(& now for something funky) Sharon Jones is the original singer for the Dap Kings before Mark Ronson kidnapped them & got Amy Winehouse involved. Sharon Jones in much older than I thought she would be but she’s kind of amazing - go check people.

Bloc Party are sometimes dope and it was only a matter of time before they roped in dubstep killer Burial to re dub one of their tracks…

Dark & Moody but not at all bad.

Mr Oizo is one of the most talented electronic producers in the biz. I picked up this 7″ in Phonica the other week and apparently it’s from some full length motion picture called ‘Steak’. We need guys like him to keep pushing boundaries.

Viva la France.

We think Drugs are bad news but lets face it - if you’re a teenager and want to stand out from The Pack you might as well rap about it. Stunnaman stand up.

Everyone loves Outkast & they’re back with a new joint for DJ Drama’s mixtape. I hear Mark Ronson tried to get them for his 1st LP but they were having none of it.

Tracks like this make us wonder when the new record is dropping.
