Since our initial post back in February of this year our home town of Brighton has erupted with an enveloping plume of new electronic music that has been inescapable for anyone caught within its path. Most notably artists such as Lorca , Leon Vynehall , Maxxi Soundsystem , Guy Andrews and Dauwd have seen their music being touted, spun and signed by some of electronic music's most prestigious DJs and labels, whilst home grown label Well Rounded has found itself hosting parties at Glade, and Echo Festival and traditional Brighton label 'Skint' has [...]
Ramon Tapia has been pushing our buttons for a while in Labs HQ. We have a soft spot for for infectious house beats and Ramon delivers that in spades. The 2 track EP is straight up non nonsense house that would keep the dance floor bubblin at its peak. Its also marks another release for Skint Recordings as they continue to march out the house quality.
The Skints' quality is evident on many of their tracks, from the chilled-out and proud cover of Katy B's "On A Mission" (which has received massive success after a live video went viral on YouTube) to the strong and addictive "Rat-at-at". Whatever mood you're in, and at whatever time of day, The Skints will surely have a song to lift your spirits
Skint & Demoralised - 'This Sporting Life' (UK Release: 12 March '12) // Words: Emily Solan The story of Skint & Demoralised is quite harrowing. Signed to a major label, an incessantly catchy single that is promoted to hell (including a spot on Britain's foremost new music output 'Loose Women' ), disappointing sales and a debut album leak all added up to create a catastrophic calamity, and a somewhat distressing attempt at a solo career. Thankfully Matt Abbott [...]
We've been trawling through a whole mass of videos recently and here are some of our favourites assembled for your viewing and listening pleasure. First up is Crybaby's video for excellent debut I Cherish The Heartbreak More Than The Love That I Lost , shot in the gloomy surrounds of Bristol hospital and is a noirish loveletter to the exquisite pain of a broken heart. a Hotly tipped Essex 4-piece The Milk's new single Broke Up The Family is [...]
Taken from their upcoming album Part & Parcel, Ratatat is a blinding track accompanied by a masterfully shot, black and white video.

It's set for release on the 12th of March 2012 and signed copies are still available to pre-order on Play.com for just £8.99. It's also well worth checking out their [...]
The east London reggae quintet are doing anything but rest on laurels after the massive support they got from Katy B, Skream and Benga with their rendition of Katy B's " On A Mission ". Riding the wave, all gnarly like, they've just unleashed the video for their new single Ratatat, which is due for release February 27th. I'm still a little bit lost as to what to call this music, and at the same time not really bothered by the need to shoebox it. It reminds me a little [...]

Italian producer Seth first came to our attention in November when we heard his "Cloud Gazing" EP on Skint Records offshoot Under 52s . Composed of a variety of cross genre sounds it was an excellent debut which was also accompanied by an excellent video. Fast forward a couple of months and we have managed to catch up with the producer to get the low down on what makes him tick while also securing an exclusive mix for our Test Tube podcast series.

Listen to East London reggae band the Skints put their spin on a cover of Katy B's 'On a Mission.'
East London Reggae is how they describe themselves. I can't really think of a more apt genre to describe The Skints ' sound. They fuse ska, reggae, punk, dub and East London vibes into a beautiful collection of noise. This cover has been getting love from everywhere! Big ups and posts from Skream , Benga and Katy B herself. All pretty good endorsements. 10,000 views on YouTube in a day. I think it is safe to say this is a band to start getting excited buy. Keeping true to their "take the path less [...]

The final part of our exclusive interview with Callum B. If you missed the rest, read part one here & part two here. There appears to be some controversy surrounding your remix of Flatland Funk feat. Tory D - Lose Control sounding too much like Skrillex, Does this bother you?? It only bothers [...]
Part 2 of our exclusive interview with Callum B If you missed part one, you can catch up & read it here. Producers / DJs / Artists have it all easy, they sit around & make money for nothing, right? What's the toughest part of being a producer? Haha this was funny [...]
We heard this guy's music a few months back on Youtube and Soundcloud and were instantly drawn to his high caliber & talented production sound & style! Fresh out of Uni, Callum admits he's not quite found his own sound yet but there's definitely no question this guy oozes talent!! He's certainly been busy and [...]
This track is making me think its the summer already! Don't quite know how I only heard it for the first time today (was probably obsessing over some insanly bass heavy dubstep when it first came out!) but I felt obliged to share it with all the lazy records followers. Enjoy!
Arguably the best-dressed band in electronic pop, Mirrors have teamed with Brighton-based world-renowned tailor Gresham Blake, to create a truly unique item of band merchandise: the Mirrors tie. Having tailored suits for the likes of Nick Cave, Ray Winstone, Richard E. Grant and Christian Slater, and now of course, Mirrors, the Gresham Blake tie is a thing of an unsurprisingly high q...
