“This Dawn is the first release from hotly tipped London based producer/singer Alby Daniels, due out 20th February on Black Acre Records who recently released Hyetal’s acclaimed LP Broadcast.

BJ the Chicago Kid caught my attention a few months back with a Kendrick Lamar featured track, ‘His Pain’ that absolutely blew me away.

One of the most powerful musical combinations to me is a really talented female vocalist paired with heavy drums and bass. Made In Heights brings that sound to a new dimension with tricky vocal effects and incredibly complex drum programming. Formed of DJ/producer Sabzi and New York-based vocalist Kelsey Bulkin, this duo is one of…
I’m not sure exactly how I cam across Patrice & Friends but somehow I got ahold of ‘Cashmere Sheets’ and it found it’s way into my car. What happened next was some of the most vigorous dancing-while-driving I’ve ever taken part in. On lookers were definitely concerned about their safety as I was probably swerving…
Earlier this week Jessie Ware came through with ‘Running’, her first video and track of the new year. I saw a tweet yesterday that compared it to her and Sade having sex inside a synthesizer.
