“I've been to Southampton but I've never been to Scunthorpe,” rapped Tinie Tempah, which is a shame because if he had he may have discovered today’s new band there. They go by the name of the Ruen Brothers , a moniker which is half true as Rupert and Henry (not the most rock ‘n’ roll first names we’ll agree) are siblings. Despite keeping the first names what they’ve actually changed is their surname (Stansall) but then Ruen Brothers just sounds so more powerfully star-like don’t you think? Like a movie by Tarantino perhaps? [...]
É sábado de manhã em plena baixa da cidade do Porto. É ainda cedo e a cidade começa a acordar lentamente da movida da noite anterior. Nas traseiras de um dos hostels que nos últimos anos nasceram na cidade, o Tattva Design Hostel, criado e gerido por um casal de ascendência indiana, os Dealema vão aquecendo as gargantas, alinhando as rimas e calibrando as batidas enquanto Ace (Mind da Gap) não chega. Assim que se dá o encontro as palavras brotam com a fluidez desejada. De um momento para o outro, ali onde o Porto é mais cosmopolita [...]
![[Video] Ace B8gie: “Push and Pull”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4724661_lg.jpg)
Peep the new video from rising emcee, Ace B8gie. "Push and Pull" is a stand out cut from Ace's last release Endorphin EP . The video was directed by HOTC and produced by Bobby Johnson. Watch the new video below.

"Let's set the night ablaze" I was going to write about a different song today until I discovered this one over on the always wonderful scandipop . I've lamented a few times about how Sweden dropped the ball for me in 2012. They used to be my most reliable purveyors of excellent pop. And while there were definitely some incredible Swedish-borne tracks last year, this year has already started out more exciting. Between Darin and Maja Ivarsson's excellent Så Mycket Bättre material and now this track, my ipod's overflowing with newish Scandinavian stuff. Based on [...]

![[RH Premiere] Ace B8gie: “Better and Better”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4614145_lg.jpg)
"They brought the industry to my residence, I threw my set up." Ace B8gie began building a name for himself in Chicago Hip Hop last year while finishing up his time at the University of Illinois. He's back in the city now, and looking to plant his foot in a diverse and thriving scene. I've been a fan of Ace since last year, and he is only improving as time goes on. That's the message in his latest drop, "Better and Better". The record is produced by Plainro, and is the first song from Ace's Crazy 8 series [...]
Son Raw still wants Royal's Dizzee Rascal refix. It's never a bad time for a reminder that Royal-T's debut album for Rinse.FM is one of the best listens of the year. Any record that combines high-energy rhymes, Burial tributes and over the top rave anthems will hold a special place in my heart but all Grime-fandom aside, it's the kind of record that even novices to the genre can instantly latch onto. Hell, even Jeff co-signed it as a UK album to watch and that's the kind of distinction he usually reserves for [...]
In 1975, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was the Best Picture, Saturday Night Live debuted with George Carlin as its host and the Golden State Warriors beat the Washington Bullets for the NBA championship. On the charts, there were a few one hit wonders and some enduring classics. Here are the Top 10 Rock Songs of 1975.

If you pre-order the record from SubPop.com, you’ll receive a limited edition Helio Sequence CD called Aces that the band created to be played in tandem with Negotiations as a listening [...]

(upon reading of the death of movie mogul Richard Zanuck, it seems timely to dust off a three-post running diary of a viewing of Jaws - which Zanuck produced - that appeared here a couple years ago...) Thirty-five Thirty-seven years ago, almost to the week, Jaws was released. Had Paloma known of this milestone and, given my fascination with the film , she would have likely baked a cake for me. I was seven when the movie became a national phenomenon and, the [...]

There's always something good coming from Tensnake! Here's a special rework he made for Sugardaddy & Tim Hutton's cover version of Ace's " How Long ".

Two brand new LP offerings by the mighty La Station Radar , and one tune of each for an exclusive first Friday afternoon listen right here. Moreover, it's also a blissful juxtaposition of finest contemporary outsider pop . The first record is another full-length by Blanche Blanche Blanche , who'd only recently released their first LP in 2012, the brilliant Wink With Both Eyes on Night-People . Follow-up Papas Proof was recorded in March 2011 on a Yamaha MT8X - needless to say, the twelve tracks on this effort [...]

Relying on those heavy touches of the French variety and profound taste in reverence by composing the art of modern day disco, StereoCool get ready to release their “Remixes” side to ‘Simple’ on 8 June 2012.

Woah Moma! On one of the few hand counts of pertinently named record labels around (see below in the tags area / bottom left in above picture for clarification), Italy’s Andrea Cipria aka StereoCool has put on his Catania heritage ... Continue reading
