Gorillaz do iTunes session
October 27th, 2010 | by Jo | published in Stream
Gorillaz have followed a number of bands to recently record a live session for iTunes. Strangely not choosing to promote their latest non-album single ’Doncamatic (All Played Out)’, Damon Albarn opted to go mainly for Plastic Beach standouts and a couple of classics in between. Just like Beach House’s in August, this session sounds great. [...]
New remixes from Jakwob and Ramadanman
October 27th, 2010 | by Sim | published in Download, Stream
Dubstepper and remixer extraordinaire Jakwob returns to our ears with a remix of Jessie J’s Do it Like a Dude. She can do like the man dem. Jessie’s lyrics and voice suit the bassy direction Jakwob has taken this track and shows yet again the talent he has at transforming pop into A-class dancefloor material. [...]
New Digitalism – Blitz
October 25th, 2010 | by Jo | published in Stream
We brought you the trailer a few weeks ago. This time it’s the real deal. Digitalism return with ‘Blitz’ and they have truely delivered.

October 25th, 2010 | by Ollie | published in Moving Mondays, Stream
This weeks video is a corker! James Blake is the subject of plenty of hype at the moment, this stunning cover of Feist’s ‘Limit to Your Love’ is just one of the reasons why. Oh and the video isn’t bad either, Martin de Thurah, a man who has previously worked with Royksopp and Fever Ray, [...]

Oliver Portamento & Alex Powell make up The Squatters, a new UK electro outfit that’s smashing up dancefloors across the country right now on Kissy Sell Out’s San City High tour. They took a moment to answer some of the Hotcakes baker’s pressing questions:
Penguin Prison – Golden Train
October 23rd, 2010 | by Sim | published in Download
New York’s Penguin Prison has got a new single out next month and we’ve been given one of the remixes early as a special treat. It’s by The Royal Palms and sounds a lot like Aeroplane. Which is a good thing. Obviously. The package also includes remixes from Jakwob, Chad Valley, Diskjokke and Kim Fai. [...]
Jeuce – Kiss + remixes
October 22nd, 2010 | by Sim | published in Download, Stream
New stuff from Jeuce in the form of new single Kiss. One of the things that makes Jeuce standout is that despite producing dubstep tracks, they sound like a band with a lead singer, not a featured artist. Whether this makes them more ‘popstep’ than dubstep is up for debate but that’s really not very [...]
3D Professor Green video for Coming To Get Me
October 22nd, 2010 | by Sim | published in Stream
This is cool. No not the video above, that’s the 2D version. I mean this one. Yes, 3D is upon us and Professor Green has made what is probably the first every 3D music video. Ok, so it’s not actually 3D but you can move around the camera to look at whatever you want during [...]
