Blood Diamonds ft. Grimes - Phone Sex (Unicorn Kid remix)

Grimes and Unicorn Kid come together to deliver a sultry sound complimented by steel drums, heavy stylised synth and a seriously sexy piano riff. Check it.

Melé - Gold Casio

This has been a good night for music. Short and anything but sweet. This sampler from up and coming Liverpudlian dj Mele is brutal.

Unicorn Kid - True Love Fantasy ft. Talk to Animals

Listening to this track made me grow a horn and prance...

Disclosure - Control (ft. Ria Ritchie)

'Just take control!' - Seems that the garage sound is back with a vengeance. Watch this space and keep your ears pinned. This one's going to be big...

Cyril, we just can't get enough...

I know I should probably rename this the Cyril Hahn blog, but its just too good to ignore. Mixes this captivating and well-crafted are few and far between. Follow Cyril Hahn on soundcloud and you'll get them every week....

Byrd Is His Name

It's sometimes all too easy to ignore the under the radar djs and producers on the net these days. Check out Byrd for a get up and go funky mix.

Stay+ - "Crashed" ft. Queenie (out soon on Black Butter)

Fast paced and exciting. Check it out now... You'll thank me later.

Alpines - Chances (Cyril Hahn Remix)

Another incredible remix from Cyril Hahn. Simply exploding onto the scene around the world, Hahn's distinctly smooth r&b inspired sound is by far one of the most innovative and exciting of the year.

Tommy Trash - Monkey See Monkey Do

Just rock it MONKEY!

TJR - Funky Vodka [Rising Music]

Having looked back at my own posts, I realise what a soppy little emo I sound like, its time to pick things up. It may be Sunday, but when you listen to TJR, it feels like Friday every night of the week! Look back at your weekend, pick your favourite moment and relive it.

Its Funky Fresh and is the perfect antidote to the oncoming monday blues. Just let yourself go and get in the groooove.

Maya Jane Coles - Little One

There comes a time in every dance music lover's life when a void appears. Whether you're a drum n bass raver, a bass head waiting for the next heavy drop, or an all-electro lover, the evening passes in a heady blur and you slowly face the new light of day. Emptiness, exhaustion, embarrassment over the previous night's activities. This is the cure,... the remedy. It is at this very moment that house comes into it's own. Take a shower, kick back in a towel and dance on your own.

Hit it.

All I Need - Blue 6 - Album Mix - Naked Music

Ok, ok. For those that know, I'm going through a streeeeesssssfull time atm and was about ready to go into full meltdown until I put on this beat. All I need by Blue 6 is a melancholic classic and hell, if you need a chill out, get it on and reeeelaaaaaxxxx.
