O Japayork apareceu no final do ano passado com seu primeiro single, "Teenagers", que foi lançado pelo blog Popjustice. Pra falar a verdade eu não dei muita atenção quando a música foi lançada, mas só há pouco tempo, quando ouvi sua versão finalizada, que realmente fiquei encantado pelo single. Seu nome artístico veio de viagens "que mudaram sua vida" que o cara fez, adivinhem, para o Japão e para Nova York, e após algumas noitadas, em sessenta minutos, "Teenagers" estava escrita. A música toma de inspiração a frustração com a vida, com os trabalhos que não gostaríamos de [...]
"We came here to forget all the things we regret" Japayork, he of the strange pop name, is one of those artists that I've been enjoying for some time but haven't written about at all. His voice is quite similar to alienhits ' favorite, Ollie Wride, so if you haven't heard this yet I guarantee you're going to like it. It's heavy on the electronics, but that doesn't get in the way of a stunning melody. The see-saw verses of Teenagers , especially, deserve attention for their Mika-esque use of falsetto. It's the kind [...]
Cruel Cassette is from London and he's remixed one of my favorite noise pop bands, BITCHES and also Japayork , an artist whom I've been chasing to have on the blog but never replied to me. Anyway, the fact that Cruel Cassette has remixed BITCHES and the total pole opposite that is Japayork shows that he has good taste. BITCHES are friends of my favorite no-wave noise band, DIVORCE from Glasgow, and the insanely loud two-member thrash punk band with a mad drummer (who has the tendency to drop his pants while [...]
Here's another one of those tunes that falls into the "no idea where or when I heard this but it's been on the list on my phone of songs I wanted to post". Japayork is this 22 year old who I think lives in London whose name I think is Nick, but that's all I've been able to scrounge up in one of my most in-depth researching sessions thus far. This tune "Teenagers" was allegedly written sort of on the fly after a wild night on the town and I think it does capture some ofread [...]

In previous posts I've blogged on the best new tracks I've found. This post is going to take a slightly different approach, and is more focused on the artists themselves. I present to you the next big things, the new kids on the block if you will... What do you get when you mix Mayer Hawthorne style vocals, Ne-Yo style drums and a Count & Sinden style bassline? You get Jai Paul , one of the most exciting new acts in the UK. His song BTSTU (I guess the [...]
A young gentleman previously of Japan and New York base (hence the name) now based in the UK where he has been crafting melodic electronic pop Ou Es t (a little) but has a more rounded pop voice and bigger and deeper synths. Perhaps more Penguin Prison meets Ellie Goulding than Camden's Poster boys...? Either way, discovered through our good friend James of 88days and Brilliantly Different and the track came from Discodust who finally managed to pull a download out of Japa . Thank God [...]
presents New Noise 03/10. Here are some acts that are releasing things soon and are new and excellent. Some are new in the sense that hardly anyone has heard of them before, others are new in the sense that after some people knowing about them they are finally getting on with it. They are all worth a lot of your time. Diana Vickers We've watched The X Factor on and [...]

photo cred: Volga Grafik™ Music is what fuels us and feeds us. It makes rainy days better, and mondays go smoother. Today I have whipped up some smoothies that ill be cruisin' and groovin' to while i scrub the paint out of my furniture. Don't expect womp, but be on the lookout for euphoric, nu-disco, indie-electro intergalactic, panty-dropping, and sweet smooth sounds from the way out.
