Full Of Fire

The Knife - Full Of Fire - Official video
Seven years have flown by hey? I still remember being 23, DJing every Saturday night in an indie club in Southampton and dropping 'Heartbeats' every single set without fail. Then, The Knife went silent. Until now. I'm almost 30, I haven't listened to 'Heartbeats' in longer than I can remember and that indie club in Southampton seems like a lifetime ago, but with this new track, The Knife have pulled me back in. Definitely one of my most eagerly awaited albums of 2013. Shaking The Habitual is released on April 8th. [...]

White Noise

White Noise Could this be the dreamiest collaboration of the year? Ok, its only January and I might be getting ahead of myself, but tracks as good as this don't come around often do they? x

No Title

No Title I swear it was literally days ago I was thinking about Katy B and how much the world needed her return. And here she is, with not only a seamless E.P featuring collaborations with Jessie Ware, Diplo, Zinc, Wiley and more, but a FREE E.P too. Why she'd give away such a strong release for free, I'm unsure. But if nothing else it does an important job, it reminds the world shes still here and 'On A Mission' wasn't a one off, flash in the pan success. Big things are definitely still to come.

She’s got a boyfriend anyway…

She’s got a boyfriend anyway… "And this is how it starts / You take your shoes off in the back of my van / My shirt looks so good / When it's just hanging off your back" Released on November 16th, Manchester band The 1975 are back with a follow up to their well received EP ' Facedown' with a new four track which goes by the name of 'Sex'. If you like your alternative bands to be mixed with electronica, grungy guitars and R&B influenced vocal harmonies, then this EP is potentially your new favourite listen. Opening track 'Intro / Set [...]

SEND ME DOWN

SEND ME DOWN Just under a month ago, Haim dropped a new track, the beautifully catchy and pop infused 'Don't Save Me'. And now? Its time for the follow up. 'Send Me Down' has a darker sound to the bands previous releases, heavy on percussion and more driven in its pace whilst still staying faithful the bands trademark indie pop feel. My excitement levels for their (hopefully) soon to be released full length have just risen times a million. x

LOSING YOU

By now we should all know who Cyril Hahn is right? You remember, the guy that created one of the best remixes you ever heard? If you don't know what I'm talking about, first up..head over to this link quickly ok? Ok, you with me? Well, as I was saying, Cyril Hahn...He's only done it again. So this time the remix I'm talking about isn't of a song with legendary pop status just yet, but it is by the sister of the aforementioned bands lead vocalist. To add to that, its one of my favourite records of 2012 [...]

1000 Minutes Part 39

1000 Minutes Part 39 Not sure what this countdown is about? Click here! 150. Justin Timberlake - Cry Me A River [4:48] ( time remaining 431:09 ) ( listen on Spotify ) A thumping Timbaland production, JT hitting a falsetto range Mariah Carey would be jealous of, a video that involved him stalking a fake Britney Spears round her house and lyrics that focus not on heartbreak but getting your own back. What more could you want from a track? Potentially one of my favourite pop songs of all time, its now a massive [...]

Hannah Wants – Mixtape 1012

I can't tell you how much I'm starting to obsess over midlands DJ and Producer Hannah Wants' music. Rapidly climbing the ranks in the DJ / Production world recently, she's taken over Rinse FM, shes smashed Creamfields, shes played alongside Annie Mac, Disclosure, SBTRKT and Jaguar Skills to name a few and shes been championed by Eats Everything, Foamo, Shadow Child and many more. To put it bluntly, this girl is KILLING IT. Sink her latest mix into your eardrums below, trust me, it won't disappoint. And keep an eye on her too, big things are going to [...]

Check out the new video from The XX for the second single from 'Coexist', 'Chained'. x

Latching onto you

Disclosure - Latch feat. Sam Smith  (Official Video)
Disclosure are absolutely killing it this year and this track is one of their best so far. I had the pleasure of seeing them support SBTRKT at Shepherds Bush Empire last week and I was absolutely blown away. Their live set is miles ahead of any other producers performing live right now and Sam Smith's vocal on this song was absolutely phenomenal. And as if that wasn't enough, there's now this beaut of a video to accompany it too. Ideal. x

Cry Me A River

Cry Me A River Not only is this track one of my favourite pop songs of all time, but now, eSenTRIK has increased its value by producing this remix. This has got some serious vibes. x

RIP Tony Sly

RIP Tony Sly Sad news spread across the internet last night as fans of punk band No Use For A Name found out about the passing of front man Tony Sly, aged 41. Like many teenagers at the time, melodic punk rock was a big part of my life and musical discovery around 1998/99 onwards as I turned 15 and searched for music I wanted that wasn't played on the radio. Fat Wreck Chords was the label that provided me with most of my favourite bands at that time and No Use For A Name were always a choice pick. 'Making [...]

Laura

Laura I feel like I've done something really great in the world to deserve so many of my favourite artists coming back with new releases this year. There have been many countdown moments where I've been obsessively waiting for release days to come around and stalking artist Twitter profiles in the hope of sneak peeks or promo videos but even better than that are the surprises. And Queen of the surprise for me so far this year is Natasha Khan, otherwise known as Bat For Lashes. I had absolutely no idea that a new single was on its way [...]

Angels

Angels They're back! Could this be the most exciting musical moment to happen in 2012? I'm pretty sure its a strong contender. Ahead of their eagerly awaited second album 'Coexist' and their bound to be phenomenal headline set at Bestival this coming September, The XX have dropped the first single from the follow up to their debut album, 'Angels'. Fans will be pleased to hear that the sound hasn't moved dramatically from their existing catalogue whilst still managing to sound fresh. For me, 'Angels' is like the new album's 'Shelter'. Still as beautiful, but with a little more confidence [...]

Hanging On

Hanging On When a track has been only been up for three days and already has over 270k plays it speaks volumes really doesn't it? Like many I've been wondering what had happened to Ellie Goulding recently, it seemed her relationship with Skrillex was dominating most of her news coverage, but finally shes back for the right reasons, her voice. New single 'Hanging On' is an Active Child cover, featuring Tinie Tempah on MC duties and you can download it for free by following the Soundcloud link below. Personally, I think its a grower. The positives: Ellie's vocals [...]

Secret Sessions: Peter & Kerry

Peter & Kerry - I Don't Know - Secret Sessions
I stumbled across what may turn out to be my new favourite YouTube channel this morning. SecretSessionsTv  describes itself as 'the online live acoustic music channel bringing you sessions and interviews from all the hottest artists - live music as you've never seen it before!' Currently the channel has uploaded 92 videos from a really diverse mix of artists from Nneka to The Proclaimers and Julia Stone through to ex-X Factor contestant Rachel Adedeji. The video that caught my eye however was from one of my favourite duo's in existance, Peter and Kerry whose debut full length [...]

Wildest Moments : Video

Jessie Ware - Wildest Moments
I don't want to keep repeating myself, but seriously, Jessie Ware really can do no wrong. Today shes dropped the official video for her latest track, 'Wildest Moments'. The single shot video has been directed by the legendary Kate Moross who also directed the videos for her previous videos and its simplicity compliments the song perfectly. Wildest Moments is available to buy on iTunes now by following this link  and her debut album, 'Devotion' is due to be released on August 20th, pre-order your copy from Amazon here . If her releases are anything to go [...]
