Molek FMThe Go! Team: Rolling Blackouts (Memphis Industries)
In an alternate world where Michael Jackson’s “black and white” ethos has been realised on all levels of consciousness, The Go! Team rule supreme. Back with more Shaft-nostalgia samples, angry guitars, cheerleader-rapper/underage-girl-in-a-band vocals and a full horn section, the Brighton sextet continue to mash up proto-hip hop and indie rock elements in lethal doses on […]
Detonate: James Blake
People call James Blake’s music as dubstep, but he doesn’t mind it at all. With 4 EPs and several remixes accomplished, the Londoner (who incidentally shares the same name as the celebrated American tennis player) is probably one of the most amazing producers and vocalists of our generation.

A Sunny Day In Glasgow
ASDIG is like a combo of all my favourite groups; there are the narcotic guitar haze and whispery female vocals that remind one of My Bloody Valentine or Cocteau Twins, the psych freak-out of Velvet Underground and the electronic textures that are reminiscent of Mum.
A B and The Sea
While everyone’s going ga-ga over Best Coast, here’s a band that truly knows how to put together some feel-good California vibes with irresistible melodies.
Detonate: Sona One
How Joe Flizzow met Sona One Text: Joe Flizzow I’ve known Sona One since he was 12, initially as a friend of my younger brother Iman when Sona was known as a graffiti writer. There was this one occasion when he came to the crib with Iman, saw a graff piece on the wall and […]
