MARCUS FOSTER, NATALIE DUNCAN plus MOON DUO
April 8th, 2011 by admin
I know this is a stupidly obvious thing to say about a singer but yep I’m going to say it anyway… with MARCUS FOSTER it is all about the voice. It’s got a gravel, an angst, an inner strength that could easily fall the wrong side of cliché but for me safely lands on the [...]

ROYAL GALA, CYMBALS plus DOORLY and UTAH SAINTS
April 1st, 2011 by admin
ROYAL GALA are immense live, absolutely immense. They come on stage and own it like they’re some posh Lord who’s had the stage in the family for 17 generations. And then there’s lead singer Lou’s catsuit and all-round modjo-tastic presence as engaging as any star around the world. Of the two tracks on their myspace [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

THE BULLITS, JAY ELECTRONICA, LUCY LIU, LCDMF and some band called ELBOW???
March 8th, 2011 by admin
Absolutely LOVIN this ‘Close Your Eyes’ track, just bare with me whilst I list the 534 different people involved in its creation. We have THE BULLITS as band/ producer, JAY ELECTRONICA on spitting duties and a very sultry vocal/ sample from LUCY LIU. Great song, petty they’ll have to sell about ten million downloads for [...]
