Hotcakes’ Albums of 2011
January 3rd, 2012 | by Jo | published in Features, Stream, Ticker
Another year, another astonishing array of releases to get you through January to December. But where last year had some very clear cut winners across the board (from the likes of Arcade Fire, Kanye West and LCD Soundsystem), this year has not appeared so obvious.

Back in August, we covered Ghostpoet doing a pop-up session for Last.fm and HP. We did this because we love Ghostpoet and now another artist we love, namely DELS, has done one too. Above is the video from the session which includes a fairly insightful interview with the man himself where he discusses performing in [...]

Looping a sax through the first verse, then emphasising the bass [...]

If you come by here often you’ll have realised that Kieren Dickins aka DELS is one of my – and countless others no doubt – hot tips for 2011. We’ve covered his previous single Trumpalump and a remix from Joe Goddard featuring Ghostpoet that I can’t recommend highly enough. His debut album GOB (artwork above) [...]

Signed to Big Dada Records, the hip-hop arm of Ninja Tune, DELS has been creating quite a buzz around the forthcoming release of his debut single.
