This band know how to make great music.Peter Bjorn and John have shrugged off the catchy whistling Young Folks song that so nearly musically typecast them and have delivered a great follow up album.It Don’t Move Me is the song that’s stood out for me and I think you’ll all love it.Peter Bjorn and John [...]

Well It Moves Me!
Passionate About Passion Pit
These unsuspecting Harvard-looking gents have been added to my Best Albums of 2009 list so let’s listen to two of my favourite tracks from their debut.The album has been in and out of the car stereo frequently and after the third time round it clicked with me and now I love it.A lot of people [...]

Freeland
If anything gets me excited it’s the movement and work of producer and DJ Alex Metric, so when I got word that he co-produced the debut album for Adam Freeland’s new musical project, Freeland, it got me all tingly inside.Haven’t heard the album yet but here’s a Miles Dyson remix and a recent mixtape by [...]

Track:I Am Not A Robot
No sooner do we put up the original do we get the remixes in the post.Big things are expected for this pretty little woman even though she’s got some stiff competition after the huge influx of strong independent women. And we all know how competitive some girls can be.(My Year 6 School Sports day saw [...]

Timbaland ft. Wyclef Jean - Hold On
-
Artist:
It was a serious shock when Aaliyah died back in 2001 and Timbaland was her right-hand man in terms of production and guidance.Since then Timbo has reached worldwide superstar status producing beats for literally everyone. I read in Vibe magazine that he’s currently competing in body building competitions - if you check in Google images, [...]

Dognoize - We Are Not Machines
If light of the new Terminator film being released there is one track that any T-800 or T-100o needs to hear before they go on a cold blooded robotic rampage.This song is the epic rework of the compelling speech made by Charlie Chaplin in the 1940 film The Great Dictator.The film is a comedy taking [...]

Fat Freddy’s Drop
The weather this week has been incredible and the music I’m hearing on the radio is just not suitable for the heatwave spreading across the UK at the moment.Fat Freddy’s Drop are a reggae/dub/nu-soul group from New Zealand and considered heroes in their homeland – across the world they sell out huge venues with their [...]

I HEART It Through The Grapevine
If you live in London or are ever in London, I strongly suggest you visit The Kings Head pub in Kilburn.Recently reopening doors they were supplied a jukebox by Rough Trade records which means there are some incredible hidden gems within the ancient machine.Not all the tracks are from Rough Trade records however which means [...]

Tonight’s Today Remixed
TLGB aka The Living Graham Bond has cooked up this bass heavy remix of the Jack Peñate pop-crossover single Tonight’s Today and it’s by far my favourite.All I know about TLGB is that he lives in London, he likes basslines and his name is Graham and to be honest that’s all I wanted to know.Perfect [...]

Rabbit Heart Remixed
OK so lets ignore the fact that I took this from the radio for you - this remix is amazing.Remixes have featured on single releases for ages now but as electronic music (in all forms) is becoming more and more popular with all walks of life it seems the remixes can be as important as [...]

José González - Killing For Love (Beatfanatic Remix)
After working at the Shepherds Bush Empire in London for over 2 years there were hundreds of gigs from artists both amazing and absolutely awful.Muse, John Butler Trio and Imogen Heap were among the most notable sets that I watched from the bar as well as José González who blew the entire audience away with [...]

Marina & The Diamonds
There’s been a sudden surge of strong independent women with incredible voices and equally impressive music recently. Thankfully they’re all a little bit more interesting than the mainstream girlies like Duffy and Adele.I was suprised to see how naughty some of her MySpace pictures were! I had to minimise my browser in case my boss [...]

Dousk - Show Me Wild
Only now are iTunes radio stations being fully appreciated in my life. Endless tunes without the cocky DJ or painful adverts and all from the comfort of my Macbook.I’ve listened to hours and hours of radio, mostly the electro and dubstep ones, quickly scribbling down the best songs and searching rapidly online for an MP3.Stumbling [...]

It’s A Jungle Out There!
Let’s shine some light on some unsigned goodness all the way from California.19 year old laZEBRA is cooking up some very promising beats and remixes from his dorm room at CSULB and if he keeps going the way he’s going the dorm room will soon be completely replaced with a studio.There’s no doubt that for [...]

Nobody Don’t Dance No More!
Remember when Kano released this track on his Home Sweet Home album and we all thought it would be a nice classic garage track and suddenly it switched to some grime track. Everyone was gutted but thankfully he released the full tune as a single a little while later.UK rappers have a heard time in [...]

Make The Girl Dance
This is definitely one of the best music videos ever!Very much in the style of The BPA’s classic video from this year however the ageing body of Norman Cook is replaced with some stunning women.So to break it down beautiful naked girls walk through busy city streets with pedestrians looking on in shock - I [...]
