Times are hard, bloggers are asking for dollar left right and centre, we’re hating on Ohh Crapp and there’s this killer flu on the loose. Meanwhile, we all gotta pay the bills and the evil bastards that rule the modern world don’t seem to give a shit anymore, they’ve made their money - they’ve fucked [...]
We love Gold Panda. We love his music too. He’s a bro of ours. He’s given us something of an exclusive here and alongside the recent super bloggable Little Boots ‘Every Little Earthquake’ mix, we feel smug. Summer is beautiful in London, truly it’s the best city in the world when it’s the sun is [...]
The return of The Field, much loved in these parts is being heralded as the start of the summer. Picking up exactly where ‘From Here We Go Sublime’ left off with that magical shoe-gaze-tronica-hypo-beats sound, this is no less the perfect companion to your sexual adventures in Summer time. Enjoy.

Guess what, we’re late - although we did blog this back in Feb. There are mixes on the way for the amazing Silverclub from Manchester and maybe maybe Franz. ‘We’re Back’ is taken from their LEX debut ‘KIDS’ that debuted last year, now the duo continue on their climb to the mantra of [...]
We like Salem. Then, we like other more associated drone rock and tings, not quite as excessive as Sunn O)))))))) but definitely that side of dense and heavy guitar / drum focused rock. Salem have emerged into quite the blog star superstars since too damn cool for us Merok record released their debut 7″ last [...]
I’ve always rated Scot Herren, aka Prefuse 73 - mostly post seeing him live at Sonar a few years back. I believe both Peel and Da Bank are of the fan club. We should appraise his artwork on a more individual basis - but lets collectively suggest, brilliant. Warp Records continue to pump out the [...]

i like the stillness of night
The artificial light
The hum of household appliances
