Loved Ones are definitely very subtly staking their claim into being the UK's most exciting new eccentric-ambient-folk band. It might not be the most hotly contested accolade in the music industry, but, nevertheless, it goes someway to describing the Wirralian quartet's measured brilliance. It has seen them go from being the most talked about band in Liverpool's music community to seducing Communion in a relationship that will hopefully bear some very beautiful musical children. Judging by new track, "All Your Cry", that seduction is looking increasingly likely. Ripped from the forthcoming debut album "The Merry Monarch", [...]
![[Video] Lazee: "The Way You Move"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4046387_lg.jpg)
My homie Kei hit me with this track from Sweden's Lazee a couple weeks ago, and I totally spaced. Going through old emails, I found the record, and dug from the jump. It's an energetic rework of some classic Led Zepplin. I'm definitely fucking with it. Check it below, and if you dig it, you can also grab his One Way Ticket mixtape. http://youtu.be/zSHwQbI7rq4 Download "The Way You Move"

New street video from Sweden's own Lazee. "The Way You Move" comes off his most recent mixtape "One Way Ticket", available to stream and download here . Download: Lazee - The Way You Move
This is so underappreciated it is either going to make me question the state of the music media or my own sanity. However, I'm pretty sure I'm largely sane, and, more importantly, an objective enough a listener not to be drawn towards music simply for the virtue of having been made in a town relatively near to mine. So the conclusion is the same one that I've been drawing for a while; Loved Ones' debut single "Are You Hiding Out In Hell?"s fragility and unrelenting, restrained emotion is absolutely brilliant. And now they've a hypnotic video to match the song's [...]

Being a music journalist has always seemed like an unbelievably illogical career path to me, because presumably you would only choose to become one if you loved music, yet, surely to anybody who loves music, the idea of being forced to continuously listen to and pick over an album that you have a real hatred for is something close to Guantanamo Bay levels of torture (not that I've been and know what goes down there). And then there's also the point that you get paid less than a well organised busker, and that whole crisis of people virtually stopping buying [...]
Marcus Price should be considered the bass king of Sweden, and he states his place with this remix of Swedish rapper Lazee. "Tag" pops off at break-neck pace with a juke beat, synths that zip by in the background and vocals that urge you to "throw your hands up" which you'd be a fool not to follow.

Last year the most up and coming rap-group in Norway Bankmenn dropped their single 'Byn Å Grin' (the video featured the cover girl, the one and only Annie Wattz , peep here ) and this summer they update the RykkinnFella-produced banger with features from Lazee, Son of Light and Joddiski. Download after the jump. The track is released alongside Bankmenn's latest street album, "BLP4LIFE" that drops this week on on Royal Mayhem Ent. (in collaboration with kingsize.no) with guest features from Adam Tensta, J-Son, Son Of Light (aka N-Light-N from Tee Productions), Joddski (Tungtvann), Kaveh, S.A.S [...]
New Orleans turned Angeleno crooner/rapper Frank Ocean has been the talk of the internet as of late, much due to his amazing mixtape "Nostalgia, Ultra" but also due to the fact that along with his cohorts Tyler The Creator and Hodgy Beats he forms the hip hop collective Odd Future . Local rapper Lazee adds some Swedish swagger to the two Frank Ocean tracks "Novacane" and "Songs For Women". (Thanks to The Soul Lounge ) Frank Ocean x Lazee - Novacane (ge.tt) [...]

In David Bischoff's 'Copyright Infringement', a video games pirate confronts the ultimate digital rights management system: he gets sucked into the world of the game he was trying to access illegally- unlucky for him this was a digital adaptation of The Blob, and acid dissolution ensues. Remember kids, Home Taping kills people. Your 20jazzfunkgreats truly know for a fact that this so-called story is but a synthesis of many a folk tale about the legendary 'Digital Frights Management' system that MAFIAA clad IT nerds talk about in the small hours, after the Advanced Dungeons [...]

Yes, it's now clear, Swedish House Mafia beats Robyn, Lazee, Kent & Miike Snow and wins the category "Best Swedish Act" at this years edition of the MTV EMAs and today the voting process for the "Best European Act" opens where Swedish House Mafia now have to face the competition from all the other nominated European acts: Afromental (Poland) Caro Emerald (Netherlands & Belgium) Charlie Straight (Czech Republic & Slovakia) Dima Bilan (Russia) Enrique Iglesias (Spain) Gramophonedzie (Adria) Greis (Switzerland) Inna (Romania) Ivri Lider (Israel) Karpe Diem (Norway) The Kolin (Hungary) Marco Mengoni (Italy) Marina and the Diamonds [...]

We got this brand new track from Swedens no1 MC and badboy Lazee plus the worlds biggest dj trio SHM . I knew that they partied together so I guess it's only natural that they collaborated on a party anthem. Don't ask me about the "skin on my leather couch" part. As a veggie I def feel that you should leave all leather to the animal it belongs to. I don't mind the kinky part thou. Can we get a Congorock remix of this one? THIS IS SWEDEN TO THE WORLD! [...]

Confession: I LOVE morning television, esp. the cooking-segments since the music-segments rarely delivers anything of interest. Today however was an exception as around 07:20 am J-Son, Lazee, and St. John's dance took over Nyhetsmorgon at Tv4 with 'The Plot' and the second part of the 'Young Black Boy' Trygghet och Tradition remix (which you can download below the live clip): Adam Tensta - 'Young Black Bo'y ft. Chapee n Chess & Lazee (Trygghet & Tradition Remix Pt.2) [...]
Lazee has signed to Ultra Records in the US and his new single "Hold On" (featuring Neverstore ) will be released digitally on March 23rd.
When the stars are aligned, and upon contact with the golden needle lying hidden in the box of velvet crimson at the back of the old bureau you will open with an esoteric variation of the Fibonacci sequence, the surface of this record shall transform into the no-matter that ...

My question is: why do all rappers wanna claim rock and roll to their left and their right all of a sudden? Just cause of Weezy and them lot? The typical bad boy attitude that makes it legit to throw out an tv-set from the hotel window? Read that Motley Crue biography one too many times? Or what? Please someone, enlighten me. Kano earlier this summer jumped on Jay-Z 'D.O.A'-train but with auto-tune and attempted to kill everything and everyone. Back then I thought it was brilliant but he has been brutally slayed by Hedonis Da Amazon, who [...]

photo: Philofoto I'd love to be on a beach playing football right now. Anyway I haven't posted in a while so I suppose today would be as good a day as ever. First song up today is one which I've had for a while which is a Jason Nevins remix of Kat DeLuna's new single "Dance Bailalo." I prefer this song to "Unstoppable" by a long way which I thought was dire. This is quite nice and up-tempo and I really like the chorus on it. Jason Nevin's remix is especially good - The second [...]
