This past month was rich with some lovely releases but with no time to dive into it all my list is a little short. More next month. Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi – Rome Austra – Feel It Break EMA – Past Life Martyred Saints The Vaccines – What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?

Ever since his very dirty, vocal led remix of Man Like Me‘s London Town in the middle of last year, I’ve been keeping one ear open for more Foamo fun and games. The good news is that he’s just launched his new website foamo.net, and to celebrate (and build a bit of an email list, […]
Whether it’s at a house party, on a road trip or just flicking through iTunes while hanging out at someone’s place, more than once I’ve had someone ask me where I get my music from: what they’re looking for is a way in. Sometimes I can’t really tell them anything that’s going to be […]
For those of you who are into Hip Hop and want to check out your music spotting skills, you could do worse than pop down to The History of Hip Hop being hosted by Mixcloud at The Big Chill just off Brick Lane in London in a couple of weeks on the 26th of […]
