By Steven Dinnie April 19, 2013 Record Store Day 2013 brings with it the usual re-releases, side-things, pointless nonsense, and new releases trying to trick their way to bigger sales by dropping on a day more when people are in record shops than usual. Everything has a stench of death about it this year, as if this is an end-of-season finale for all record shops after the spectacularly unexpected demise of HMV. This year, there are exciting records dropping in the true spirit of Record Store Day, accompanied [...]
The Viking of National Public Radio rides in on Winter’s Wind. Lars Gotrich, NPR Music’s Online Music Editor and frequent contributor to All Songs Considered visits to ruminate on Spiritualty in music and culture, his genesis as a Holy Son of the American South to transcendent discussions on Talk Talk, Scott Walker and Leonard Cohen’s [...]
I've been listening to a lot of music, alone in this house where I'm dog-and-cat-sitting, over the course of the past day or two. Yesterday I was a complete waste of space. I seriously couldn't perform simple life functions until the middle of the afternoon. That was one hell of a hangover. Luckily, I've got [...]
I almost titled this Sunday Mixtape Number 288. Apparently in my mind I've already run the Veas marathon, and it's late-night Decmeber 2nd and I'm ready to compile a mix tape. Silly me, I've still got two weeks to go! Of course, there's no way in hell I'm going to finish running 26.2 miles and [...]

Dark Sky have been making a very serious impact recently, what with their devastating bootleg of the Nelly Furtado classic, 'Promiscuous Gyal'. Now they have thrown down their new offering in the form of 'High Rise', a bouncy, bass-filled club tune with an incredibly infectious hook. Staying away from all the obvious formulas, the precise detailing [...]
Forthcoming on Blunted Robots : Vinyl 2nd May, Digital 9th May
Here's a round-up of some of what I've been feeling latest, brought to you by the magic of Soundcloud, because my WordPress Audio Player has been super buggy lately, hence not posting much. Big tune forthcoming on Swamp81 by Boddika, who is definitely looking like being one of the best producers of 2011. Soul What by Boddika aka.Instra:mental One of the biggest tunes to be played all night on the Boiler Room last Tuesday, Jack Dixon - Coconuts, forthcoming on Inhale. Expect yourself to [...]
CLICK IMAGE TO VIEW VIDEO About: "After a ten-year hiatus The Mighty Souls of Mischief formed like Voltron, releasing the Prince Paul produced Montezuma's Revenge last December to high praise and rave reviews. Nearly a year later, and following world tours and the release of their own Heiro Man toy, Souls is releasing a new [...]
This song is the first single I know of that will be featured on Finally Famous Vol. 3 which I assume is hosted by Don Cannon. I can't view the video at the moment because my work computer keeps messing up but through the choppiness it doesn't seem to be anything too original but it [...]
Good morning boys and girls, how about a Big Sean video to start the day! Download: Big Sean - "High Rise" (Produced by Don Cannon) / Limelinx
A little preview off of Big Sean's upcoming mixtape, Finally Famous Vol. 3: B.I.G. Big Sean does it for me, I'm not sure what it is...probably the smooth delivery and witty rhymes. I first got wind of him through listening to Mike Posner's mixtapes, and he looks poised to make a major breakthrough pretty soon. Give it a spin, spotted at NahRight . Download: Big Sean - High Rise [...]
I was checking my e-mail before heading off to the 'ol 9 to 5 when I spotted this joint (Props to IllRoots ). Apparently it dropped yesterday afternoon and I completely missed it. What a great way to start off a Tuesday, with some new Big Sean. "Finally Famous Vol. 3: B.I.G." coming soon! Download: Big Sean - "High Rise" (Produced by Don Cannon) / Limelinx
Big Sean - "High Rise" Here's the first leak off of Seanny boy's upcoming tape, Finally Famous Vol. 3, hosted by Don Cannon. I did gripe before about Big Sean mimicking his mentor Kanye West's flow, but it's a relief to hear him being himself on this track. Big can nowadays really hold it down by himself too, [...]
Big Sean - High Rise First leak off of Finally Famous 3: The Mixtape . Don't know if the artwork's official or not but I can dig it. Sean discusses the tape: “i took a lot of time away from working on my mixtape to finish this album. The label wanted me to go back in heavy on it. everything is coming along smoothly…i’m gonna add a few more adjustments to the mixtape, it’s very close to being done so u can look out for it in the very [...]
Matthew Ryan's twelfth album, Dear Lover, is part prayer, part confession; a whispered recitation of the things that often go unsaid between people. This may sound dour, but Ryan has always been adept at infusing his hymns with more than enough hope to lift them above any sorrow and melancholy that may be contained therein. This - along with an uncanny gift for melody - is what makes Matthew Ryan one of the most challenging, and satisfying, songwriters alive. Sonically, Dear Lover follows slightly more in the footsteps of Ryan's From A Late Night High Rise than [...]
Slick but sick video from Bigz, Shotty, Panache, Flexplicit and Hypes.
Think I've got this right - Highrise is the production outfit and Panache , Hypes and Bigz are the MCs and the name of the track is 'Breeze'. It's taken from Panache's forthcoming 'The Flux Capacitator' mixtape/album. Manchester stand up.
