Black Books Making their debut appearance on the UK live scene, the band will be arriving here fresh off the back of playing two support dates with none other than The Flaming Lips.

Words by Mel Reeve Atmospheric and dreamy, like something off the Twin Peaks soundtrack, Pure X mix beautiful reverb and equally beautiful guitar melodies on this is a gentle, psychedelic indie pop waltz. Painfully personal lyrics are hissed, the vocals that dodge between are delicate yet soulful, and powerful but raw (with a tonal quality and range reminiscent of Christopher Owens from the now-deceased Girls , and a touch of that particular charm Girls brought to guitar music). This track more than stands up to repeat listening, in fact it’s of such [...]
![[mp3] Mykki Blanco – Bugged Out (prod. Supreme Cuts)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4882215_lg.jpg)
Mykki Blanco is the kind of ground breaking, shape shifting and genre defining act that takes a while for people to come to grips with, but when they do, boy it's total adoration. Same goes with us. Already seen as the next "Rap Lady" with her own style and attidude of course. Mikky Blanco isn't your usual rapper. She brakes a number of rules. You just have to be the master of whatever it is you do, command respect and look good doing it. For some [...]

![GTA & Diplo – Boy Oh Boy + Diplo & DJ Fresh – Up [Anthems]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4759562_lg.jpg)
Diplo 2013 world takeover has just begun. First up, teaming with GTA for some funky Electro infused Moombah. Sampling Missy Elliot 's song "Work It" in the best ways possible, and delivering some incredible vocal work. Ever drop in this just keeps you wanting more, and the third drop resembles Knife Party 's track "Sleeze". Next is another huge collabo from Diplo and DJ Fresh, and they murder this one. With another massive sample, using Notorious B.I.G.'s track "Grab My Gun". Pew, pew, pew, lasers. These were both ripped from the mix at the [...]

This is an awesome video - not just for the beautiful women, but for the energy, flow and perspective that this delivers. This isn't quite "downtempo" - but it is representative of the greater expression I hope to encourage. And I love how they're all smiling - it concentrates their energy at us even more. Just think, what can you do to bring this type of energy and perspective to the world?

Yesterday low-life friendlies, Pleasurekraft dropped their impossibly groovy "retro" house reduction of Eric Sneo 's Shut Up & Dance. "The Voice" and his commands during the intro steal your attention allowing you to follow his voice until the initial melodies drop out from beneath you and you've plummeted into the next bars of Kaveh & Kalle's sophisticated refinement of a hard-hitting house number. Buy it here . Bless, Rader [...]
