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.
Binko Swink – Patient
Lyla Foy and Dan Bell have made music under many various guises but when I saw them again this year with a new lineup, style and songs as Binko Swink, I was amazed at how much more I loved their music. Oh and you can also find out what my Grandma does with her dead...
Fitz & The Tantrums – Don’t Gotta Work It Out
My tune for the weekend is by Fitz & The Tantrums which I just came across at Mad Macrkel. Founded by Michael Fitzpatrick in L.A., this six piece are quickly becoming known for their soul tapping tunes
The Foreign Films – Lucky Streak
Out of Marjoros' songwriting skills and crunchy compressed vocals comes forth a mix of jangly 60's guitars, 80's new wave and soul bass riffs. It's a refreshingly infectious summery feeling that will hopefully take him as far as Japan.
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...
The Van Doos – Is This The One
Where have all the guitars gone? Not very far apparently. British rock has taken a slump recently, there’s nothing new getting too far, but lets hope that changes. We’re due a new pop rock band soon. Actually what was the last great pop rock band? Arctic Monkeys I guess. The Van Doos are a London...
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...
Radiohead – Lotus Flower – New Video
I’m sure you have heard, but if you haven’t Radiohead have just released their surprise new album The King Of Limbs. Here’s a sneak peak of whats on offer with their new video for Lotus Flower. Thom Yorke dances in it. A lot.
Silvermoths – Superhero
Time for some shameless self-promotion. Well sort of. I play cello in a folk/pop group called Silvermoths. I’ve been making music with lead singer and co-writer Emma Churchley along with guitarist Kaziu Gill for around 5 years now – and it just keeps getting better. Silvermoths started around a year ago, with my colleague Kate...
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.
