So following on from yesterdays study session with the First Lady, I discovered this track as well, it has that very Synthy Downtempo Jazz vibe, like Trip-Hop but not so cold, very similar to the likes of Jai Paul. anyways, when the Synth kicks in in the track I cannot stop bobbing my head. I love the way the track builds, and still remains very simple. Song For The Day: Kindness - House

Song For The Day: Saturday 28th April 2012

So tonight was my step mothers 50th birthday party, hosted back home in Winchester. One of the best bits about going home is the amount of new music I get to listen to and absorb.

All the...

So I heard this on Annie Mac’s show the other day, and it really is just a summer smasher, this will stay in your head for age. The track written with a high octane anthem liquid Drum & Bass sound, but the structure and layout of a No1 track, it’s going to chart and I wouldn’t be surprised if it charts very high. this is the sound of a smile on a summers day. big things to...

So I was listenign to Zanes show the other day and he opened up with this track and described it as a “piece of Drum & Bass that should be compared to the likes of Sub Focus - Aeroplane, High Contrast - If We Ever and other modern D&B Classics” now that is quite a statement, and I didn’t believe him until it dropped, WOW what a tune, I’ve met both of the lads on...

So I’m sat at my desk last night, listing to Zane from monday night, and he plays this tune, and then says about how “It’s going to be a summer anthem”. I then had to go investigate, I then find out the band only has 170 people following them on Soundcloud, 1000 Facebook fans, and just shy of 2000 views on youtube, we are talking serious underground music here, in the age...

So I heard this tune a few weeks back on Zane Lowe’s show, as part of his “Next Hype” feature, and instantly liked it, then I found out that they were playing Reading 2012, which got me thinking that maybe they are a band that can bring more than a catchy song to the table. Then the other day I was having a chat with a friend of mine, and I was trying to show off my current...

So I think it’s kind of natural human nature to think that if you get something for free, then it must not be very good, why els would it be free right? We associate free things to be a very low quality, or a gimmick, In the music industry a lot of things go as a free download because It wasn’t good enough to make it onto an album, because it’s an illegitimate bootleg, or...

So this guy has been big in the scene for about a year now, and what a year it has been for him, apparently he played 322 gigs last year alone, anyone who works that hard gets points in my book. Now there is a lot of buzz about this particular producer, a lot of “heads” seem to hate him, me, I think his music is wicked, it’s hard, it’s aggressive, he’s not...
