Warrior One – Bad Like Jimmy Cliff

by D. D. Peltier March 4, 2010
warrior one

This year the Notting Hill Carnival will be held on the 29th and 30th August. It’s probably the best street festival in Europe and one of the largest in the world. The first day is known as the Children’s Carnival, this means that the Carnival Floats will be out in force bumping out Soca and [...]

OK Go – This Too Shall Pass (RGM Version)

okgo this too shall pass video

Ok, so we’ve covered this OK Go song before but not this version of the video. I can’t say I am the biggest fan of the band’s music but I’ll give credit where it’s due and the band deserves it for this video, which is probably their best to date. Thinking about it, I would [...]

I remember the day clearly; a friend and I were fooling around on the net. We found this video of a skater falling off his board and snapping his forearm. Yep, the video was grim but still funny as hell. We were just about to have a second viewing when my flatmate stepped into my [...]

Joy Orbison- The Shrew EP + So Derobe

joy orbison

Joy Orbison blindsided everyone when he came out of thin air back in the summer of 2009 and dropped the track Hyph Mngo on us. Hyph Mngo has since been placed into every taste maker’s Best Songs of ‘09 list and Joy Orbison has been listed as one to watch (again) in 2010. I was [...]

Olafur Arnalds

Olafur Arnalds

I followed Mr Jones and Mr Ball onto this website for a reason. It wasn’t for the fame or the women, although I was promised plenty of both by Jacque Jones. The video above is one of the main reasons I joined. Several weeks back I showed the music video for Ólafur Arnalds‘ Ljósið to [...]

jj no3

I was browsing through the BBC’s Sound of 2010 long list, the ‘next-to-blow’ list compiled by over 160 music critics, bloggers, radio DJs and Music Industry folk. The list contained several note-worthy artists; The Drums, Marina and The Diamonds, Gold Panda, Ellie Goulding and Joy Orbison. None of these artists are unknown, they were all [...]

Muhsinah – The Oscillations: Triangle.

muhsinah the oscillations triangle

Do you remember Neo Soul? That R&B sub-genre with the clichéd name? Neo Soul dominated my summers back in the early 2000’s. Dwele’s Subject, Jill Scott’s Who Is Jill Scott?, Raphael Saadiq’s Instant Vintage (‘Skyy, Can You Feel Me’ changed my life) and Lucy Pearl were all on my Mini Disc player and on constant [...]

Clipse – I’m good (remix) feat. Rick Ross + more new tracks

by D. D. Peltier November 14, 2009
clipse

If the video for the “I’m Good” remix is anything to go by, the recession hasn’t affected the Clipse. After all, a Lamborghini and pet shark don’t come cheap! “I’m Good” is a certified club banger and an ideal soundtrack for the weekend antics. The original and the remix featuring Rick Ross with the addition [...]

Floating Points – Vacuum EP

floating points vacuum ep

2009 has been one to remember for Floating Points. The London-based producer has spent most of this year seamlessly meshing soulful house with dubstep (house step?) and is, to quote The Notorious B.I.G., blowing up like the World Trade. This hype is rightly justified with “Vacuum”; a melodic, fuzzy warm focus on soulful house. Over [...]
