Beck Is A Musical Legend
May 30th, 2008 by Nu Music Lover
If you’re really up on your game and are already familiar with SNEAKY SOUND SYSTEM you want be surprised to hear it was love at first sight for me and ‘Pictures’. Upbeat funky, slightly squelchy, slightly off-kilter pop that just makes your ass cheeks spontaneously combust. I realise that sounds really wrong and feel the [...]

Eurovision – I like’d the pirates!
May 27th, 2008 by Nu Music Lover
The thing I do like about Eurovision is it does really show how wonderfully diverse music is whilst simultaneously showing some uncanny similarities across multiple time zones, in the case of Eurovision how a nice lady can prop up nearly any track (Hello Ukraine!) and the fondness for comedy choices as your country’s representative. As [...]

I Love Camp Disco
May 23rd, 2008 by Nu Music Lover
I really like the new MOBY track which has a really quirky disco feel, which isn’t that surprising when its made by a New York based quirky bl0ke who is very fond of disco. ‘I Love You’ is also rather chilled and camp. An interesting concoction all round! The artist SOUTH EAST is I believe [...]

Summer Jockeying
May 21st, 2008 by Nu Music Lover
Some big tunes out there at the moment as artists jockey around poised to strike for that much chased Summer Anthem status. Somewhat ironically I doubt most of the musical darlings attracting my attention will even bother the edge of the charts but hey ho I like stroking my metaphorical beard and I ain’t ashamed [...]

Soulwax = The definition of Musical Genius
May 20th, 2008 by Nu Music Lover
I’m not quite sure if this is new music as such, its definitely using music in an innovative way and most importantly its musically amazing. On Colin Murray last night Soulwax in their 2ManyDJs guise did a twenty minute mix totally comprising of song intros. In other words 5 sec segments of songs times something [...]

Sunshine Quotas
May 16th, 2008 by Nu Music Lover
I really like the random indie sound of the new track from RESTLESS LIST, ‘Butlins Break‘ has an almost ‘apache’ sound to it which will only mean something to ya if u r familiar with the classic discofunk track of the days gone by, days which we generally don’t mention here on Brand Nu! Also [...]
