Reporter, Runaway, Shy Fx and Heathers
August 31st, 2010 by admin
I’d have to name my dancefloor highlight of the weekend as the RUNAWAY REMIX of ‘Click Shaw’ by Reporter. I promise no cliché this is an incredibly sexy record. A chilled, groove laden slab of House Music topped off with a very sultry vocal. Play this in the ear of the one you lust for [...]

Detboi, Cee-Lo and Efterklang

My Dubstep track of the week (had I even heard of Dubstep when I started this blog??) has gotta be what my sources tell me is a piece of Celtic-Step being as it is an Irish produced Dub track, albeit with a massive African flavour (have no fear they’re no cheesy riverdance vibes to this [...]

The Black Keys, Shad and LA Shark
August 24th, 2010 by admin
THE BLACK KEYS rock. It’s that simple. Born to do it as surely as Hendrix or Jack White. New album ‘Brothers’ is legally out there now and the big track for me is currently ‘Next Girl’. SHAD sounds like a man born to groove. Soul, funk and hiphop all flash their sexy selves in this [...]

The Ting Tings, Swedish House Mafia, Tinie Tempah and Harleighblu
August 20th, 2010 by admin
Couple of big tracks breaking over the last 24 hours THE TING TINGS are back with a new single although the album is apparently still some way off. Lapping up the electro vibes of their time in Berlin they look like they just might maintain that most unique of balancing acts of keeping it mainstream [...]

Fool’s Gold, The Neat and Anxieteam
August 17th, 2010 by admin
FOOL’s GOLD are not as my mate thought a tribute act for The Stone Roses, bless him. A gazillion miles away from any sonic whiff of Madchester nostalgia they are a totally on it bunch of West Cost Americans more Amazon rainforest than Widnesian Spike Island. Quite a big sound with significant lashings of Latina [...]

Fenech Soler, The Wombats and Grum
August 13th, 2010 by admin
A wee bit of internet research would imply it’s been released before but not quite made it, deservedly coming round for a second attempt to capture the attempt of muppets like me who missed it first time around I am loving ‘Lies’ by FENECH SOLER. Big, big guitar driven track but with the euphoric hands [...]

Maximum Balloon, Theophilus London, Rub Shebeen and The Naked And The Famous
August 10th, 2010 by admin
Ya gotta love the artist name MAXIMUM BALLOON. Great name for a band/ producer. With such fabulous artist naming talent hooking up with such a great voice the moment the concept of MB featuring THEOPHILUS LONDON was introduced to my conscious I was expecting big things. ‘Groove Me’ totally delivers. Big tune! There is an [...]
