The Big 5 We’re Looking Forward To Seeing At Field Day 2013

Posted on May 24, 2013 by Joe Bish Artist: / / / / / /

As the mid-point to 2013 draws in and summer (hopefully) gets into full swing, we always look forward to Field Day as the sort of pre-drinks to the festival season. Always with a strong, varied line up, Victoria Park’s annual jolly is a must for all of our great city’s citizens, but who are we, the tastemakers, the blog-types, looking forward to catching? Well, we’ll tell you…

TNGHT

Lunice and Hudson Mohawke’s joint side project is always a heady promise of fist-in-the-air uber-bombast and total fun. Playing tracks from their self titled EP, released last year, and various productions from them individually, expect speedy snares, hammy hi hats and horns that’ll blow your straw fedora off you LOSER.

VONDELPARK

Souf London trio dropped their debut LP Seabed a lil while back, and we were very impressed indeed. We’re excited to see if their brand of highly melodic and gloomy music translates to a sunny day out, our money’s on a strong ‘yes’.

BOK BOK & GIRL UNIT (LIVE)

Night Slugs has long been one of our favourite labels, with it and sister label Fade To Mind, releasing some of the best dance music of the last 5+ years. Two of the main dons, Girl Unit and honcho Bok Bok will be performing tracks live, like Bok’s creepy grime Silo Pass and G-U’s tearful Wut.

CHARANJIT SINGH

Acton-based Bollywood session musician may have accidentally invented acid house in 1988, which is reason enough to see anyone. But we also love his fizzy brand of disco-infused eastern electronic.

KORELESS

Koreless released his beautiful, sparse Yugen EP just the other day, and it’s a real gift. Like a futuristic soundtrack to a robo-Attenbrough documentary, his music in a tent with narcotics being flung up your orifices will surely promise a memorable Field Day experience. Can’t wait to see you all there, I’ll be getting the poppers in. Whey!

Kowton – And What? – Premiere

Posted on May 24, 2013 by Joe Bish Artist: /

The b-side to his own and Julio Bashmore’s collaborative track Mirror Song, out Monday (27 May) on the latter’s Broadwalk imprint, And What? is Kowton’s screwfaced, frowning-bass track, replete with skeletal percussions and a wob to make your stomach lurch. In other news, Bashmore will be embarking on a US tour in August, the details of which you can find below:

Ryan Hemsworth – Still Awake EP

Posted on May 24, 2013 by Joe Bish Artist:

The internet’s darling Ryan Hemsworth uploaded a nice free seven-track EP yesterday, and it’s pretty chilled out from what we can gather. There’s a lot of rainy, indoors sounds, lots of chiming bells and magic-forest chords and stuff, it’s nice, it’s pretty. You can stream it below and download it here:

FTSE Featuring Saint Saviour – Tidal Wave

Posted on May 23, 2013 by Joe Bish Artist: /

There’s melancholy seeping out of every note in this moody collaborative track by producer FTSE, who provides the baritone vocals. It edges sadly towards a much bigger, expansive final third, with some pretty harmonies courtesy of guest Saint Saviour:

Chief Keef – Macaroni Time

Posted on May 23, 2013 by Joe Bish Artist:

Sometimes Chief Keef sings and it doesn’t really work out all too well. Other times, like Macaroni Times, it works really well, especially in the verses, spliced in with his drawl raps and menacing monotone. The beats real fun too, and the video is oddly English we reckon (small glass greenhouse you know?):

Hyetal – Jam The Network / Moving Statues

Posted on May 23, 2013 by Joe Bish Artist:

We were very pleased when we heard the first single from Bristolian Hyetal’s new album Modern Worship (out 3 June), the excellent Northwest Passage. Now he’s given us not one, but TWO great new tunes from the record, the bouncy, computerised Jam The Network and the similarly digitally busy Moving Statues:

Ikonika – Mr Cake

Posted on May 22, 2013 by Joe Bish Artist:

Here’s a new lick from Ikonika, featured on Girl Unit’s recent Night Slugs mix. It’s called Mr. Cake, and it’s quite beautiful in a strange way, sumptuously positive in its chords and relative simplicity (check the bassline as well, whoo!):

BRTSH KNIGHTS – If I Was To – Premiere

Posted on May 22, 2013 by Joe Bish Artist:

At long last one of our favourite tracks of the last 6 months, the bubbling BRTSH Knights track If I Was To, is seeing a release on Technicolour Records. It will have a b-side, Hazed, and will feature remixes by garage legend El-B and Brainfeeder’s Mono/Poly:

Jacques Greene Featuring How To Dress Well – On Your Side

Posted on May 22, 2013 by Joe Bish Artist: /

We’re glad to hear Jacques Greene back in our ears, and having How To Dress Well tag along with him is an added bonus. On new tune On Your Side, Greene brings the production, slow, swung drums and astral keys, and HTDW brings the sumptuous vocals:

The-Dream Featuring Kelly Rowland – Where Have You Been

Posted on May 21, 2013 by Joe Bish Artist:

While Yonce is off filming adverts for International Conglomerate Number 7, Kelly and The-Dream are keeping it more real with their recent collaborations, first Rowland’s Dirty Laundry and now The-Dream’s Where Have You Been, a similarly solemn track, taken from his new LP 4Play:
