Just making it in as the last track of the March SoundCloud playlist, Klapp Klapp delivers on all […]

The December SoundCloud playlist has a track that I’ve personally been waiting for ever since 2010 when I became obsessed with Swedish-born UK vocalist Fatima who released some amazing musical collabs with the likes of Dam Funk and Funkineven. This month, Fatima working with London producer fLako (aka Dirg Gerner) release their single “Black Dough” […]

This month’s Spotify playlist is short and sweet. With a rather obscure and very sweet find that you’ll surely be fond of ”“ Rachel Sweet’s, It’s So Different Here (sorry the puns just wrote themselves!) Recognise it? You probably heard it sampled on We Got the Funk by The Beatnuts ”“ love a little bit […]

Another big SoundCloud playlist for this month with a track for every single one of your moods.

February is definitely remix month on SoundCloud! Hudson Mohawke remixed Disclosure’s White Noise into what will surely be one of the year’s biggest club tracks and Kon worked his own brand of magic on an old school, legendary Donald Byrd track. 2013 February: New from Typesun, FKJ, Onra, Rhye & Hudson Mohawke / Disclosure remixes […]

Let this winter end in style with February’s Spotify playlist. My favourite track this month has to be the new one from James Blake ”“ Retrograde, which suited my mood perfectly as I walked home in NYC’s wintery darkness. The beautiful music video is consistent with the track’s somewhat apocalyptic sentiment: 2013 February: New James Blake […]
