Amateur Best - Be Happy A couple of years ago now, Joe Flory was gaining a fair amount of attention as Primary 1 - there was a bit of buzz, a rather good single with Nina Persson of The Cardigans called 'The Blues' and rumblings of an album, until... well, not very much. Flory did put out an LP as Primary 1 last year, but it was a digital-only release that seemed more like a desk-clearing exercise rather than a definitive artistic statement. Flory has now re-emerged as Amateur Best , and it's [...]

take me out, make me cry, shout it out ♫ Primary 1 - Ready For The Good Life We all know and love Primary 1 from his own tracks as well as his guest spots and lucky for us the London artist is back with another project called Amateur Best.

Memory Tapes (AKA Dayve Hawk) has been growing quickly on us since we featured " Wait In The Dark " in our Weekend Burn about a month ago (see our Weekend Burn archive here ). Since this time, we've realized how remixable Hawk's music was and to no surprise, did we find not only Memory Tapes remixed by multiple well-known DJs, but that our boy Dayve did quite a few himself. In the list below, you'll notice yet another Phoenix remix. If you're interested in more of these, we just put our [...]

![[LP] THE SHOES have apparently not been WASTIN' any TIME](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3368299_lg.jpg)
you know the hounds won't wait for no one, but i, i waited my life for you ♫ The Shoes - Wastin' Time The Shoes finally released an album!! These guys have been showing on remix radars for years now, finally releasing their own "People Movin" with Primary 1 back in 2009. Luckily the patient wait for these Frenchmen to get their act together (and recruit a host of fantastic guests like Esser and CocknBullKid) has been totally worth it.

This edition of Popforward is an unusual one, because I'm about to "tip" an act that has already ceased to exist. Primary 1, aka Joe Flory, was known for producing leftfield electronic music and remixing artists like Mutya Buena and Metronomy before he decided to take the mic and embark on a major label pop [...]

Como diz na descrição da banda, Work Drugs "is a sedative-wave / smooth-fi group from an abandoned pier on the banks of the Delaware River in the beautiful jawn that is Philadelphia, PA". Formado por dois integrantes: Benjamin Louisiana e Thomas Crystal , a banda da Filadélfia faz um som indie pop remisturando chillwave em um vocal ótimo de se ouvir. Os Work Drugs estão com apenas um single, ótimo por sinal, e acabaram de lançar um videoclipe. Trata-se da track "Third Wave", onde cenas de uma festa entram em contraste com uma [...]
Primary 1 - Sliding [ mp3 ] sweet new tune by the APC fave Primary 1
Primary 1 tem uma trajetória bem diferente dos artistas indies mostrados aqui. O cara, chamado na verdade de Joe Fiory, veio soltando algumas faixas ao longo do ano, que já foram remixadas por nomes de peso como Memory Tapes e Joker , além de já ter colaborado com nomes como Paul Epworth (produtor do Rapture , Friendly Fires e Bloc Party ), e estar abrindo atualmente a turnê da Ellie Goulding . O mais engraçado, entretanto, é que desde suas primeiras demos, o cara já estava assinado com a Atlantic Records, [...]
