MILA

Nathan — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 00:56:05 +0000

I’d love to have a song named after me. I’d love even more to have a really great, dance-inducing electro-pop instant classic like this named after me. This lucky bitch has, for which I’ll be eternally jealous. D/R/U/G/S has made what just seems like an effortless crowd-pleaser to me, I mean c’mon, such free-flowing positivity oozes out of this song that it’d seem a waste to not get up and dance along. Download it below, then have a rave or summin’.

I WANT TONITE

Nathan — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 00:23:08 +0000

Barcelona native John Talabot steps behind the mike for “I Want Tonite”, a new track for an upcoming release on the city’s Hivern Discs label. A compelling, foot-shaking back beat and bassline set this track up magnificently, whilst Talabot’s vocals sound like the soul of the night itself. Mechanical sounding, I can’t help but picture some kind of noir-ish backdrop for this to soundtrack, a Neo-Barcelona if you will, where neon spires light up a dark city but don’t diminish it’s catalan spirit. Check out the track below.

DOLDRUMS

Nathan — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 00:44:51 +0000

The latest demo by those purveyors of lovely melodic lo-fi ditties, Fear of Men, is as delightful as you’d expect. A song which causes, in fact, the complete opposite of it’s title, “Doldrums”. Yep, there’s a pinch of the old melancholia floating around but it doesn’t hinder the simply enticing quality that the song holds down. No better time to embrace.

WICKED GRAVITY

Nathan — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 20:10:19 +0000

Here’s the latest track off of Sunless ’97’s forthcoming EP, Making Waves. It sounds like a burst of technicolor, spread thin across an aging canvas; the vocals more a soft plead rather than euphoric chant. Yet, despite a little melancholy, it’s just as enchanting as their last track, “Illuminations” and is more than enough to get me excited for the record’s release. Check it out below.

The launch party also features the live debut of other blog-favourite, Palmistry, RSVP here.

DADDY

horrorshowlewi — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 16:55:42 +0000

Emeli Sande’s Daddy Remix EP is set to drop 27th November, with remixes from Fred V & Grafix, Disclosure, Third Party, Cyantific and Ifan Dafydd, it looks to be a corker. With Ifan Dafydd’s remix already circulating through the internet (and leaving considerable awe in its path), Disclosure has revealed their take on the RnB track, and in theme with the rest, its killer.

The pulsing off beat synth, pounding bass, and swirling hiss, take Emeli Sande’s voice and create something fresh, and crisp. When the bass comes in mid-way through the track, I felt an urge to get out of my chair and jump. A second coming of the beat is introduced with hard hitting thumps at 2.45, like something I can’t quite describe. I don’t like to use the word “big”, but if that was to be applied to this remix, it certainly would be justified.

Forthcoming on Virgin, 27th November, make sure you check out the other remixes too.

THRONE

Nathan — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 18:58:09 +0000

Wow. Just, like wow. Demo material from mysterious rcsa here is sounding amazing. A pleading, begging vocal set against a dank, isolating back-beat make this track nothing but a compelling and deathly addictive mix. I’ve had it on repeat for the last half an hour or so, as if something has just clicked in the back of my head, I’m sat here longing for more.

NO REAL REASON

Nathan — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 01:16:25 +0000

White Denim, a band who I’ve loved for years, are putting out a new EP, Takes Place In Your Work Space” and have lovingly gave away this delightful track, “No Real Reason”. It’s a slow-building and melodious song, a really strong piece, featuring a mind-blowing freestyle/solo ending that as well as being incredibly brilliant, showcases a band who really can’t go wrong.

DOGG DOGG

Nathan — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 00:03:24 +0000

Blog-favourites FAMY today announced the release of their debut 12″, out December 5th, on Fifi. “Dogg Dogg” is the adorable and heartfelt b-side, that builds into a crescendo of emotion, a track that somehow sounds simultaneously fragile and overbearingly loud. There’s a beauty to it missing from a lot of their contemporaries, a quality that earmarks them out for the future. Check out the other track “Mother Benita”, here.

After seeing them live at SWN Festival a few weeks back, I can confirm this track was a definite stand-out, you should catch their last free show at Vyner Street on the 3rd Nov (Tomorrow/Tonight depending on when you read this).

GREY SHIRT AND TIE

Nathan — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 16:02:54 +0000

I unashamedly adore Spector, the Dalston band in their sunday best that make some pretty emphatic anthems for the bros out there. This latest single, a big-hitting staple of their great live set, is a bit more understated than their previously released work, yet it tugs at those heart-strings all the same. Check it below.

The single’s out on Luv Luv Luv December 5th and the band play my local Kingston tomorrow (3rd Nov) at New Slang.
