Lovers Love Haters
If like me you were saddened when The Organ broke up you must have been ecstatic when they released the final E.P ‘Thieves’ this year. But after you’d played that on repeat over and over again I’m guessing the realisation that there would be no further releases hit you also and you found yourself wondering [...]

Kids In The Pet Shop
I was a little puzzled when I heard about this..but intrigued none the less. Pet Shop Boys remixing MGMT? Surely not…
But yes, its true. The legendary synthpop duo have lent their skills to one of the tracks of the year ‘Kids’ and not just with one remix either..but two. I must admit, the ‘Abstrakt mix’ [...]

Hello There Mozart
Today’s another one of those days where I think its about time I bigged up an incredibly talented young chap I know.
His name is Jason Bradbury and if you’ve had the pleasure of catching him DJ before you’d know him as Hello Mozart. One of the main visions behind pioneering Bournemouth club night Big In [...]

I Got You Dancing
I’m a little bit behind of late, planning for Christmas is a time consuming task so it seems. I’m not going to lie though, I’m starting to get incredibly excited. About Christmas of course, but also about the amount of long awaited new releases planning to be dropped in 2009.
Lady Sovereign, for me, is topping [...]

Carny Punk
Over the last year or so I’ve learnt a valuable lesson. The curriculum consisted of the following statement. ‘Whatever Punks Jump Up touch, and by touch we mean remix, turns to pure gold’. I challenge you to prove me wrong.
Some tracks of course are already gold. ‘Carny’ by the fantastic mock-chav, dance routine extraordinaires Man [...]

London Loves Cola
From what I can tell from his Myspace page, 20 year old Cambridge lad KiD Cola seems relatively new to the music scene. Everythings quite minimal, we learn about a new night hes starting with a friend in Cambridge, a couple of tracks are up and that’s about it. Because of this my initial gut [...]

BEST OF 2008
The time of year has come. No, I’m not talking about Christmas, I’m talking about the end of the year. The time of year we get to look back on the musical releases of the past twelve months, put our geek hats on and debate our favourites.
I tend to disagree with the majority of lists [...]
