RU Ready To Grumble?
July 30th, 2008 by Nu Music Lover
Big up to one of my favourite Radio One DJs Bobby Friction for introducing me to the sort of dark, menacing sound I’d normally expect to have dropped on me by his esteemed and rather cute colleague Mary Anne Hobs. GOONDA’s ‘Infiltrate The Dragon’ empahises what I really love about Bobby’s so called ‘Asian’ show [...]

Don’t Be Seduced Boys
July 29th, 2008 by Nu Music Lover
What a blissful piece of New Music AEROPLANE’s ‘Caramellas‘ is. Heard it over the weekend and then on Rob Da Bank, really is the perfect tune when the sun is shining like it has been recently, also dangerously seductive in a romantic way so boys avoid… yes you might get laid but you might also [...]

Any sitting on the sideline issues with the new Bloc Party track ‘Mercury’ have been well and trully kicked in to touch by the awesome CSS mix! And can’t believe I forgot to mention earlier in the week this new ‘this must surely be Justice in disguise or else someone has nicked their studio settings’ [...]

Couple of Zane Lowe ‘hottest’ records (courtesy of Huw Stephens) to mention that have certainly done what it says on the tin. I was unsure at first about WILEY’s ‘Summertime’ when heard on Mista Jam’s 1Xtra show ( I’m very protective of my Daft Punk samples) but now I have come round. I knew it [...]

New Backstreet Boys?!
July 21st, 2008 by Nu Music Lover
Kissy Sell-Out sessions on Radio One are a mixture of fabulous energy and radio horror as he bounds around like an enthusiastic teenager who’s been allowed to get drunk at his older sisters wedding.

Off Ur Nut Japanese Pop Stars via Ireland
July 18th, 2008 by Nu Music Lover
JAPANESE POP STARS new track ‘Rise of Ulysses’ is absolutely off ur nut phenomenal. Big, basey, squelchy noise that appeals to primeval instincts within your gut you quite possibly didn’t even know you have, especially if your normally into James Blunt or other pop pap. And all from Ireland not Japan! I’ve liked the The [...]
