George Fitzgerald

Big love for GFG since his 'Child' release this summer. He's done a great mix for WHP and also tore Junk club to shreds on Saturday night in Southampton with an infectious set.

At 6pm on Wednesday 28th November George Fitzgerald is playing live on Beatport - http://dj.beatport.com/events/33797


Make time to go & see him...

Flying Lotus

Last week I experienced Flying Lotus' 'Layer 3' show - comprising of two digitally projected screens encompassing him in a surreal bubble. The visuals were enchanting and gave FlyLo's set an extra dimension, which enhanced the whole experience.

The Red Bull Academy assisted FlyLo and two visual artists, Strangeloop & Timeboy, with Layer 3; 

"Our new mini-documentary peeks behind the scenes of Flying Lotus’s new live audiovisual extravaganza, 'Layer 3' – which the Academy was proud to assist with developing in support of the 'Until The Quiet Comes' tour. Made with the help of visual artists Strangeloop and Timeboy, the trio have devised a method of transporting FlyLo into outer dimensions using two transparent scrims and interactive front and rear projectors, conjuring nothing short of the acid-fried Space Odyssey "Stargate" scene."

Track him down...

Girls & Guns

Can't resist posting this, it needs to be seen - 80's 'Babes with Machine Guns, Part 1'.

"Hi I'm Kathy and they told me I would be shooting a real gun. I'm sure, I said to my friends, when's the last time you went shooting machine guns?!"

Too funny...

Kate Boy

Addicted to playing Kate Boy's new track 'Northern Lights' - especially with such a captivating video to accompany it.

Captain Murphy - Duality

The illusive Captain Murphy has released 'Duality', featuring Flying Lotus, Madlib, Clams Casino, TNGHT (Mudson Mohawk, Lunice) and Just Blaze. 

It's thought that the man behind the Captain could be one of the following; Tyler The Creator, Flying Lotus, Left-Brain or Earl Sweatshirt but it's still very much a mystery.

Wonderfully vintage in it's style, Duality is packed with a plethora of great tracks and 'Lessons'. Enjoy the sites and sounds of Captain Murphy here...

The Weeknd - Trilogy

The Weeknd (aka Abel Tesfaye) has released 'Trilogy' - an album grouping his previous three 2011 mixtapes + three additional new tracks. Just over 2.5 hours of drowsy, bewitching tracks which send you into a reflective trance. Sweet.

Tesfaye also features on Wiz Khalifa's forthcoming album track 'Remember You'. The video is fresh out - directed by Ryan Hope...

Stubborn Heart

The London based duo Stubborn Heart have done an exclusive mix for Gilles Peterson's Worldwide show which is a great listen. 

Their tracks 'Starting Block' and 'Need Someone' have tones not dissimilar to Radiohead with beautifully eerie vocals, experimental percussion and warm beats.

Check them out...
