Utopia

Here is the title track from Footprintz new EP, Utopia, which was released on Visionquest this Monday. As the release notes explain; sounding like Hot Chip in paradise, Hercules in a new Love Affair with a euphoric LCD Soundsystem, Utopia is the first step in a great musical journey for this magnetic partnership. Charming guitar led melodies strung out over blissful poetic lyrics and dreamy synths, Utopia is the embodiment of its definition. Beautiful stuff.

Time

Chase & Status have been running a remix competition for their new single, Time, which features the lovely Delilah. My favourite comes courtesy of a man called Sitrus - layering of the vocals is sick and very unique. There are some rubbish ones floating around; it will be interesting to see which one they choose to go on the EP.

Movin' Down The Line x Day Dreams

Didn’t expect to get this and Katy B’s album on the same day, but that is what has happened, and to say I’m impressed would be the understatement of the century. Stone Rollin’ takes us back to the 50s/60s and sees Raphael revisit his musical roots, creating a sound that is non-existent in this day and age. I had no idea that he was 44 until today, but I guess that explains the maturity in his music and the diversity that he has shown across all 4 solo studio albums. Including his work as Lucy Pearl, I think it’s safe to say that this man will go down as one of the greatest R&B artists to come from the 21st century. Also; I can’t explain how refreshing it is to hear a 10 track album with nothing but quality on there - this will be one of the best releases of 2011. Make sure you get your copy next month, you won’t be disappointed.

Disappear & Power On Me

Here are two of my favourite tracks from Katy B’s debut album, On A Mission, which will be released on April 4th. I was excited to hear it, but didn’t expect it to be this strong - she sounds amazing on every single track, no matter whether it’s over Garage, House or Dubstep. The production is flawless and she is just a breath of fresh air to the scene. I need to see her live this year and will definitely be getting a copy of this when it’s available. One of my favourite releases of the year so far - bravo Miss B.

Funny How Time Slips Away

My favourite track from the soulful jazz singer Hanne Boel’s latest album, The Shining Of Things, which was released a few days ago. She is Danish and since her debut has released over 10 solo albums. This is so sick.
