EAR CANDY: Lana Del Rey - Video Games (Joy Orbison Remix)

2011-12-27T22:36:00.001Z

I don't really know much about Lana Del Rey's music, however this remix by Joy Orbision of her Video Games track is absolutely fantastic... sends chills down my spine.

Kingdom - Dreama EP

2011-11-12T16:58:00.001Z

Kingdom is a producer that delivers the goods over and over and over again. His latest release sounds dope, the four track EP in my mind is incredibly diverse, listening to the preview I can hear smooth beats grime style beats and space age melodies. This is looking to be one of my favorite releases of this year... Loving it.

Kidnap Kid - The Apocalypse Of John EP

2011-11-12T16:01:00.001Z

Its always nice to hear an artist you've never heard of before and be pleasantly surprised, its even nicer when you listen to some of the the other artists on the same record label and find that they are really good too.
I don't know if I'm behind times or I've just missed these guys before but this Ep from Kidnap Kid titled "The Apocalypse Of John" is really up my street. In fact the whole roster on the Sheffield based Squelch and Clap Record label has really got me going. I've been listening to there soundcloud for well over an hour now and haven't come across a track I haven't enjoyed. It feels like theres a lot of diversity in the artists work with some funky and soulful beats as well as more tech and garage feel tracks too.

Enjoying this a lot and will being keeping a close on their future releases.

R&S Records: VARIOUS ARTISTS - IOTDXI

2011-11-12T15:27:00.002Z

London based record label R&S put out their latest VA album offering titled IOTDXI.
R&S are arguably the one of the most forward thinking and diverse electronic music labels about with thier history spanning back to the mid 80's and whats best is they represent some of the finest UK talent about such as James Blake and Blawan
to name a couple.

This new compilation album represents the best of their roster over the last 18 months and CD1 and some brilliant new tracks on CD2. If you know anything about electronic music you know that this VA album wont disappoint.

Below is 3 tracks of the album which I particularly love but make sure you go cop this VA.

Lone - Cobra

Blawan - Shader

Its a great set but I must say the crowd are a complete and utter let down, why invite people who are just going to stand around all uptight and not fucking dance? pfff! pointless, but anyway, download Mr Yorke's set HERE!, play it loud in your room... pretend you were there too.

2011-10-06T19:50:00.001+01:00

Wow this one has blown me right back to my teenage years. Mosca brings us his new release on Numbers. Bax/Done Me Wrong, in which he has sampled some great old school Garage classics, don't sleep on this one. I can't wait to hear this full volume on a night out...... instant classic

EAR CANDY: Joy Orbision - So Derobe.

2011-10-05T23:31:00.004+01:00

An oldie, but a goodie. The build up till the bass drops is too much. For those of you that don't know Joy O.... GET TO KNOW!!!!.

A few good bits from UK Grime/Hip-hop, whatever you wana call it these days...

2011-10-05T18:09:00.001+01:00

I don't know if its just me or what, but I get the feeling Kano quiet often gets over looked, which I think is a shame. I've been a fan since P's & Q's. It's a great co-lab track and the beat ain't too bad either.

The next tracks from Nate, loving the slow beat something a little different from a UK artist is always a good thing. You can follow and download his new mixtape here.

This next one is a beauty. A friend introduced me to this guy a couple of weeks ago. He goes by the name of Dirty Dike and this track "Pork Pie" is out now on High Focus Records and will feature on his album. All I can say it's brought a smile to my face and I ended up listening to my old 2000 - 2004 UK hip hop for the rest of the week.

And last but not least... is Piff Gang. Their mixtape "PIFF BREAKS & 808's". I'm loving this mixtape, it really is something a little different from the UK scene. The beats are sweet, make sure you download the mixtape free from their site HERE.

These are two tracks I've been after for awhile now, I've spent endless hours searching for a downloadable Youtube version but that just doesn't cut it haha! after a long wait they have finally seen the light of day. Von D may not be as big on the Dubstep scene as some of his other well-known counterparts... but his distinct funky/dub vibes pushes the genre into an entirely different realm.

Sunlight and Chacha's Leggings are available on 12" over at Chemical Records and should be up in the iTunes store in a bit too.... GO GET A COPY!

Tectonic release - Jakes & Darqwan

2010-07-28T11:24:00.002+01:00

This one is for all the dub heads out there. Dubstep has and clearly is continuing to change, especially with a ever growing trend of dub being used on a more commercial scale, which some will say is positive and others will say is a negative. Which ever way you want to look at it all I know is that there will always be artists that will release truly original and quality beats, as well as great record labels on which these tracks are put out on.

This new release from Tectonic really is a breath of fresh air for me. A slightly strange metaphor to use considering the intensity of the tracks but never the less, the drop at the begining and in the middle of the track is dark, uneasy and protruding into a really tribal drum beat which all links in well together and compliment each other on every level. I've always been a Jakes fan, theres just something about his beats which almost pull you into a trance.

The Darqwan track also has a real tribal feel to it but differs for me in that it sounds much more synth like and electronic, its also slightly heavier on the bass than the Jakes track.

Both great tracks in my view, go and cop this for sure.

EAR CANDY: Kele - Tenderoni

2010-07-21T21:43:00.001+01:00

"Tenderoni" is the new single from Bloc Party's front man Kele Okereke (Yes!... he has a name and its not the black guy from Bloc Party.... dickheads!) At first I couldn't stand this track, plus the instant thought I had apon hearing the synth keyboard was "Next thing she's wearing my Rolex" (hahaha) However after constantly listening to Tenderoni, drumming it into my head, that thought instantly withered away. Tenderoni is a great track, in my opinion Kele pulled off the "first solo single from a front man of a well known band" move very well... I just hope he rest of the album follows suit.

EAR CANDY- Katy B "Katy On A Mission"

2010-07-08T22:21:00.001+01:00

Nash Money x Lacoste Bravington

2010-06-13T19:51:00.000+01:00

UK Designer Nash Money is up to his usual business and has moved onto his next Sneaker Project. sneaker project. His last Project was in collaboration with DC Shoes he has now team up with Lacoste to work on the Mid Top Bravington Model.

“Nash was inspired by the suave and sophisticated heritage of Lacoste and wanted to create something that stayed faithful to this design ethos of the brand. The result is an unmistakably Lacoste shoe that is imbued with Nash identity. Drawing inspiration from the brand’s heritage in yachting, this all-new high-top blends classic Lacoste characteristics with signature Nash design elements including a moccasin cross stitch, hidden laces and fat perforations in the leather.

Premium materials have been utilized on the uppers which merge panels of nubuck, suede, mesh and full-grain leather. Nash’s signature is embossed in the suede panels at the top of the laces. A clean overall effect has been created, yet with attention to detail that makes it a truly luxurious sneaker. White and blue versions launch in July, with two more designs to be unveiled in November.”

The White Versions look Pretty Fresh. Both these are set to Drop in July with a further two designs later in the year, look out for these.

2010-06-08T13:17:00.003+01:00

I previously put a post up showcasing an old friend of mine Luke 'FUDGE' Kempton and his tattoo work. As mentioned I managed to get down to visit Luke after discussing with him what I wanted him to design for me. It was my first tattoo and it turned out really nice and I'm more than happy with it. So much so that I'm booking myself in to have a load more work done in the next couple of months. It's true what they say once you have one your gonna want more and true to form I'm planning and getting a piece done on my leg as well as having a lot more of my arm filled in.

Luke really is a talented tattoo artist and I would recommend him to anyone weather its your first or your hundred and first tattoo.
