another trump card from Mark Ronson's corner, Ellie Goulding . pop music but with a lot more promise than today's crop. An LP on the way with Burial, Theophilus London, Mark Ronson and a guy called FrankMusik - who is apparently big news somewhere - all making appearances. watch the video & see whether it fits with who your trying to be

. . . extended weekend runnings from 2 camps who do things the right way.

an independent documentary on the illegal palestinian men who have crossed the border into Israel in hope of work. By night, living in an unfinished mall - no running water, sanitation or electricity, and by day, dodging the law as they try to find a receptive employer... The trailer is above, but if anyone knows where a full copy can be obtained. . please get in touch. .

three garage/house hybrids on the newly founded well rounded records . Courtesy of Deadboy . We all have our soft spots - and these tracks hit at least 4 of mine. sometimes simultaneously, seriously, don't tease me with this NU garage revival. I missed half of the og garage the first time, I just want that back before we start taking it new places. sold out at Boomkat. Juno . weirdly, for something that would sound so good in a dance, this sounds mighty good when home [...]

my type of r&b rumoured to be from Skream's forthcoming longplayer. . . and showing us another side of his production brain. so beautiful. I could soundtrack a million sleepless nights with an LP of this empty sound.

when the XX are involved, less is certainly more. MP3: Florence & The Machine - You Got The Love (XX Remix) end of the night come down

MP3: Sean Garrett - Up In Your Heart (Ft. Gucci Mane) more offcentre r&b from bangladesh , who, when he's not rehashing the A Millie beat, seems to have developed a talent for making average artists sound like r&b gods. And of course it wouldn't be complete without some garbling from gucci. And of course I wouldn't be posting it if I didn't think it was big.

nearly ready according to the Wireblock camp. Roska's refix of the title track will have been heard if you frequent funky in clubs or online... I for one have heard it multiple times without knowing it's source, and can now say it's easily one of my favourite things he's done. From the snippets on the Wireblock site, Its clear the rest of the EP is going in the same direction. . the type of music thats outgrown most humans vocabularies. keep eyes open [...]

if you at a loose end in London this weekend and have a thing for good art and good music. . . look no further. . WeAreSustain.com a lot of respect to Ijam, the man who took control.

This will probably explain JR's Women are Heroes project a lot better than my previous attempt. really tempted to jump on the Eurostar and see this for myself. Thanks to BKRW

ridiculously fresh colllection from Ransom for '09 . Now all we need is a UK stockist.

2562 has readied another album for the Tectonic imprint. . . definitely feeling influences from the current post-garage mixture that is getting love this and next year. but unlike how much of the material currently masquerading under that label now is 100% geared to tear a club, unbalance maintains the listen-at-home status that his previous album had. Yeah, it'll tear, but you also don't get sick of it if your rinsing it on headphones. A perfect balance I guess. The pun was coming. You should also make damn sure to check this out [...]

the return of the repentant Chris Brown. move along if you can't forgive. . some more commercially facing r&b that will cause all kinds of problems if played to the right dance. Swizz Beatz & Lil Wayne supporting. & another song that will force me to leave my seat when I visit some more pants 'student culture' university nights. Spare a thought. . .

Kanye with some more merchandise for his fan club - photos from the Glow In The Dark Tour. I caught it in London, and was knocked sideways by the effort that had clearly been put in to making it what it was. Still get a bit misty at the way 'support act' Common was treated while warming up though. But that's just me. . Details @ Universecity

I still bump this record religiously. Someone needs to book them this side of the river. Sharpish...

Forthcoming for Von D on Black Acre Records. Find me someone who creates a mood as well as this. . . theres a skreamix too if you like things heavy rather than sexy

Out of the blue came the news that Shuanise * is to bless us with a 3 track EP (+instrumentals) via the beautifully updated Up My Alley label. And after quickly whoring myself onto the said labels promo list, I was lucky enough to be blessed with some of the music. Think smoky underground jazz clubs, vintage microphones and vinyl crackles. There is bags of soul, and even more promise from what I think is one of todays leading UK talents. . out pretty soon (can be pre-ordered on RushHour ) [...]
