Monday Digest Vol. 11

A lot has happened in the past week across politics, sports and current affairs but it ended with a sad loss for the music industry and the world as a whole.

Robin Gibb of the Bees Gees lost his long battle to cancer yesterday at the age of 62 and tributes have been pouring in for what his describe as a “great sadness”. Despite being 24-years-old, the Bees Gees have always been prominent in my music library and their disco albums have influenced countless artists and producers.

Rest in peace from all at Mahogany…

The Bee Gees – Too Much Heaven

Hugely elaborate music videos with big name directors are nowhere near as effective or enjoyable as videos like this…

XXYYXX – About You

Leftside Wobble do a lovely classic edit on a regular basis and this reworking of Talking Heads’ ‘Once In A Lifetime’ will help get you through today!

Now onto an unsigned artist with a very early demo (apparently using Garageband), but it caught my ears as something and someone with a lot of potential and the video not half bad either. Betsy aka Jiggo relocated to London recently and will start work on new material with some exciting upcoming producers.  You heard her here first…

Jiggo – Replay
