Got sent this great dark electronic instrumental track "66" by up and coming Australian producer Fables! It got my attention right away when they called it "Blade Runner Funk" . How cool is that? It will definitely appeal to fans of artists like Daft Punk . Stream the track via their soundcloud below. If you like what you hear you can purchase it plus remixes on Amazon , iTunes or Beatport [...]
its been a while since i've posted some new talent so in such a return comes Fables! a sydney lab with a ear for that lush sound. of the original and daft-punk-esque '662 and his remix and brilliant adaptation of phoenix's 'fences' (that almost doesn't sound like the original) he has already shown a stock of potential for a relatively new kid. a quick nip here and a buff there and we've got some serious talent at hand. FABLES! - '66 (Original Mix) by FABLES! [...]
This is my alternative list to the' BBC Sound of list' which always seems to me to feature artists who have pretty much broken already. That may sound pretentious of me but I can assure you that's not my intention. I never forget the privileged position I have of hearing lots of great artists ahead of the curve. The price I pay tapping away at a keypad every evening and listening to every promo that hits the mat seems a small one, and I still get a real buzz from seeing and meeting emerging artists in small venues. This year the [...]

The 66 are very much a part of the blossoming Manchester scene. Having first hit my radar in 2008, I have been following their steady rise through the ranks. These lads are a hard working bunch, gigging non-stop as well as recording countless demos along the way. I have been dying for them to put a proper physical release out this EP, as it kind of sums up what they are about as a band. The opening title track is a nice slice of dirty rock'n'roll with thunderous [...]
How time flies by in the world of blogging! It's Tuesday again.....Time to introduce you to some more bands from my inbox at Myspace. Yet again, I'm glad I took the time out to trawl through them. This week's pride of place is going to go to Warringtons The 66 and Animal Kingdom. The 66 remind me yet again of all that's good about the Northwest music scene. The band have been earning rave reviews for their action-packed live shows. It's more guitar-driven serious rock [...]
