Leif Knowles - Dinas Oleu (Album)

If it took this guy 10 years in the music business to finally

drop an album, that shit better be bonkers. Luckily, this 

deep house beauty is worth the wait. 

DJ/Producer Leif Knowles has crafted a lush majestic journey

with 'Dinas Oleu' out now via Fear of Flying. This

is house music littered with orchestral flourishes, 

natural sounds, reverb, oddly rooted in ambient

downtempo chillout.

The engineering/production through out is a marvel.

It's not every time a mix just breathes like this.

Disclosure - Latch (DJ Premier Remix)

Disclosure's 'Settle' was one of the biggest dance/electronic 

albums of 2013. Not long since they announced that

they would be dropping a remix album, that we get hit

with, of all people, - DJ Premier's contribution.

Nothing else to say. It's DJ Premier.

Tinashe - Vulnerable (feat. Travi$ Scott) [VIDEO]

Tinashe just hit us with a third mixtape - Black Water,
to round out Reverie and In Case We Die,
both generally well received.
 Over a Boi-1da twilit trap soundscape, Tinashe
tells how she will get you in a vulnerable...position.

G.O.O.D. Music artist Travi$ Scott drops by
at the end and absolutely slaughter's
his verse.

It's up there for a rap and R&B collab.

AZEKEL - In The Zone '13

Your whiskey you will do neat but you'd like your R&B

with a twist. Fair enough, how about a Nigerian born

London based velvet voiced crooner? Moist yet?

Good. Say hi to AZEKEL.

Off his just released Circa EP via Generator and THNDR

LGHTNG Recordings, this cut is a slice of spacey soul

led by a subtle guitar riff, intergalactic synths and his

ridiculously smooth vocals.

Miguel, the Weeknd and all 'em better watch out....

Aluna George-Outlines

Fans of Disclosure or any London female vocalist over electronic loungey down-tempo beats will love this.  A painful, joyful, cliche-ful get over the person you were seeing. Let it go.

It's not like a déjà vu 
And it's not an illusion 
But sometimes I feel you through 
All the confusion 

It doesn't always make me feel sad 
But it never really makes me feel glad 
Because all the good times we had could never be back 

Caspian - (Hymn For) The Greatest Generation

Caspian, the instrumental post rock band from MA, fell upon
tough times recently with the passing of their bassist Chris Friedman
on Augusts 25. In the wake of that misfortune, they are prepping
the release of their new EP 'Hymn For The Greatest Generation'
teasing us with this majestic tune by the same name.

Their last album was voted Best Post Rock Album of 2012

by SPIN. Clearly, mourning or not, they have not lost a step,
taking us on a contemplative seven minute journey with
twinkling guitars slathered in reverb and decay, building gently
till they give way to the sweetest of sweeping strings.

Tom Neville & Zen Freeman featuring Aaron Paul - Dance Bitch

Now and then we all indulge in a novelty item, no matter

how frugal you are...or not. But what if that novelty item

was a song? A song that reminded us of the countless

hours we spent tracking the exploits of Walter and Jesse

from AMC's 'Breaking Bad'. Don't we need reminders

even more in the absence of what once was? 

Alright maybe this transcends being a novelty item.

While he was not always responsible or reliable, 

Jesse Pinkman could be counted on to expel the expletive

'bitch' with comforting regularity. Well, Tom Freeman and

Zen Freeman knew he would come through, to yell 

at you, several times over the course of this surprisingly

enjoyable electro-house joint -

"DANCE!..........bitch."

Here's proof that every club night needs a Jesse Pinkman.
