RUSTIE, L.A. SALAMI plus MAVERICK SABRE
September 7th, 2011 by admin
MAVERICK SABRE’s ‘I Need’ has been floating around the internet for a while but now he’s breaking through it’s getting the full ‘release works’. A really distinctive voice with hints of Plan B, Liam Bailey and what I imagine Amy Winehouse would have sounded like if she’d been a bloke. Penned for a mid-October release [...]

ECHO PARK, JOE GODDARD plus GROSS MAGIC
August 31st, 2011 by admin
‘Fibre Optic Lovin’ is the kind of track the word ‘dope’ was invented for. A chilled out funk groove complimented by a spot-on vocal I’m loving your work ECHO PARK. Respect! I’ve been most disrespectful towards JOE GODDARD, how ridiculous is it that it’s taken till now for me to remember to mention his awesome [...]

RONIKA, KOF plus THE INDICATORS
August 16th, 2011 by admin
We’ve often asked the great question of our time here on Brand Nu. Forget the riots, World Peace get to the back what I want to know is HOW THE FLYING FUCK IS RONIKA NOT FAMOUS YET? She has it all, she is a fully fledged world popstar ready to go, a great image and [...]

CHRIS TURNER, SKRILLEX plus LANA DEL REY
August 2nd, 2011 by admin
We need to have a natter bout some awesome slabs of New Music, and we need to have it pronto. Who is CHRIS TURNER? Are you familiar? I certainly wasn’t and how ignorant I now feel, it is one of the things I love about New Music, the thrill of the chase, and you’re always [...]

THEME PARK, WITH U plus THE RAPTURE
July 26th, 2011 by admin
I love ‘Wax’ by THEME PARK, love it. Never heard of the band before, know jack about them, absolutely love the track. It’s a unique song with quite an affected, almost ‘Antony and The Johnsons’ style vocal (at times) which is close to being really annoying but I really like, most of all I’m adoring [...]

HEDONIACS, CEREBRAL BALLZY plus WRETCH 32
July 19th, 2011 by admin
‘Can’t Tie Me Down’ by HEDONIACS is an explosion of sound, the equivalent of the money shot, sonic brilliance all over your face. You may hate it marmite style, that just makes me love it more. Speaking of musical money shots CEREBRAL BALLZY’s ‘Cutting Class’ is equally as Punk-Gasmic. Intense, wild, ferocious guitar music that [...]

TODDLA T & ROOT MANUVA, DRUGSTORE plus JAKE BUGG
June 15th, 2011 by admin
Me ears picked up a couple of big, big tracks this weekend, which implies some promiscuity on their part, having just had a word with them they prefer the term ‘open-minded’. On the Popular Music Culture vibe TODDLA T’s definitely making cross-over moves. Underground DJ, Mr Annie Mac and now the latest to follow Prof [...]

YOUNG KNIVES, MY MORNING JACKET plus SBTRKT
June 7th, 2011 by admin
YOUNG KNIVES brand new tune is so energising it’s the musical equivalent of some bound to be immediately made illegal half red bull/ half Viagra concoction. Uplifting stuff, literally. Are you pleased to see me? No I’m just listening to new Young Knives track ‘Human Again’. On a more laid back tip really feeling the [...]

TENSAKE, COLOURMUSIC plus THE 2 BEARS
May 31st, 2011 by admin
Dance Floor Bazooka Of The Weekend Award definitely goes to TENSNAKE, which in itself is going to stimulate something of a stewards enquiry cause you know how positively predisposed I am to anything that comes out of that DJ’s laptop set-up, it cud be wack and I’d still love it. ‘Something About You’ is definitely [...]

HHYMN, DELS plus BOY MANDIVILLE
May 25th, 2011 by admin
The debut album from HHYMN messes with my head in two main ways. Firstly I cannot fathom how this band are not better known, particularly in the Mumfordian Era we currently inhabit, we’re so much more open to folkier, less conventionally ‘bandy’ sounds. Secondly in the classic way of a great album, trying to decide [...]
