This week sees the release of the latest single from from New Zealand pop maverick, Connan Mockasin. Out on Erol Alkan's Phantasy Sound - 'Faking Jazz Together' showcases perfectly the oddball universe inhabited by Connan, slivers of hushed vocals weave in and out over fuggy guitars in a track that pulsates with a hauntingly powerful [...]
Sara Atalar and Joni Juden are Visions of Trees - a creepy, youthful duo from East London, whose romantic blend of R&B, 90s dance and goth results in a weird pop, guaranteed to mess with your head. Self-describing their music as "an alienation of urban life and the austerity of nature", for me it's a [...]
Joe Goddard lends his delectable bounce to the new single from T.E.E.D, real name, Orlando Higginbottom, which features bright-eyed vocals from Louisa (of Lulu and the Lampshades fame). It doesn't scale the heights of Goddard's summer smash 'Gabriel', however the glassy weighted synths make this a solid workout. Garden (Joe Goddard remix) by T-E-E-D The [...]
A shimmering, stomping return to form from Eddie K & Millions Like Us. Guest vocals from Hollie G ramp things up in furious fashion, bringing total sass. As always Eddie K's tracks continue to captivate, laden with atmosphere, heart, soul and serious bass. Black Widow is out on D-Style next week.
Warrior One's latest, The Yang EP, is out this week. It already hit no.1 at the top of Juno's Garage & UKF bestseller chart, and weighing in at no.4 on the Breakbeat section. The Yang marks Carl's debut for Black Butter, the first in a series of all-out next level bangers if this is anything [...]

The news of DJ Mehdi's tragic passing at just 34 has left us all saddened at Fat! HQ. Our thoughts are with his friends and family at this time. 'Signatune' remains a fucking tune.

2SuckaDJS are preparing the Kaos EP. Coming out on four40 later this year. Three tracks of pure dancefloor schizoid energy. Initial listens suggest 'Follow On' is the one. 'Kaos' is blessed with a dark raver's pulse though. Check it out for yourself below and be sure to like them on Facebook. Kaos EP - 2SUCKADJS [...]
This week marks Brackles' debut release on Rinse, a 123 named 'Spider / Take Me Home'. Enigmatic as always, 'Take Me Home' is the highlight, a sensational mirage that throbs and aches with nocturnal power. Think furious percussion, mesmeric swooping pads and a come-to-bed vocal blessed with sultry energy. Catch a sample below. Buy it [...]
Out this week on Grizzly, Distal's 'Boss of the South' EP is overflowing with beautiful, bass-heavy ideas. Vocal slices galore collide above a shimmering bassy house beat that careens and sashays gloriously. Capracara splices it open and lets it all come out, tearing out the busyness and sending proceedings in a direction marked lazy. No [...]
Morris Cowan has just completed a new mix for Hyponik, adding to the flow of constant quality output emerging from Adam Taylor, after his album 'Circa' dropped on Zaubernauss (sublabel of Traum Schallplatten) earlier this year. The arrival of the 'Strands' EP is imminent, followed by a second album scheduled for a release on Wigflex [...]
Justice are back. Xavier De Rosnay stepping up to the mic, Gasper Augé behind the drums. A track of brutal simplicity, flecked with French chic. The video is awash with analogue keyboards. Watch it.
Single of the week here at Fat! HQ belongs to George Fitzgerald with the debut release on his label, ManMakeMusic. 'Fernweh' dives out the traps into an insistent late summer groove, sensuous melodic turns and deft percussive interplay, an ensemble that pleads for your attention before snatching it. On the flip, more vocal samples emerge [...]

Capsize by Dels is a surely a shoe-in for best twin collab of the year - Joe Goddard lends sombre vocals, Rodney brings his own inimitable flow. Chuck in Kieren Gibbon's stylish edgy delivery and maelstrom remix production from Entrepreneurs and the vibe becomes sinister, somewhere between a nightmare and a comic. Out now via [...]
