When I’m Alone

Posted on Saturday, June 12, 2010 in Alternative, Video

A gem of an artist. Great voice but we do prefer the live version.

To Infinity And Beyond…

Posted on Thursday, June 10, 2010 in Electronica, Remixes

It’s a shame we haven’t had more football related content in the run up to the World Cup but we’ve been busy placing our bets on who will win the group games, perhaps we’ve missed a trick here or there.

Nonetheless here is another remix from Bachelors of Science and we like it. A lot.

It’s refreshing to have a remix that doesn’t feature their infamous Intro track!

Mahogany Minute…Andreya Triana

Posted on Thursday, June 10, 2010 in Mahogany Minute ©

I grew up…in South East London and later moved the Worcester in the midlands in my early teens. The move was a culture shock to say the least. I still don’t feel like a ‘grown up’, I think its a continuous and interesting process.

It all started when…I watched The Fresh Prince and discovered Boyz II Men!

If I’m not playing music you’ll find me…doing the robot and dreaming about jumpsuits.

I can’t perform unless I have…a bowl of pink M&M’s, ten white fluffy puppies, rose scented candles, a red carpet and a unicorn….NOT! The only reason I can’t sing is if I’m sleeping and even then I’m probably dreaming about it.

My three dream festival headliners would be…Montreal Jazz Festival, Glastonbury and Sonar.

You’ll always see me wearing…a smile on my face, some curly hair on my head and a jumpsuit.

I wish I hadn’t…missed the opportunity to crowd surf when we supported De La Soul at a gig recently. Oh I’m soooo gutted about that! Argh!!

If there’s one thing I’ve learnt it’s…to listen to yourself and completely respect your instinct by following it without fear.

Give me 10 minutes and I’ll cook a great…omelette!

Buy me a drink and I’ll…say thanks and drink it, but only if I know you.

I’m not really into Indie, but I do like Kings Of Leon

My favourite food is…food that is good for the mind, body and soul…that includes chocolate of the Green & Blacks variety. Yes that is very good!

My favourite smell is…my grandparent’s house, it smells like home.

My next release will be…a track called A Town Called Obsolete which will be released on the 26th of July 2010 on Ninja Tune Records before my debut album called ‘Lost Where I Belong’ drops in August.

Schoolin’

Posted on Wednesday, June 9, 2010 in Alternative, Remixes, Video

Two top notch remixes from the latest Everything Everything single but may we just say…what an amazing photo of the boys from Manchester!

It’s all about good visuals, both in videos and images, for a band. We all know the typical shot of a band on MySpace and it’s just shite.

The original track is wicked, very quirky and all over the place yet you don’t feel lost or dizzy at any point.

Mark Ronson Returns

Posted on Tuesday, June 8, 2010 in Pop/Rock, Video

Ever since Mark Ronson remixed Miike Snow’s Animal, he’s been on our ‘good books’ radar.

That’s not to say that he wasn’t a stand-out producer before because he’s got a seriously impressive CV but it simply wasn’t on our playlist until we heard the delights that the remix had to offer.

So we got all excited when we first heard the leak of the upcoming single Bang Bang Bang (featuring Q-Tip) and it’s fair to say we’re genuinely hyped up over the next album.

Now, Intel and Vice have recently teamed up to form a new media channel called The Creators Project and they’ve just updated it with an interview with Ronson and who plays some upcoming tracks and he gives a little sneak peak into his New York studio.

Check the video below and follow the link to  have a deeper look into The Creaters Project.

Southern Sun

Posted on Tuesday, June 8, 2010 in Electro/Dance

I’ve never been to Ibiza and but it is on my ever-growing ‘Do Before I’m 30′ list however the horror stories of £8 bottles of beer never cease to scare me. I’m also not massively into trance music however a little bootleg that we just received has got us wanting to book a ticket and head down there tonight.

We’re not huge fans of Paul Oakenfold but this remix by Azati and Big Al is a big summer dance tune.

We’ve Got Mail Vol. 4

Posted on Friday, June 4, 2010 in We've Got Mail

The sun is out in full swing in London so it’s time for a very large jug of Pimms and colourful cocktails but we can’t leave without dropping a nice chunk free track for you to download!

Killa Kela – Everyday (Q-BIK Remix)download

This Drum and Bass remix is solid. Shame the original didn’t kick off at all.

Angelique Kidjo – Move On Up (Radioclit Remix)download

If you caught her on Jools Holland, you’ll know how good for Curtis Mayfield cover is. This one packs a bit more a punch.

Delphic – Counterpoint (Doorly Remix) - download

Doorly hasn’t gone crazy on this one but there are some nice basslines if you’ve got the right speakers/headphones.

Let’s Colour

The new viral advert by paint company Dulux is extremely cool plus if you’re a Sigur Ros or Jonsi fan, you’ll appreciate the choice of song.
