March SoundCloud Playlist: With A New, Long Awaited Little Dragon Treat
I squealed a little the day “Klapp Klapp” by Swedish band Little Dragon was finally released. It only took one listen to convince me that their new album Nabuma Rubberband would follow suit and be a winner. Just making it in as the last track of the March SoundCloud playlist, Klapp Klapp delivers on all … Continue reading
February SoundCloud Playlist: 2 Obsessions, Andrew Ashong & Grandbrothers’ Ezra Was Right
2 tracks I’m obsessed with on this month’s SoundCloud playlist – the long awaited new Andrew Ashong track “Never Dreamed” and the epic “Ezra Was Right” by German duo Grandbrothers. Andrew Ashong’s smoky, soulful R&B sensibility references the oldies like Roy Ayers and Shuggie Otis while adding touches of modernity through his use of organic … Continue reading
January SoundCloud Playlist: With an unreleased one for the Jamie XX fans
Hoping everyone rang in the New Year with style and good music – I personally went to Boston to see DJ Kon perform a solid New Years Eve set! So lets start off the year with a nice January mix which ends with my favourite track of the moment, the unreleased “Sleep Sound” by Jamie … Continue reading
Best of 2013 SoundCloud Playlist: Cheers to Lion Babe, Disclosure, Rhye, Anushka and Kaytranada
2013 has clearly been a year of musical gems – too many to single any of them out but props definitely have to go out to some of those artists and producers who’ve made music that will remind me of a wonderful year gone by. Special shout outs to Lion Babe, Disclosure, Rhye, Anushka and … Continue reading
December SoundCloud Playlist: New from Fatima, Myron & E, Zara McFarlane & more
The December SoundCloud playlist has a track that I’ve personally been waiting for ever since 2010 when I became obsessed with Swedish-born UK vocalist Fatima who released some amazing musical collabs with the likes of Dam Funk and Funkineven. This month, Fatima working with London producer fLako (aka Dirg Gerner) release their single “Black Dough” … Continue reading
November Playlist: New tunes from Jungle, Toro Y Moi, SirOJ, Tirzah, Myron & E
Our November playlist kicks off with Jungle’s new track The Heat which should have you grooving to their wonderfully funky croons and fragmented drum beats that according to their music video, pair very well with synchronised roller skating breakdancing – who knew?: 2013 November Playlist: Jungle, Toro Y Moi, SirOJ, Tirzah, Myron & … Continue reading
October 2013 SoundCloud Playlist – New Rainy Milo and Yuna x Robin Hannibal
Found some musical gems in this month’s SoundCloud playlist. Pay special attention to 17 year old UK singer, Rainy Milo’s new track “Don’t regret me” and relish in her refreshingly London accented, hazy jazz infused hip-hop beats. Also take note of Eprom’s remix of Kendrick Lamar’s M.A.A.D. City – best heard as you work out … Continue reading
June 2013 Spotify Playlist – Rachel Sweet, The Beatnuts and a little music trivia
This month’s Spotify playlist is short and sweet. With a rather obscure and very sweet find that you’ll surely be fond of – Rachel Sweet’s, It’s So Different Here (sorry the puns just wrote themselves!) Recognise it? You probably heard it sampled on We Got the Funk by The Beatnuts – love a little bit … Continue reading
May 2013 SoundCloud Playlist – Koreless X How to Dress Well Plus New Disclosure, Cashmere Cat & more
Another big SoundCloud playlist for this month with a track for every single one of your moods. With May being so rainy this year hopefully you’ll be spending a lot of time gazing out of windows watching the rainy days go by while listening to Koreless’ remix of How to Dress Well’s track “Cold Nites”. … Continue reading
May 2013 Spotify Playlist – Romare does it again plus Toddla T, Pomrad, Nicolas Jaar and more…
Obviously slightly obsessed with Romare this month on both Spotify and SoundCloud. He is clearly an artist with some serious sampling skill. His track Your Love (You Give Me Fever) shows off that skill with some frenetic soul-heavy cuts from Peggy Lee’s “Fever” which is looped throughout the track. Enjoy! 2013 May: Romare, Toddla T, … Continue reading
April 2013 SoundCloud Playlist – Romare remixes Kodaline and makes it way better plus new Kaytranada, Four Tet & MeLo-X
Bit of a bumper SoundCloud playlist this month! There’s something in here for everyone including Kodaline fans. The original Kodaline track, High Hopes isn’t normally my cup of tea – a little too mainstream-radio-boy-band sounding for me – but London producer Romare has really made it his own by picking up the beat, cutting it … Continue reading
January 2013 SoundCloud Playlist – Disclosure X AlunaGeorge, London Grammar & more…
This is my soundtrack for the winter. As moody and introspective as you’d expect a winter playlist to be. Enjoy. 2013 January: Disclosure X Aluna George + Nai Palm X Taylor McFerrin: New year, new music LION BABE – Treat Me Like Fire London Grammar – Hey Now Disclosure – White Noise ft. AlunaGeorge Al … Continue reading
