New track from Bonobo is subtly beautiful.

Very excited about the upcoming album.

Blue Boy

Posted on Thursday, March 11, 2010 in Electronica, Soul/R&B

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.

Stop And Stare

Posted on Thursday, March 4, 2010 in Electronica, Pop/Rock

It’s a rare(ish) and incredibly warm feeling when you hear a song that instantly clicks with you.

Just had that amazing spine-tingling experience with Fenech-Soler’s upcoming single.

With Kitsune written all over them, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this will be the band for 2010.

Outstanding.

Around The World…

Posted on Thursday, February 25, 2010 in Dubstep, Electronica, Remixes

We receive a ton of music from a huge array of artists all the time and we always feature what really grabs our attention.

The nice thing in many cases is that there is very little information about the artist/producer provided so there’s no space to make judgements – it’s the purest form of digestion and the best way to listen to new music. Reading a biography, looking at press shots or their homepage can dilute (if only slightly) judgments and opinions.

Mr Fogg dropped us his new single this week which has been remixed by the dubstep man of the hour Jakwob. It’s a beautifully leftfield and alternative dubstep remix and I’m about to go and listen to more Fogg!
