People seem to be unsure as to when/where this is from, but whatever it is, this new Pharrell featuring and Neptunes produced joint is the best piece I've heard from Joe in years. Classic R&B vibes, that could easily end up on his new album (The Good, The Bad, The Sexy), which is set for an early September release. Spotted over @ the ever efficient Soul Culture.
Whilst I was away at Global Gathering this weekend, Drizzy Drake unveiled the lead single from his forthcoming sophmore album, Take Care. Dreams Money Can Buy, Trust Issues and Marvin's Room are all more up my street, but this Boi-Da1 produced joint is very sick, and you can understand why he chose this to be the first single.
Something a bit different to the usual, but here is a stunning new Ray Charles Dubstep remix courtesy of Opiuo. Funky bassline and amazing use of the vocals.
The incredibly talented upcoming Dubstep producer/DJ Will Power took to a London rooftop recently to record his new mini-mix, which was recorded by Ricky Keogh and features a special appearance from Mikill Pane. Peep the tracklist HERE and get your FREE download HERE. One of my favourite YouTube videos for a while.
Weather and general update for Global Gathering this weekend with Michael Fish and Afro Magic. Gonna be live tweeting whilst being there (if I'm in a fit enough state to) and reviewing next week. Big weekend ahead.
My good mate Tim Shieff has a new showreel up on YouTube. Amazing moves, amazing art, amazing song choice; just generally amazing. You all need to see this.
Here is the second remix of Ed Sheeran's new single, which will be available to download on August 28th from iTunes. Along with the previously posted Loadstar remix, the EP will feature this beauty and a re-work courtesy of Gemini, and of course the highly anticipated Wretch32 & Devlin remix. Ed's musical knowledge/taste is flourishing with these remix packages.
AH YEAH, here is the lead radio single from J. Cole's forthcoming debut album, which is set to be released September 27th. Love everything about this guy, and this single is no different. Mr Cole World: The Sideline Story will be a classic.
Premiered tonight as Zane Lowe's Hottest Record In The World, here is the incredible Drumstep remix of Ed Sheeran's second single from the upcoming debut album, +. The drop causes proper screw face time. Album is out September 12th - pre-order the deluxe version HERE.
Day off work, nice weather outside and the perfect time to pay tribute to my favourite group of all-time. Here is my A Tribe Called Quest Summer Mix, which you download to your iPod and play at your BBQ this weekend (the weather is going to be beautiful, apparently). Hope you all enjoy my first ever proper Hip-Hop mix.
