Erm, massive tune. An epic intoduction, eluding away from a hint towards drum and bass, the strings soothe and calm whilst soulful undertones and a mesmorising vocal help one float. All quite easily achieved and then amplified by rolling another fat one. Keep an eye out for Calibre's 7th album out November 15th (vinyl) and November 22nd (digital).Enjoy.Label: Signature Records

What appropriate timing to make an entrance to The Warehouse Project, a definitive moment of the night for many I’m sure, that of Joy Orbison’s 'Shrew That Cushioned The Blow' mixed wonderfully into ‘Hyph Mngo’. Nice. And no better does it sound than in this moment right now, surrounded by mash-faced revellers and stunning lasers that silhouette arms twist shapes for. As the night’s progressing,

Southern Fried Records release an EP from a couple of bears, who after listening to this EP, don't emit any kind of cuddliness. Though Hot Chipper Joe Goddard isn't a stranger to them hypothetical cuddles, having encompassed a strict following from Hot Chip fans. A fine release, take a listen, and a buy. Enjoy.

Dark and rhythmic, this latest effort from the Scandinavian duo (moonlighting from their dayjobs as members of the Danish band When Saints Go Machine) eases in with a gradually layered chorus of manipulated vocal samples, before settling into a glossy and intoxicating beat. Only the Scandinavians, it seems, have the ability to make music so simultaneously positive and morose, up beat and down

It's been a nice week for Manchester with lots going on culturally; Manchester Lit Festival, Blog Awards, launch of the Levenshulme Festival and of course the Oxjam Takeover. It will take place in various venues across Manchester, so the best thing to do is check out the blog or the myspace page for more info. It's for a fantastic cause so try and get down to at least one event fellow Mancs!

‘The Cycle’ is yet another release to feature the vocal talents of Riya who has quickly established herself as the go-to girl for many leading producers such as 8bits and Total Science... and now Skream. Taking time away from the juggernaut that is Magnetic Man, Skream has taken his foot off the pedal with this release using Riya’s beautifully soft and soothing voice to create a track that could

Manchester’s two premier dance music events The Warehouse Project (WHP) and Parklife have rightfully been nominated for UK Festival awards. And Manchester wants your votes!WHP is up for ‘Best Metropolitan Festival’ and Parklife is up for ‘Best New Festival’. It’s a fitting tribute that a city steeped in such a rich musical heritage should have its two foremost dance music offerings acknowledged

Camo & Krooked tear it up on our Tune Of The Week with this disgustingly dirty track off the highest of shelves. 'Can't Get Enough' is a relentless onslaught of drum and bass majesty which bulldozes itself through speakers before smashing the room to pieces. With each drop the crunchiest of synths detunes for your pleasure over the simplest of string licks, whilst some euphoric piano work

A very sultry, deep tune, vocally orientated - something incredibly nocturnal about this track. 'Feel that night air/flowing through me' - it's rather eerie too how this electroacoustic tune falls somewhere between relaxation and psychotic insomnia. Beautiful nonetheless. Much like his other Fink-like productions, he's definitely worth checking out and one to watch. Enjoy.Link: official //

If there's an urge to label this tune under any specific genre because that's what we as humans feel the need to do, then welcome to a little bit of 'future garage'. A very cool tune presented by Kode9 (Steve Goodman), or the big chief at label Hyperdub.Enjoy.

This is a beautiful, beautiful track by Canadian Chilly Gonzales (Jason Charles Beck), taken from latest album Ivory Tower.Jason has showcased his piano playing skills through previous releases, most noteably his 2004 album Piano Solo that details a novel narrative through the power of those black and white keys. There's no surprise to his flawless instrumental talent as he started playing piano

This was released in February 2010 on the Baby I'm Yours EP. With Daft Punk vocal distortion, a funk-soul upbeat melody and relaxing piano, the distinctness of Breakbot's sound is ever so refined.Enjoy!Released: Feb 2010Label: Ed Banger / Because Music

I'm a tad depressed that I've only found la Zebra recently - and I've missed out. But fear not, I tell myself, it's never too late to find good music. This California one-man-artist translates our gloomy British view of California through the ray of sunshine beats upheld in this tune - a sort of Daft Punk crossed with the older work of Armand Van Helden, but by no means any less individual.

As found on Annie Mac Presents, these former history geeks lay forth yet another blinding single, set for release in November. The intro is an aqua-syrup concoction and forms a distinct and generically indefineable TEED sound, with lyrics that make apparent the aim of easing up the sadness of a lost soul (forgive me if I'm wrong/but you look sad all alone/so give me a shot/cuz i could be/a dog to

One half of production duo Velour and Bristol resident Julio Bashmore is back with his third solo release Chazm/Footsteppin’ on Ten Thousand Yen Records. First up is 'Chazm' which sees Julio step into his funky shoes, starting off with a kicking 4/4 bass drum riddled with hand claps and tribal drums.
