As We Enter Remixed
We haven’t featured old Georgie boy for a while, nor have we heard any decent remixes of the first single from the rap and reggae legends – so when he got in touch with a spanking new remix, we had a big smile on our face.
This one’s moving away from the filthy dubstep that he’s well known for and into something a bit more dancefloor.

Freestylers
Almost all of us can tell whether or not we like a song after the first 10 seconds and this Freestylers remix by UK-based Kouncil House had a beat and tempo that instantly chimed with us.
Let’s see whether it chimes with you.

Paper Swords
It’s been a while since we’ve had anything really really tranquil on Mahogany.
The wonderful Lanterns on the Lake were the last band we can remember so we welcomed Paper Swords with open arms this week.
Describing themselves as ‘orchestral folk-rock’, these Southern Californian quintet is just what we needed to calm out nerves (and bets) during the World Cup group games.

Yuill Love This
We saw James Yuill support Frank Musik at the Stables in Camden a few years back and it’s now crystal clear which artist has succeeded.
The Moshi Moshi artists second album is almost out and the video to the first single has just dropped and this may be the first album of the summer that we’re genuinely excited about.
Discussing genres is a tricky affair and it’s impossible nowadays to pin artists like Yuill down to a specific one. We’re just going to say it’s a brilliant single with splashes of credible pop magic throughout.
