Syllables

An old track, but this is still absolute fire. Em & Jay’s verses are ridiculous, but Stat Quo & 50 still do their thing. Shame this won’t be on Detox.

Touch & Reach

A new and enchanting House tune from Huxley & Sanna. Huxley has been one of my favourite producers this year, and this proves exactly why. Vocal is stunning.

Learning To Swim

Learning To Swim is a track taken from Mikill Pane’s latest freEp, Shatter. I only came across his music a few months ago, and have been nothing but impressed by everything I have heard thus far. He raps over obscure and unique beats that wouldn’t necessarily be classed as stereotypical Hip-Hop beats and always tells a story, which is something that not enough rappers seem to be able to do these days. Look out for him featuring on one of my favourite tracks from Ed Sheeran’s collaborative EP, which will be available to buy January. You can download this EP here and follow him on Twitter - he’s not only talented, but also a very funny fella too.

California & The Slipping Of The Sun

My favourite track from the Gorillaz’ new album, which was created entirely on an iPad and can be downloaded for free, from here. Apparently it was recorded in Oakland on 30th October and the train station announcement was recorded at LA Train Station. Technology ay?
