In yet more Kwes related news, he's unearthed another gem for the second release on his Bokkle label. This time around it's Brixton via Moscow's diamond in the rough Bella Wilde with her debut single - the double sided Note / Without You . It's the first glimpse of a number of ethereal and intensly personal tracks that Bella and Kwes (production / co-writing) have worked on together, which came about through a mutual friend and a mutual love of naturalism in sound, [...]

In a post- Beyoncé at Glastonbury summer, it's time to break out the sunscreen and put away the umbrellas, to coax the sun out of hiding and tell the clouds that we don't want them anymore. It's time for We Humans . The Shropshire four-piece have now emerged from months spent hidden away in studios and practice rooms fully formed, armed with an arsenal of pop tunes and a string of live dates. The first of which will be The Slade Rooms in Wolverhampton on 9th July, with further dates in Birmingham, [...]
Elan Tamara - Don't Know Why (dir. Megan Sharp) Here's the box fresh video for Don't Know Why , the lead track from long time IT favourite Elan Tamara 's third EP, Organ . Organ comes across as a far more intimate collection of tracks compared to her two previous EP's, as if there's a more grounded focus to them. It also seems to carry far more emotional weight in both the songwriting and scale of the instrumentation, which brings out [...]
Entrepreneurs - Fuck Tactics (feat. FOE & Ghostpoet) (dir. Daniel Swan) Check out the complete mind-fuck that is the video for Entrepreneurs second release Fuck Tactics / Bubblegunk through Fear & Records . It's available on CD now through Puregoove here and the lead track features partner in crime FOE as well as a guest verse from the impeccable Ghostpoet . I hear the latter jumped on the mic during Entrepreneurs live set at [...]
Here's a triple-threat of moving images from IT alumni, featuring new singles from Talking Pictures , Hussle Club and Ghost Eyes . Talking Pictures - Mirrors (dir. Laura Martínova von Schloss) Hussle Club - Quaranteenagers (dir. Bijoux Altamirano) Ghost Eyes - Phantom Mountain (dir. Ghost Eyes) Visually intense.
Erm... Hello? Is anyone there? We're sorry that we've been so quiet recently as we've been crazy busy with other projects and party and bullshit. Oh, what's that? Of course we missed you too! Anyway, I thought I'd bring things up to speed by catching up with the ghost of blog posts past and find out what's going on with our nearest and dearest. First off, the disarmingly charming Danimal Kingdom released his debut single Vinyl Skipping Ever Backward / Through The Ice through the Slutty Fringe [...]
Tom Vek - A Chore (dir. Ollie Evans) A Chore is the first piece of the Leisure Seizure puzzle, which is to be released on June 6th. But I'm sure you already knew that. Pre-order from Play.com here . Welcome back, Sir.
Good evening. We thought it was about time that we resurrected one of our most sacred features, reserved for only the most eclectic and distinct of our favourite music makers, the hallowed Guest Mix . So let's get back in the New York groove and jump in at the deep end with the collective entity that is Beaú . There's no tracklist, no half-stepping. Exist in the beautiful. Guest Mix: Beaú
Other than some highly credible ramblings about Supermoons and existentialism, there's very little to know about Andrew Smith and Joe Sigee , or their Amusement . It's too early to determine if this is by choice, circumstance or neccesity but what is important is that their brooding, melody driven electronica instantly caught my ear as I blindly navigated the dimly lit smoke filled corridors of Soundcloud. Check out the wanton lust of Why Does Nothing Grow below and make sure you shuffle over to their Soundcloud [...]
Dear 2011, slow the fuck down. How it's March already is beyond me but it also means that At Home , the third single from Crystal Fighters debut album Star Of Love , dropped yesterday. This wouldn't normally have much of an impact on my day, as I'm too busy on my quest to claim absolute victory on every front, except that the remix package features an absolute gem from the new producer on the block E. Russell . He's [...]
FOE - Tyrant Song (dir. Entrepreneurs) So we're fashionably late once more, but don't let our tardiness for dramatic effect have any bearing on matters - it's time for a brutal audio/visual one-two combo from the somewhat symbiotic pairing of Foe and the omnipresent puppet-master Entrepreneurs . Tyrant Song is the lead track from Hot New Trash , Foe 's debut EP which will be released through new label on the block Stella Mortos on April 4th both digitally [...]
Psychologist - Comes In Waves (dir. Tali Clarke prod. Woodsy) I don't know exactly when Psychologist 's conception as artist happened. I don't know how directly involved with the birth we were back when we were young . But I know that I couldn't be happier for this circle of life to have finally come full turn and to wake up today to a sort of re-birth and new beginning for Iain Woods ... Fitting then, that he should choose similar themes to introduce [...]
Born from the embers of Great Eskimo Hoax and reared in a kitchen in Selly Oak to a soundtrack of Wolfgang Voigt , DJ Koze and Thomas Fehlmann , are Worcestershire duo Pocket House . Whilst they are no strangers to Oxford's Blessing Force collective - Dom is the drummer for Jonquil and Andrew plays live for our beloved Trophy Wife - of which they will inevitably be compared, it's the delicate little flourishes, samples and electronic touches that I find [...]
We first shone a light on Abe a while ago, and today the torch burns in their direction again with this remix of How To Dress Well 's Can't See My Own Face . As influenced-admirers of Tom Krell 's softly-softly approach, Abe delicately re-direct his bedroom R 'n' B deeper into late night Benzo oblivion; opting not to alter the arrangement dramatically, they simply stretch the original out, introducing extended and re-worked 'tro's and a little of the warped 90's soul sound they're quickly establishing as their own. [...]
Evryone - Flamingos (dir. Entrepreneurs) So then 2011, let's be having you. My first proper post of the year and it's a veritable IT love-in. After introducing the wonderfully eccentric Evryone to the blog world back in August of last year, it seems fair that we offer the exclusive drop of the video for their début single Flamingos . Such news would bring a smile to my face even at the worst of times, but that smile quickly turned to [...]
The blog has been running for 3 years today. Happy Birthday to us and Happy New Year to you.

Dave.I.D - Only Me I Can Save (dir. Simon Owens) We all know that I love a bit of Dave.I.D , so obviously I'm more than happy to share the news that he'll be releasing his Gangs EP on 31st January 2011, of which the above track is taken. As usual it will be out on his own Off The Uncertain Button imprint, which has teamed up with K7! since his last release, and if you want to brave the current mind [...]
