER
September 29th, 2011 by admin
We’ve been with DOG IS DEAD since the very earliest days, and whilst we’ve always known they were set for the big time it’s nice to have that confirmed by one of the world’s biggest record labels who’ve recently signed them for a phat signing on fee, some cake and a couple of chocolate hobnobs. [...]

SWIMMING, WILCO plus FLIGHT FACILITIES
September 3rd, 2011 by admin
The new SWIMMING single is on the way, I thought you should know, why I hear thee say? ‘Cause it’s feckin awesome that’s why, a proper treat for your ears. In fact I think playing ‘Neutron Wireless Crystal‘ to your lug-holes is about the closest they’ll ever come to having a threesome, this track is [...]

KONO MICHI, THE COMPUTERS plus LL COOL J (!)
August 19th, 2011 by admin
KONO MICHI is a brand new artist to me, on first ‘hear’ she appears to be a trippier, contemporary Edith Piaf-Ish. My ineloquence ironically accurately indicates how tricky it is to describe this unique artist in words, listen to the song man, I’m drowning here! And now for something rather different. Think The Beach Boys [...]

THE BULLITS, BEN WESTBEECH plus ROGER SEVENTY TWO
August 5th, 2011 by admin
I’ve expressed my love for the work of THE BULLITS before, if you’re not in to open declarations of unconditional love you should probably jog on, before ya vom. They’ve really got the funk, always a winner with me, throw in THE Soul, THE Groove and THE Swagger and I’m not even go to try [...]

BLOOD ORANGE, MY TIGER MY TIMING plus KANYE & JAY-Z
July 29th, 2011 by admin
Ole Dev Haynes is a talented lad, well that’s the nice way of putting it, a musical skitzo is the other. Man he’s had more incarnations than Greece has had loans. Latest look is the BLOOD ORANGE one and based on its first outing (‘Sutphin Boulevard’) I’m really feeling it. MY TIGER MY TIMING are [...]

DJ SHADOW, TINARIWEN plus CHROMEO and HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR
July 22nd, 2011 by admin
DJ SHADOW’s new material is incredibly sick man/ blowing up real big/ destroying dancefloors etc I’ll let you choose your musical cliché of choice. Cliches aside the underlying sentiment is accurate, as new track ‘I’m Excited’ shows. On a slightly different tip, okay humongously different is a track called ‘Tenere Taqqim Tossam’ by TINARIWEN. Hard [...]
