When a fire starts to burn, right, and it starts to spread

So I finally got my hands on a physical copy of Disclosure's debut album Settle. Although I've heard some of the content as an impatient fan it was very exciting stuff. After discovering their EP The Face last year and seeing them up over the summer I'd been looking forward to it for months. I have the deluxe version and so it also includes the brilliant remix of Jessie Ware's Running plus What's In Your Head & Boiling (ty PMR)

The brothers have enjoyed much recent success and topped the UK charts with this release.

Took an instant liking to one of tracks of the album F For You the vocal which is instantly introduced is a sample from Howard, first time I've known them to sample themselves. First heard an awful bootleg of this and videos of them performing it live (eeek I'll hopefully manage to see them at Bestival although I think I need to clone myself to see everything).I also enjoy the use of using spoken word which isn't necessarily sung something different that works!



Really like the track Voices the vocals from Sahsa Keable are on point and the underlying bass that creeps in with them is pretty sick. This live version sounds a little different to the digital but it's the only way you can hear it

I have found all the tracks to be decent, there's quite a bit of collaboration with other great upcoming artists aaaand yeah they smashed it basically!

Quite an informative video with the boys where they go through the album below :)

Throwback Thursday #7

Was gonna embed the original but this remix is 2 good

Track: LUXX - The Truth

Came across this tune the other day I've found myself replaying a bit. I enjoy the progression of the chords and with the vocal work it makes for quite a nice sounding track :)

Hiatus over

Obviously post hand in I chose to do a whole load of what I like and unfortunately the thought process illustrated by the cat happens more than the thought to blog.

I have hundreds of useless images on my computer, here have one to make up  for it.

Nighttide Lover by George FitzGerald was released a few weeks ago but I heard it on rinse last night and haven't been able to stop listening to it haha that synth sound is 'ard. It reminded me of hearing a tune and you can't help grooving and a lot of the time I cover my face cos I'm just having a moment.

ohh baby baby ohhhh ohh

I'm currently streaming Disclosure's album so expect some thoughts on that soon :)

Daughter's cover of Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky'

As Daft Punk released the first single "Get Lucky" of their upcoming album out in May it's seen much appreciating this week. Today I heard this cover from Daughter a very nice indie band, with the simple percussion and guitar with the brooding lyrics delivered by Elena Tonra. 

Nice take on it

Release: Toyboy & Robin - Jaded

Out soon on Cool Kid Music is Jaded, the latest from London duo Toyboy & Robin. It follows the familiar sound the producers put out of inventive sampling with a catchy garage/house beat.



Upbeat from the beginning as vocals are looped over some classic sounding chord work  There's a part of the tune where there's a breakdown mid way through and the bass comes back in, sounds great!

These guys have consistently impressed me, pretty convinced these guys are gonna have a huge summer.

Release date: 22nd April
