I'll be the first to admit that sometimes we show up late to a party that started a few months earlier, but a lot of the time we're starting the party a few months before anyone else shows up. The latter is certainly the case when it comes to young Londoner Halls . Back in April 2011 we tapped him as One To Watch , noting "With homage to the likes of Burial , Mount Kimbie and [...]
