Booka Shade – Regenerate
February 23rd, 2010 | by Sim | published in Download
Booka Shade are one of my favourite artists and their second album, Movements, is probably in my top 10 electronic albums of all time. No-one makes dance music that is as equally suited in a club as a bedroom quite like they can. The German duo are making a return this year with a new [...]
Aeroplane February Chart Mix
February 23rd, 2010 | by Sim | published in Stream

Or dance your socks off. Depends where you are I guess. 01. Golden Bug : “Flamingo” 02. On The Prowl Presents OTP Party Breaks #1 : “Lifetime [...]
2010 so far…is amazing
February 17th, 2010 | by Jo | published in Download, Features, Stream
I’ve been a bit lazy on the posting recently. But this year’s musicians certainly haven’t. 2010 is already shaping up to match, if not better 2009 for music. I’ve already got some candidates for song/album of the year. And it’s only February. Here’s what’s been dominating my playlists lately. A cheeky bit of ‘Heligoland’ by [...]

Pure hilarity from Toddla T. I loved this guy as soon as Skanky Skanky dropped but he just keeps on giving!

Tinie Tempah – Pass Out
February 11th, 2010 | by Sim | published in Stream
Tinie Tempah, 21-year old rapper from London, is getting a fair bit of radio play with his latest single Pass Out, especially on Radio 1 after Zane Lowe declared it the ‘Hottest Record in the World’ in his usual over-enthusiastic manner. It is a damn good tune though. Debut album The Disc-Overy is due out [...]
Skream – Amity Step
February 11th, 2010 | by Sim | published in Stream
Really good, foreboding, lush dubstep effort from Skream.
The Golden Filter – Hide Me
February 10th, 2010 | by Sim | published in Download
I love it when artists give away free tracks. New York-based The Golden Filter have released their new single Hide Me as a free download from their site. Great news. Having already dropped some great remixes of Cut Copy, Empire of the Sun and Little Boots, we can’t wait for their LP to come out. [...]
