Oddisee is a Hip-Hop producer/emcee that has been circling the underground for a long time. The tracks below were released on Bandcamp today to help promote his 16th release 'Self Sacrifice' and after hearing them I am rather excited for March 27th. I love this laid back, head nodding Hip-Hop sh*t more than any other type of music, so if you enjoy it anywhere near as much as I do, then we'll both be very happy.

Given its world premiere on Pete Tong's show on Friday night, here is 17 year old Madeon's massive remix of the new single from fellow French producer Martin Solveig. Blows the mind to think that this kid isn't even 18 yet, when the level of production and the structure of his tracks/remixes sound so mature.

Whilst performing at Ill Industry earlier this week, Irish singer/songwriter Kal Lavelle premiered a brand new track, which features her good friend and London-born MC Mic Righteous. A very deep and personal song, with wonderful lyrics. Lots of love for this.

Following their hit single 'We No Speak Americano' in 2010, Australian duo Yolanda Be Cool went from being an underground House act to a household name. Now in 2012 they are readying the release of a sophmore album, and this funky track is the first taster of what we can come to expect - infectious, fun, and will no doubt have the same effect as 'WNSA'.

Last Thursday, Modestep were in control of 1Xtra's Daily Dose of Dubstep, and so dropped this beauty at the beginning of the hour, the title track from their forthcoming debut album entitled "Evolution Theory". It's a far less tear-out sound than we've become used to from the bass-heavy foursome; however the chilled intro soon cascades into a guitar-wielding dubstep track, with some hard verses from four talented lyricists. From what we've heard so far, the album - which is released on May 21st - is definitely one to watch out for. Big.
