HEIRLOOM

New Basenji: it's fun took me by surprise.

BROOKE

Taking quite a dramatic move away from her previous music, Brooke Fraser has released the first single of what will be her forth album. There's a whole lot of Banks feels in this one.

INTERVALS

I'm pooped; time to chillbang to the likes of this:

KISS

All I have to say about this Emile Haynie Track with Charlotte Gainsbourg, Devonte Hynes and Sampha is that is is pretty darn dramatic. In a good way..

25 August 2014

M83

Ahead of the reissue of M83's first three EPs today, Gonzales shared with us the eight minute clip to 'Before the Dawn Heals Us' closing track. As always, it's M83 artistry bliss.

SESSION

Seems like I've got myself into a bit of an afternoon session of dope music makers... Here is what's been spinning:



PRETEND

Golden girl Tinashe released the next single off her debut album 'Aquarius'. Featuring the chilled out side of A$AP Rocky. It's a lot of good feels.

22 August 2014

OFTEN

Here's the new clip for The Weeknd's 'Often'. Looks like it's all about how often Abel Tesfaye wears his XO Jacket maybe?


21 August 2014

SNAKEHIPS

Got stuck on the late shift at work last night but luckily I snagged some speakers and got down to Snakehips' 'Coming To America' Hypetrack Mix. It is so ridiculously jam packed with hits - definitely too good to not perve on the Tracklist.

WAFIA

Listen to this killer 'Let Me Love You' remake by Japanese Wallpaper pal WAFIA.

SLOW DANCER

If you have ever wondered what it is like to drive across Western Australian then I can certainly let you know that this is what it sounds like --> A little bit Atlas Mountains, a little more Shouting Matches and a whole lot of crashing after a long day of work.

BINGE #7

BINGE time take 7. This one's for the Sunday afternoons you don't quite know what to do with yourself, turning into nights of good friends and maybe some pulled pork.

PS. if you missed the memo on what these BINGE#s are for check out the guinea pig :)

LIFE

From The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, here is 'The Secret Life of Jose Gonzalez'.
Dawn is coming, open your eyes.

15 August 2014

BASENJI

Enjoying the weekend-eve sunshine and this mix by Basenji today.

STILL LIFE

Dawn Golden's title track 'Still Life' off of their album now has a music video - Similar sad vibes to my favourite Jon Waltz video but really pretty at the same time.

14 August 2014

GOLDEN PONY

Brooklyn Duo, Golden Pony remixed Outkast's 'Ms Jackson'. It's a cool new laid back take on the classic. Little bit of a Neon Indian vibe.. I am for REAL.

13 August 2014

GODWOLF

I really enjoy the music that comes out of GodWolf. I found them through a Japanese Wallpaper remix that I absolutely love. They are so great that they were recently signed with etcetc and this was the single that was released shortly after:

12 August 2014

B BRACKIN

Bobby Brackin's got it goin on with 'Hot Box'. Marketed as the perfect weekender, his track featuring Mila J and G-Eazy sounds way too much like Tinashe's 2 On - could be why I like it.

11 August 2014

WOLF TIDE

These guys sound like so many different artists and yet make completely unique sound. Welcome to the refreshing and intriguing genre blending that is Wolf Tide.

FLOW FI

Flow Fi doesn't miss a beat. This guy seriously. Man oh man everything he produces is gold. Trust me on this. Check out his latest Frankie-sampled slice of ear heaven.

10 August 2014

IBEYI

These sisters are damn impressive. Not only do their voices rock, but that rhythm section is amazing. Ibeyi's music video is pretty cray too.

VIC MENSA

Vic Mensa released a killer track produced by one of my favourites: Kaytranada. 'Wimme Nah' is a very easy listen.


09 August 2014

DEAD TIMES

It's not often that you find yourself wholly satisfied with the new sounds an artist is making. Dead Times' answer to the chilled out rnb wave is wonderful. I love this stuff. And I am very excited to to have it in my ears.

LP1

The debut album that every music/arts/culture blog/news/reviewer on the interwebs has been anticipating. (At least it seems like that in my world) FKA Twigs released her album LP 1 today just a year and a half after her debut EP 1. Imma stream it till the sun comes up.


"I love another, and thus hate myself"

08 August 2014

WTC

All members (still kickin) in Wu-Tang Clan turned up on The Daily Show to premiere their comeback single 'Ron O'Neal'. Looking forward to more releases in November.

06 August 2014

SAFIA

Here is Safia covering one of my favourites.  This 'Cavalier' remake is just a magical as James Vincent McMorrow's original. Now to go stare at the stars for a while.

ESTA

Another great remix by Esta is coming your way. Here's to groove-couch vibes with Brandy's 'I Wanna Be Down'.

05 August 2014

DUSTY FEATHERS

Found this super chilled out A$AP Rocky remix. Dusty Feathers has definitely spun this hectic number on its head - This 'Wild For The Night' Remix has a completely different vibe to the original but has just as much steez.

RAE MORRIS

Rae Morris and her friend Fryars made a very cool video clip to their track 'Cold'. I love the colours, the setting and the simplicity; plus look how in sync they all are!

04 August 2014

FLAWLESS

Yes, the remix the internet has gone a little loco over. Beyonce and Nicki Minaj team up to reshape the (in my opinion) best track of Beyonce's latest album, 'Flawless'. Spot the parts where B speaks up about that 'escalator incident' and Minaj reiterates her stand against homegirl Iggy. This is my jam.

MELLOWHYPE

Left Brain and Hodgy Beats have released their wicked fun new Mellowhype track "FIFAFOFUM!". They look like they are having a bit too much fun.

03 August 2014

GET ON UP

The James Brown biopic is coming out, and to celebrate Pete Rock released a James Brown Tribute Mix. Have a read of how Brown became his childhood hero.
35 minutes of soul/hip hop love making.

SAM SMITH

Sam Smith's "I'm Not The Only One" not has an unbelievably good music video directed by Luke Monaghan. Check out the stellar performances below.
