Slowly Rolling Camera – Dream A Life [Listen]

Mar 19, 6:04pm Universal Wax

Often a bands name is a statement of how they see themselves, sometimes it's simply to grab the attention or to make a statement. Rarely a bands name is so synonymous with the music; a wonderful embodiment of what you hear ... Continue reading �

Justin Timberlake ft. Ciara – Love Sex Magic (Bodhi remix)

Mar 18, 8:50am Ego Thieves

Ciara and her body-popping self once had quite a stronghold on the R&B scene. How could we forget the Austin native's crunk-inspired take on R&B during the mid-2000s? What we would do for a moment of 'Goodies' watching Ciara wrangle herself to Jazze Pha's whiny, 808 hip-hop. Welsh pair, Bodhi , take one of her later creations that featured JT during his electro pop phase. 'Love Sex Magic' gets converted to a jumpy twostepper, perfect for shaking off that weekend laze/hangover. It's Monday, let's go. Also, did somebody say free [...]

It's Quite Blury

Mar 17, 9:14am Chrome Kids

From our extended family comes Blured. A compadre of the Chrome Kids for many years, he has just released a vinyl only monster of a Techno tune in the shape of 'It's Quite'. It provides the 1st outing for label YCO, which is run by another group of our boys from back in Cardiff (also the crew behind the excellent City Bass nights). You seriously need to check the swagger on this track. It's already been getting heavy rotation from Martyn, Jackmaster, Boddika, Gingy and Bordello.

Bodhi Groove Series 2

Mar 17, 9:10am Chrome Kids

With their 'Culture' EP riding high on the playlists of Skream, Gilles Peterson, FaltyDL, Machinedrum and Rob Da Bank amongst many others, we shall forgive Bodhi for missing a month in their monthly Groove Series (they did slip out a Mixmag mix instead to be fair). This is another killer mix of Housey, Garagey vibes from the boys, much in keeping with its name.

Stagga & Monky 4

Mar 17, 9:04am Chrome Kids

Individually, our boys Stagga & Monky are two of the country's finest producers. Together they're insane... literally. Before Monky finally drops his lifelong moniker to become elmono , the pair have released a new 4 track EP of bass heavy, glitched up goodness. In Stagga 's words "its a bit mental but does have its more soft and romantic moments." STAGGA & MONKY _4 by STAGGA / MONKY

The Arteries – Restless

Mar 11, 4:00am The Ruckus

In the three years since the release of ‘Dead Sea’, it’s all been a bit quiet on The Arteries’ front; a couple of tracks on a split with The Arrivals is all we’ve had to tide us over. ‘Restless’ puts an end to that wait, with a fantastic six-track EP from the Welsh wizards. The slowly swelling intro to ‘Bleed Away’ only serves to increase that anticipation, before erupting into the fast-paced and intense punk rock racket that The Arteries have become known for. It’s sweet riff after sweet riff combined with an excellent rhythm section and some [...]

Wale – Street Runner (Official Video)

Feb 21, 7:41pm Vibe to This

A few hours before taking to the stage in Baltimore , MMG's Wale releases visuals for the horn-fused feel-good track "Street Runner".  The DMV native's go-go sound has gradually found it's may squeezed out of a lot of Wale's more commercial material - but that's what mixtapes like  Folarin   are for - as this one gets a sample & soul treatment reminiscent of some of that earlier work.

TORONTO COMMENTATOR ETHERS WALE

It's been a bad week for rappers and the NBA. Wale got severely sunt by a Toronto game announcer tonight, as Wale talked trash to Rudy Gay on the court. After the announcer was done referring to him as a "local rapper", Wale tried to approach him, only to be escorted back to his seat. "HE'S NOT DRAKE, THAT'S FOR SURE."
