Heavy Hawaii 7"

Theme Park

Even I'm making the trip back to Luton to see Theme Park on Friday. The new sigle is fantastic, and has quite a different vibe to alot of their earlier releases. I'm really looking forward to the album.

YEAR ZERO x Black Mountain

DP favourites, Black Mountain have sound-tracked this new surf "post-apocalyptic"film, Year Zero. All shot on 16mm, it looks stunning. Above is the trailer, and you can listen/ download one of the songs from it, enjoy

Sharon Van Etten

Sharon Van Etten has been kicking around for a while, but this is the first time i've opened up my ears. This single is a stunner, enjoy

Notorious B.I.G. - Hypnotize (SMITH HOUSE EDITION)

Don't even know how he does it, but SMITH is just going from strength to strength! Enjoy this house edit of Biggies classic

Lower Dens

Saw these guys are playing a few shows soon, Lower Dens, are new to me, and they sound great. Somewhere between Electralane and fuzz, they have a real warm magical feel about them!

DPR : wk4

So i forgot to record, fucked up the start, you miss one song, and i'm sorry... but you'll get over it! This weeks show was jam packed with classics, and me spouting rubbish! PERFECT, ENJOY

Blood Orange Forget It

New tune dropped by Blood Orange, i'm really into the Prince esk vibe going on with BO.

Nicola Bear Edition One

The babe that is the Bear, has finally done a mix! Nicola Bear, Ibiza Rock resident, has played pretty much everywhere, including at ours! This a great party mix, download and enjoy!

The Black Keys Gold On The Ceiling

This was always gonna be the new single...

Neon Indian x Adult Swim

I never thought this would ever happen, the guys behind some of my favourite cartoons, and one of the guys that makes great music, TOGETHER! This co-lab between Adult Swim and Neon Indian works so bloody well! Both are equally amazing! Hope Adult Swim do more music video's from now on!

Red Kite

Containing Daniel Fisher, ex guitarist of The Cooper Temple Clause, Red Kite are being tipped for quite big things. Their latest 9 minute monster is available for free download on their Soundcloud and is definitely worth a listen. Long songs are always the best.

Kindness

Don't really know much about Kindness, but this video is great, and i love the song. Has that lo fi, driving beat vibe to it, real nice fuzzy groove all the way through it

SMITH Ni**a's In Paris Edit

Our boy SMITH has done it again

Swell Maps

I love a good re-issue to open my eyes and ears to things i've missed out on in my life. I noticed Swell Maps "A Trip to Marineville" purely for the amazing cover, a house on fire, brilliant. Then when i actually got around to listening to it, i just thought, hang on, why the fuck don't more people know about this band?! File under that new wave/no wave/punk that was kicking around in the late 70s and early 80s. One of the best buys of this year so far

here are 2 of my favourite tracks from it...

Bosco Delrey Baby's Got A Blue Flame

I love how noisy this video for the new Bosco single, great track from the album

Staygold

SMITH dropped this on my lap a few weeks ago, he knows what i like!
