India versus Pakistan
March 30th, 2011 by admin
Man U v Liverpool whatever? Madrid v Barca get to the back. India v Pakistan now there is a sporting rivalry. In the UK (well England we’ll touch on the Scots in a mo) we get our knickers in a twist about local rivalries, long-standing rivalries but nothing touches on the Big I versus the [...]

JUSTICE, AXWELL and HOLLIE COOK
March 29th, 2011 by admin
I love electronic music. I particularly love French electronic music (in a good way I’m not some kind of music racist) and I particularly, especially, adore anything evolving out of the studios of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay (Mr and Mr JUSTICE). I also quite like my Addidas sneakers so will allow what otherwise [...]

FRIENDLY FIRES, TYLER THE CREATOR and OLIVER TWIST REMIX of DON DIABLO
March 25th, 2011 by admin
I have a lot of time for FRIENDLY FIRES. They nail they whole Dance Rocks, Indie Meets Rave thing that may sound clichéd conceptually but sonically I adore. ‘Live Those Days Tonight’ is a great New Music return that promises much from their second album, yes I am counting the days till it’s May 16th [...]

March 23rd, 2011 by admin
So the Chancellor in seeking to lead the ‘greenest government ever’ and simultaneously save the British motorist has done……. Well jack really. This is without doubt the ‘meh budget’. It’s headline my friend? A 1p reduction in fuel duty. Yes I said 1p. That’s right crack open the champagne, press the ebay button on that [...]

FOSTER THE PEOPLE, MATT AND KIM plus THOM YORKE, 4TET and BURIAL
March 22nd, 2011 by admin
You know I love FOSTER THE PEOPLE. Catch me in the right mood and I’ll tell ya they made my fav tune of 2010. They are back, I was worried, how could they possibly live up to ‘Pumped Up Kicks?’ ‘Helena Beats’ is a very different tune, it’s not another PUK, but it is a [...]

YOUNG KNIVES, KING CREOSOTE AND JON HOPKINS plus WIZ KHALIFA
March 18th, 2011 by admin
I’m feeling the new track from YOUNG KNIVES. A real jaunty piece of tuneage, there’s something almost hiphop apart this slab of indie pop. And then’s the random electronic ‘bow, bow, bow’s that sound like the birthchild of a fisher price keyboard’s love affair with a raunchy Barbie Doll. Check ‘Love My Name’. A God [...]

Where Not To Build A Nuclear Power Station
March 16th, 2011 by admin
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, it’s impossible not to be influenced by it. But I like to think if I found myself in charge of the ‘where can we build our potentially lethal nuclear power station’ department I would pose the question ‘You’re not planning to build it in an earthquake zone are you?’ ‘What’s [...]

RIZ MC, MIKE DELINGUENT PROJECT and BATTLES
March 15th, 2011 by admin
I have a lot of time for RIZ MC. I’m clearly never going to be the most objective judge of his tunes, thing is ‘All In The Ghetto’ doesn’t just nail it as a tune, it nails it as a tune, a social commentary AND a cheeky vid. The guy is a genius. Great harmonies [...]
