SINGLE: Quarta 330 & L.V. – Hylo / Suzuran (LV & Quarta 330 remix)

Hyberdub pulls together two of the label locals on its thirty fourth release. 8 bit abstraction of the highest order from Tokoyo’s Quarta 330 combined with the melodic and shuffling rhythms of L.V. to give you this latest insight into sound. “Hylo” rocks the 8 bit crunch reined in by lush chords, splattered drum work […]
The people who Rule Britannia go to Eton. The people who Rule The World go to Institut Le Rosney. But the people who really matter – such as Oscar-winners Nicholas Cage and Richard Dreyfus, Emmy-winners Lenny Kravitz and André Previn, and Fellator-in-Chief Monica Lewisnky – are past pupils of Beverly Hills High School. When Ariel Pink was a student of […]

SINGLE: Rudi Zygadlo – Resealable Friendship

It maybe a cold and sometimes unforgiving place, but Scotland’s musical endeavors have been a blessing of late. One look at the Lucky Me rota and we’re blinded by the gems glistening up in the highlands. Planet Mu’s latest signing Rudi Zygadlo seems to be the next addition to the list. This Glaswegian musician makes […]

SINGLE: THE HORNBLOWER BROTHERS – GIVE & RECEIVERS/GHOST OF KEROUAC

Damn, blast and bother! The Hornblower Brothers have gone and given me a bit of a dilemma (no not one of those cars similar to a Jaguar, although that would be nice). I have a playlist on my Ipod for my walk to work every morning and there is only one rule, and that rule […]

SINGLE REVIEW: May 68 – My Ways

May 68 refers to a massive protest movement that occurred in France in May 1968 (of course) that marked a decisive shift towards a more sexually, spiritually, equality driven liberal society. For this Manchester band it’s a decisive statement. Where most modern electro-pop bands look back to New Order for inspiration, May 68 set their […]
Many country bumpkins who have now moved to the city will be familiar with the feeling of one’s first loan stroll about the city.  In a town everyone tends to know each others business but in a city you will rarely find people in the street who have the time for you or your story.  […]

SINGLE: fun. – Walking The Dog/Be Calm

If people throw food at each other for fun, Fun throw genres, styles and influences at each other just for kicks, and because they can. These guys are massively playful and extremely talented. Walking The Dog is a joyful combination of Vampire Weekend, The Beach Boys and Wheezer. However (and it’s a big one), Fun […]
Formed on the Wirral, the posh side of Merseyside, TSCCC arrive with a new cut from forthcoming album “Royal Variety”. I guess with a title like that we can expect an appearance from the Queen, the cast from a Lloyd-Webber musical, Cliff Richard and a ventriloquist/magician. It would seem none of these appear on this […]
