Eyes Down
New track from Bonobo is subtly beautiful.
Very excited about the upcoming album.

Blue Boy
The 90’s backbeat and soulful vocals make for a song that never fails to get an atmosphere going. Be it in an office, bar or park in the summer.
Blue Boy aka Lex Blackmore sampled Marlena Shaw’s Women Of The Ghetto to produce the 90s hit.
Proper modern classic.

Naked For Life
Fink has just put out a ‘new’ track that never made his most recent album so he’s kindly decided to give it away for free!
Naked For Life has all the elements that make a perfect Fink track so the fact it didn’t make the final tracklisting for Sort of Revolution surprises us a little. Maybe it just didn’t seem right at the time.
Biscuits For Breakfast and Distance and Time and are both on my desert island disc collection.

Breakage Your Face
Florence is on top of the world at the moment -- one of our first ever posts saw the fiery redhead perform for Steve Lamacq and since then she’s gone from strength to strength to strength.
We heard Breakage’s remix a while back but didn’t want to post anything unless it was at the highest quality so here it is.
Breakage’s seemingly simple yet aggresive approach to this remix builds and builds without digressing from too much from the original arrangement but still adding a much-needed punch in the face.
As for Breakage himself -- the long awaited debut album, Foundation, will see another dubstep aficionado break through into the big spotlight.

Kidztomania
All I remember in music class when I was young was Frère Jacques and Kumbaya but it seems like that’s all about to change.
Gregg Breinberg and his class of New York kids aka PS22 Chorus have taken music or choir class to a whole new level. By adopting popular songs that most of the pupils know, they’ve added a new lease of life on a dying mandatory curriculum class and become an internet sensation at the same time.
Phoenix’s stand-out track from their last album is their latest project which you can watch below and we think it’s really really nice.
Who knows what’s next for PS22 Chorus but the sky’s the limit. Surely.

Mahogany Minute with Kyla la Grange
I grew up…in Watford (just outside London) in a house full of South Africans, Zimbabweans and a big hairy alsatian dog.
It all started when…my parents bought me a violin. I hated it and refused to practise, but realised i loved music more than anything. Later on they bought me a guitar instead.
If I’m not playing music you’ll find me…going for a long run or putting on a one-man disco in my room.
I can’t perform unless I have…no shoes on and a glass of whisky.
My three dream festival headliners would be… Cat Power, Bright Eyes and Elliott Smith (it’s a dream so you can bring people back to life).
You’ll always see me wearing…clothes. Unless the day is hot and uninhibited.
I wish I hadn’t…cracked my little brother’s head open on the bathtub when we were little. (He’s ok now).
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt it’s…If you ever see a whole tiramisu left on the side of the road, definitely pick it up and definitely eat it.
Give me 10 minutes and I’ll cook a great…Moussaka. Though actually it takes about 2 hours.
Buy me a drink and I’ll…possibly forget to buy you one later.
I’m not really into Country, but I do like Dolly Parton.
My favourite food is…scrambled eggs and beans on toast.
My favourite smell is…caramelised nuts being roasted. quite specific.
My most recent release is…a free download of Vampire Smile!
