A brilliant new tech-house remix of Adele's smash hit, Rolling In The Deep - there have been lots of remixes of this track, but this is probably my favourite (gets very good after the 2 minute mark). Pretty sure I will be playing this a lot over Summer.
Some incredibly sick visuals for the lead single off Eminem & Royce Da 5'9's collaborative EP, Hell: The Sequel. One of the best Hip-Hop tunes of 2011, and probably the best Hip-Hop video of 2011 - reminds me of an updated version of Hot Thing by Talib Kweli. I hope Em takes what he done on this EP on to his next album, because this tune alone is better than anything off Relapse and Recovery.

My favourite track from Skyzoo's latest mixtape, The Great Debater, which was released yesterday. I don't think I have ever heard a bad track from Sky; he consistently puts out Hip-Hop straight from the heart - dope lyrics, dope beats and dope rhymes. I have a lot of love Mr. Boykins too. Get your copy of the mixtape HERE (I would happily pay for this).
After a few years off, Kasabian are back with their brand new single, Switchblade Smiles. The first minute has a bit of an electro feel to it, but after that we are blessed with the ever recognisable thumping drums and heavily distorted bass that we have come to love over the past 6 years. Big fan. Pre-order the album HERE and get your copy of this straight away.
Yesterday saw the release of Kal Lavelle's brilliant EP, Shivers, which some of you may have been lucky enough to get hold of whilst she was supporting Ed Sheeran on his most recent tour. I was lucky enough to spend a bit of time with her during that tour, and I can safely say that she as lovely as she is talented - this is a simply beautiful 5 track release. Below you can hear my favourite song from the EP and get your copy HERE.
So, after two new tracks leaked today, Beyoncé's new album has leaked in full a shocking 21 days before release date. Party is still my favourite track after a couple of listens, but this one epitomises everything that I love about her and her music - soulful and powerful. On the whole, the album is rather enjoyable, but there are more skippable tracks than her three previous albums, which for me is a bit disappointing.
New Eric Roberson is always nice. New free Eric Roberson is even nicer. Earlier today the R&B/Soul legend took to his website and let go of this Summer jam, which samples one of my favourite songs of all-time (Give Me The Night by George Benson). Listen and cop this little bit of genius below. Thanks Eric.
Directed by Pondr, here are the official visuals for Tensnake's new single, which will be available to buy on June 20th. Easily the best video, and without doubt one of my favourite releases of 2011 so far. This guy never fails me.
Here are my two favourite tracks from P Money & Blacks' collaborative mixtape, Blacks & P, which was released yesterday on iTunes and is currently sitting top of the Hip-Hop/Rap chart. Not many Grime artists excite me, but P Money does and I find it refreshing how he has embraced Dubstep and created a whole new sound that cannot be touched by any other MC - Blacks is the perfect partner in crime for him too, spitting solid bars from start to finish. Get all 21 tracks right NOW, you won't regret it.
