Jake Gyllenhaal went to Alibi and killed some east London kids. (more importantly, what i wanna know is did he go to Ali Baba after he was done?). The Shoes are dope. maybe one of the most energetic bands i’ve ever seen.

pretty sure ‘Ex-Factor’ is one of the greatest songs of all time on one of the best debut solo albums to have ever been made. just a couple of reasons that miiiiight ward people off covering said song. but not London’s San Zhi. featuring production from Sam Duckworth and The Shoes, the duo have been tucked away for quite some time making tender spaced out pop.

this has been in my damn head since PinBoard posted it last week. “you make me malfunction”. an absolutely thunderous strand of UK funky from London’s T. Williams.
I Tried So Hard from Night Works on Vimeo.
whoooo arrrreeee yooou? i don’t know a single thing about Night Works (apart from the fact that i do now know some things), but this snippet is giving me good good feelings.

oh wow. Mister Lies does it again. ‘I Walk’ is subtle, ethereal, warm.. the build up on this track is wonderful. a lovesong between mythical angels from the deep.
‘Kingdoms’ is released on 6th March via 100% Silk. hypnotic bouncy bass from London producer Fort Romeau. have to admit that i don’t buy too many vinyl albums, but this one is already on pre-order. pick it up here.
wish i was in Nina Sky.
the Surrey set strikes again. Colo release EP ‘Midday Sun’ via Take Records on March 12th.

“A swingy 909 house track with 3 movements. The intro slowly rolls out based around some Rhodes chords and a 101 melody. The middle builds pads upon more and more melodies. The final section features the 303 plodding its’ way to the end. Some vocal melodies and spitting OB-8 arpeggios hold everything together.”
hello Monday. hello Iron Galaxy.

Arthur Beatrice unleash ‘Midland’. the first single from the band is out digitally in March and released on 12” in April. sophisticated pop at its best.
there are just a few remaining advance tickets for the show next week at The Victoria, London, grab one now! and keep your eyes peeled for more live dates.
new Santigold is on the way. and if it all sounds like this, the year just got a lot more exciting. i can feel a perfect summer soundtrack coming on.

gorgeous work from Mister Lies. the Chicago producer creates atmospheric, warm and delicate electronic sounds. not for the dancefloor, but definitely worthy of the repeat button. his soundcloud page might state “this music is not the truth” but i beg to differ. via the ever reliable Music Fan’s Mic.

HELLOoooooooo. Usher + Diplo = Climax. seriously need more futuristic slow jamz like this in my life now please. happy Valentine’s! ♥

absolutely love this. Canada’s Tezeta makes colourful, reverb laden electronic pop that sounds like it’s been drenched in sunshine.
