Banks - Are You That Somebody / Brain

It's not very often I post 2 Live Lounge sessions in one day, let alone one after the other, but Banks' acoustic renditions of her own single 'Brain' and Aaliyah's 'Are You That Somebody' are quite simply too good to leave out. Stunning.

Duke Dumont - My Love / Hideaway

Duke Dumont joined Fearne Cotton in the Radio 1 Live Lounge yesterday to perform new single 'I Got U' & a very special mystery cover. Fusing together Route 94′s 'My Love' with Kiesza’s 'Hideaway' Duke was joined by vocalists Kellie Leigh and Moni Tivony, as they performed over a beat lifted from the producer's 2013 remix of HAIM’s 'Falling', in one of the best Live Lounge performances I've heard in a long while. Further proof that being a dance act doesn't mean your live performances have to be confined to DJ sets.
