Major Lazer Free The Universe take #2 

It’s no secret that Black Butter are one of my favourite record labels, they consistently put out amazing track after track. This is my favourite one from them so far this year. Expect big things from Gorgon City.

Okay I’m a week late to listening to this one, mainly because I’m a big Postal Service fan and was worried I would instantly hate this. I shouldn’t have been worried, this is truly great.

It’s been a while! Eagerly anticipating the new Major Lazer album, carnival vibes.

New remix from the brilliant Sweater Beats, classed under the genre ‘Where the Wild Things Are’… listen here

Everyone should check out Cashmere Cat, this EP’s dope….

Jamie XX is back in the producing/remixing seat now the The XX’s album has been a success. I don’t normally post twice in a day but this is something very special…

Little is known about Sweater Beats (the latest signing on Bondax just us label) other than ‘I make music to make your booty bounce.’ Seems about right…

Check out this tune from new Hospital Record signing Fred V & Grafix. Taken from the upcoming Sick Music 3 album this track will make you Major Happy.

This week let me present you with a MASSIVE drum & bass remix. I’ll let the music speak for itself, this track is sick….

The brothers are back again with the official video for song ‘Latch’. Its no secret I’m a big Disclosure supporter, ‘The Face’ EP is high up in my iTunes most played list. ‘Latch’ does not disappoint with a beautifully addictive beat and flowing soulful vocals. Check it out here:

I posted Typesuns’ video for debut dubstep single ‘Heart Maths’ a little while back now, now Type returns with a new video.

‘Sad Songs’ is a beautifully slow contemporary track with major R&B vibes. Romaine Smiths vocals compliment the slow brooding beat perfectly. Have a listen here:

So, I have finally returned from Croatia and have just stumbled across this Nicolas Jaar mix. Yeah I know! It was played a while back on Radio 1, but it deserves to have light shone on it again.

What is there to say about it? Well it’s 2 hours long, it includes some surprising song choices (*NSYNC) and is pretty damn good. Take a listen/free download below:

Surfacing earlier this year with ‘Last Home’ (the much loved opener to Futureboogie’s 10 Year Anniversary compilation), Bristol based producer, drummer & DJ Luke Harney aka Typesun has had his head down for a while. 

‘Heart Maths’, the first single to drop under the Typesun signature, came out of writing sessions with long-time collaborator & general Bristol hero Guido (State of Joy/Punch Drunk). The track presents a complementary mixture of the two artists’ trademark palettes: Guy’s rambunctious MIDI instrumentation & fierce square waves over Type’s signature rugged drum production & cinematic attention to detail.

Finally a new SBTRKT track to sink my teeth into. This track has only been live for about an hour and has already clocked up nearly 8000 plays! So what do you think? Are you a fan?

Check out this great track Independent Music News have just posted by producer bassDrumsnareDrum. Its is available as a free download below.

His debut EP Pause Rewind features the striking, delicate vocals of Betty Steeles. The two have been writing and recording together since 2011. The tracks, recorded in a tiny voiceover booth in Soho, reflect their shared love of soulful dance music. From the down tempo thoughtfulness of Pause Rewind to the euphoric ‘one liner’ of Honey.
