Doldrums – Jump Up

Rhian — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:29:31 +0000

Airick Woodhead aka Doldrums returns with this new cut from the forthcoming ‘Egypt’ 12″ and – whaddaya know – it’s as glorious a psychedelic wigout as you might expect. It starts of simply enough, sure, but as layers get added things get progressively weirder and harder to follow. If it weren’t for Airick’s velvet voice pinning everything together and the fact it sounds exactly like we imagine the inside of his head to be, it’d be ridiculously confusing. As it is, there’s something about it that just works.

‘Egypt’ is released on June 4th via Souterrain Transmissions.

Fantastic Mr Fox – Speak Nuh

Abeano — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:19:54 +0000

Huge kicks, party chimes and big, big bass have got us moving to this new track from Stephen ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’ Gomberg.”This mighty quadroid of Boom! Boom! clicketty-clackery will be shortly followed by the mega anthem “Power” says the label of the June 4th release “after this drops I’m not sure what will occur, maybe it’s pink flamingos and yacht time for the young FMF”. “YACHT TIME?” where can we get some of that.

Death Grips spend the budget for their latest video by buying pills and weed, stick it in a tumble dryer and rap near it.

Blawan – They Choose to Bury Here

Boiler Room lost it recently over this track from Blawan’s recent set. Youtube comments say Jackmaster announced it as ‘They Choose to Bury Here’ on Rinse FM v.recently but let’s face it, this summer, everyone is going to be calling it ‘Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage’ or just ‘THAT TUNE’.

Darkside – A1 (Video)

Cube-music releasing clever arse Nicholas Jaar and his guitarist Dave Harrington released this as Darkside in November last year, but we couldn’t resist revisiting it thanks to this new Pomp & Clout video. Set in the desert, it follows what looks like a crew of Jedis fallen on hard times. Watch below.

Friends – Mind Control

Rhian — Wed, 16 May 2012 07:37:05 +0000

We’ve seen Friends slinking around city streets and generally being super cool in their previous videos for this clip for ‘Mind Control’, they’ve gone for something a little different. Paying homage to sci-fi movies, there’s plenty of futuristic effects and a tongue-in-cheek air to the video. Keep an eye out (or not, if you’re easily grossed out) towards the end for Samantha Urbani’s mouth taking the place of people’s eyes. Totally weird.

Kindness – House

Rhian — Tue, 15 May 2012 14:31:39 +0000

Following on from the satirical video for ‘Gee Up’, Adam Bainbridge is moving into more intellectual spheres with this clip for ‘House’. Opening with him theorizing about “the kids” (anyone between the age of 8 and 25, FYI) and music, he then goes on to teach a child how he made the song. It’s full of genuinely funny moments but our favourite bit has got to be when Adam declares “We could both be Prince!”

Three bits of good news this morning. 1. According to XLR8R, Trim is starting work on a full length debut with Rinse FM. Can’t wait. 2. Before that he’s jumped on Marco Giuliani aka Last Japan’s (pictured) latest release ‘East’. The London producer, who we last heard on the Ambush EP, goes in hard here, blending funky, house and grime to make hyped beats that work perfectly with the former Roll Deep member’s loose storytelling 3.

Disclosure – What’s In Your Head

Abeano — Tue, 15 May 2012 08:55:58 +0000

Things are going the opposite of Pete Tong for London duo Disclosure (whay!) but they still let the DJ premiere another track from their forthcoming Greco-Roman EP on Friday night. It’s a bubbling mix of garage, R&B and pop that’s dropped just in time for summer whether you’re in Ibiza, at Reading or in your mates back garden necking tins and trying not to burn the sausages.
