Tune Of The Week: James Blake - CMYK EP

James Blake released his EP a month ago with a sound so astral, atmospheric and sometimes a little bit grimy. There's no doubt as to why he's fronting remixes for prolific electronic music gods; he has a way of breaking apart a flow but keeping in tact an elevating manner. I'm sure there's more to come from Blakey yet!

Release date: 31st May 2010
Label: R&S Records

Remix: Gramophonedzie - Why Don't You (Greenmoney Remix)

I was browsing the compilation Bass In Yer Face just now and came across this lil' beaut. A flick of a cheeky heel and swingingly slick hair, the perky and original Gramophonedzie release is hyped up, funked up and rolled up. Schmoke it people.

Enjoy.

Tune Of The Sheeeeet: Professor Green feat Lily Allen - Just Be Good To Green (Joker Remix)

A totally fine tune, ruined. Ruined! Joker does, however, make it a little more bearable. Enjoy.

Released: 11th July 2010

Remix: Mount Kimbie - Maybes (James Blake Remix)

Check the original too. They're all over the place. In a good way, of course. Enjoy.

Rererererere mix!

Single/EP: Bonobo featuring Andreya Triana - Stay The Same

Bonobo returns. Soak up this sunshine and chill. Andreya Triana is becoming the ethereal vocal to sample, proof in various airy and open tunes. Some tunes are designed to awaken the senses, and others are there simply to accompany the passing by of the inevitable tick-tocking.

Enjoy.

Tune: Magnetic Man - I Need Air

What do you think to the collaborative effort of dubstep giants Benga, Skream and Artwork?

Link: South Africa's version of dance.

Even though England managed to live up to their lifeless expectations, World Cup fever has left us with a little something to bring back to Blighty. This is a little example of South Africa's take on dance music. As stated in the article, This is the cheetah of African music.

Enjoy!

Link: LA Raving --- Electric Daisy Festival

I'm British. So, it's my job to say we produce some of the finest festivals, and it's not like there isn't a fair share of proof: Creamfields, Global Gathering, Glastonbury. Yes. Be proud, UK.

But this is a blog post that I found from LAWeekly's website about The Electric Daisy Carnival.

Blam.

EP: Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - All In Two Sixty Dancehalls

Believe it or not, there's a certain expectation of sillyness upon first hearing their name: Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (MySpace page - worth visiting just for the list of dinosaur influences) or TEED. Yes, there is a playful, light-hearted element to his new EP, found in the upbeat musical style of 'Garden', which sounds like a Calvin Harris-Joy Orbison replicate, a sort of relaxed disco-dubstep amalgamation. The conversational narrative between a couple balances out the upbeat music and adds a touch of introspective depth. 'Blood Pressure' is more of a dancefloor pleaser, subscribing to a fidgety electro house bass roll that takes inspiration from dancehall and sounds like an Ayia Napa goldmine - a sound that is all so popular at the moment. Top advice in the lyrics too: "Prehistoric ting, rude bwoy." Damn straight. Overall, a very quirky, post-historic release that doesn't lose its credible enormity through experimental production.

Enjoy.

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - Garden by Hypetrak

Release date: 13th June 2010
Label: Greco-Roman Ltd

Album: Blue Six - Noesis

Blue Six, famed for the Music & Wine release circa 1999, releases this beauty of return album called Noesis. The producer from New York, also known as Jay Denes, maintains the sultry, bed time feel to his latest release, where procreation seems to be smitten in the afterthought of each of the tracks. Stand out track 'One More Night' helps in the release of biological fragrance and subscribes to the overall sexy grooves, lustful atmosphere and terrace cocktails ethos. Nu disco, soulful house, loungey bar - call it what you will, let us use it to get bare in an emotive overspill. Or, just get it awn ;)

Enjoy.

Release date: 15th June 2010

Noesis = cognition; the functioning of intellect.

Single: Medison featuring Skrein - Harry

Medison - Harry Feat. Skrein (Bare Noize Remix) by TFA

Medison is an East London producer that started off his DJ'ing career at the end of the 90's, eventually producing years later and working with a host of urban names. This tune is deceptively chilled, incorporating a higher pitch of vocal that is proving popular at the moment, yet I urge you dubstep fiends to wait for the durty drop. Remix brought to you by Bare Noize. And remember, a spoonful of dirtballs helps the Medison go down ;)

Enjoy.
