One of my favourite tracks of last summer appeared to come out of absolutely nowhere. ‘Pumped Up Kicks’ by Foster The People was an completely accidental find for me, which came out putting Hype Machine on random – One of the reasons I absolutely adore that site. (Check out my original post on the band [...]
Last Monday, I heard ‘Americano’ drop in a club I was in and actually felt a little ill. It may sound pretentious, but one thing I hate about the dance vs. mainstream music club culture is that you discover a song and 6-8 months later you’re still hearing it recycled by DJ’s that can be heard slurring [...]

“All I can picture is held hands, coming apart” One of the most beautiful tracks I’ve heard in a long, long time. “Knees” is from the ‘Clothes, Friends, Photos’ EP – which is set to be a beaut of a collaborative record featuring Peter Lyons and Kerry Leatham. We’re being promised 6 tracks, all home [...]
