I Had The Blues…
Back in the very early stages of The Mahogany Blog we had two posts about Bombay Bicycle Club. Easily one of the most promising young bands in the U.K.Finally their album is released and it’s a nice little gem but it more of a autumn/winter album.You know when you’re playing music and it slips into [...]

Boring!!!
Can’t be arsed to talk about the media storm that’s currently brewing everywhere but I found this remix a while ago and to my horror realised it’s not up here yet.There are some other really really strong Jackson remixes out there including a Jackson 5 one which is great but I can’t for the life [...]

Nickodemus And The Gypsy Soundsystem
-
Artist:
I spent a good couple of hours in the Pussy Parlure (it’s not what you think!) at Glastonbury and they were playing some particular music that literally got everyone onto dancefloor.The whole gypsy/middle eastern crossover into electro and house music is just what’s needed if you ask me – it almost got into the mainstream [...]

Hide And Seek
-
Artist:
Previously on TMB we posted the sick High Contrast remix of Imogen Heap’s Headlock and it got great feedback – the HC remix was quick and sharp which is great but sometimes we just want to sit back and relax.Welcome aboard Enigma who has approached this remix with a ‘Less Is More’ approach and added [...]

Mt. Eden Filth
Oh my good god. Was sent this track earlier today and I’m blown away.Jesse Cooper aka Mt. Eden likes to keep a relatively low profile and for good reason. He’s no doubt waiting until he has a complete arsenal of dubstep tracks to unleash onto the world.Unlike a lot of the emerging dubstep artists, Mt. [...]

‘Carradine Style’
Just listened to the Miike Snow album twice and I’m completely in love with it.I want to take it out to dinner and flirt over the most expensive meal on the menu whilst drowning it in white wine and then take it to a bar to soak it in at least 14 mojitos followed by [...]

Breath In, Breath Out
The long awaited debut album from Florence & The Machine was released today (6th July) and I thought I’d put it through it’s paces as I walked to work.Kiss With A Fist, Rabbit Heart, You’ve Got The Love and Dog Days are already very familiar to many of us, so in a sense I wish [...]

Something For The Weekend (or Flight)?
Massive tune!Calvin and Dizzee should just team up for good.After their last hit together they’ve gone off and made their own solo albums but it’s when they combine forces that the chart toppers start coming out.This is the biggest radio track of the summer and hopefully it will cross their palms with silver as they [...]

Don’t Be A P.E.S.T!
Right then P.E.S.T have just completed their remixed rendition of Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) and I feel like I’ve just got off the plane in Ibiza. However I’m in still bloody Hammersmith.Euphoric is making it’s way back into the mainstream or did it never leave? The new Dizzee Rascal track ‘Holiday’ is as europhic [...]

PRDCTV
A fair amount of aspiring artists and bands send their music through to Mahogany Blog and we do try to get as many of them featured as possible – one man inparticular recently sent through his music and it instantly clicked with me.A few words to desribe it: Ambitious, Experimental, Brave and Textured.Since PRDCTV (aka [...]

Crash Music
If you love a good movie then you’ve probably seen Crash (2004) which I found incredible -- the Score by Mark Isham was equally as impressive and the Arabic vocals for this particular song settled perfectly for a film that highlighted so much prejudice in the Western world.This is the song during the dramatic car [...]

Back In The Game!
Hello Hello Hello!Christ there’s been a big gap since the last Mahogany Blog but with good reason. It was by far the best Glastonbury festival for years and we were at the front line soaking up the sun and the alcohol.Saw some incredible sets but to be honest, each year I’m taken back by the [...]

Bat For Lashes & Tara Busch
I already loved Bat For Lashes for her debut album and tunes such as Prescilla and Sarah, but I’ve become even more obsessed since the sweet and spiritual lady from Brighton released Two Suns a few weeks ago.I recently came across a very good remix of the song Daniel made by Tara Busch, the voice [...]

Album:Downed Economy
I’m loving this new release from Emil and his friends. Downed Economy packs a great original and some equally good remixes.DAN OH (pictured), Beaumont and Mr. Vega all lend their talents to the single and it’s given it a complete 360 package which is what singles should do.I don’t know much about Emil & Friends [...]
