Dels feat. Joe Goddard & Roots Manuva – Capsize (Entrepreneurs Remix)
I just wet myself when I got this in my inbox. It's amazing. Love Entrepreneurs as I'm sure you know already. Also love Dels too. In fact I love them all.
Gotye – Somebody That I Used To Know
Around 10 years ago Belgian-Australian multi-instrumentalist Wouter de Backer started making sample filled tracks that got the attention of Oz's Triple J radio. He's now better known as Gotye, released 3 albums and won a few ARIA's.
Eskmo
Brendan Angelides more commonly known now as Eskmo is an electronic experimental producer and recording artist based in San Fransico. His bleeptastic hip hop soundscapes are impressive monuments created with grit and dirt.
Dels
The musician come graphic designer from Ipswich, Dels is in a three album deal with Big Dada and can proudly include Hot Chip's Joe Goddard amongst his fans. He is, like Gil Scott-Heron, a real innovator. Dels is a musician who happens to rap.
Fishing – OOOO
A few (hundred) miles away from Melbourne, the home town of one of the greatest sample based bands in the world, The Avalanches, comes a new contender to their rarely contested throne. Fishing is the experimental electronic pop duo Russell Fitzgibbon and Doug Wright from Sydney. Like the Avalanches they make big beaty tunes that...
How Did I Miss This? Dan Black – Gorecki Fix Up My Girlfriend Some More
I'm shocked and appalled with myself for managing to miss this gem I just shuffled upon. Gorecki Fix Up My Girlfriend comes from Dan Black's mix tape Weird Science released last year.
Figure – The Werewolf Dubstep Mix
The adrenaline hit from watching horror films is not something I enjoy. Why spend a couple of hours stressing out. So do I like horror techno bassline dubstep tracks? Turns out I do. Figure, a.k.a. Josh Gard, from somewhere in the Midwest, USA is terrorising my Friday afternoon. Massive dub tracks all about Zombies and...
The Phantom Band
I have scouts around the world. I can kind of say that now, my reliable friend in Basel, Switzerland, gave me a shout out for The Phantom Band . Turned out to be a shout worth listening to.
Jessica Lea Mayfield – Tell Me
Jessica Lea Mayfield, a 21-year-old singer-songwriter, is forcing me to appreciate country music. Probably in the same way Sheryl Crow did, even Jessica's nonchalant vocal delivery remind me of the queen of alt-country-rock.
Jamie Woon – Night Air
Burial‘s amazing album Untrue from 2007 is one of my favourites, so when I heard the teaser of Jamie Woon‘s new song Night Air on singles club of the Guardian Music Weekly Podcast I began to salivate for more. Londoner Jamie Woon shows considerable talent on his first EP Wayfaring Stranger, he is a great...
Breakfast in Fur
The creative juices can flow at the worst times – I’ve irked many a neighbour at 3 in the morning perfecting a few bars of music. Maybe it’s the rush of adrenaline from the fear that an irate pyjama clad person may knock on my door and shoot my face off that can make late...
Gaggle
Choirs conjure up a tirade of stereotypes, usually involving grey hair and cups of 50p tea served in polystyrene. As a member of London Philharmonic Choir my liver can certainly prove we drink more Stella than PG Tips. Gaggle, the female alternative choir from London, are legions apart from crusty old veneer of group singing. They’ve...
