Against The Grain

Black Canvas

We Rise


Black Canvas make music straight from the heart, music with consciousness. Their debut album "Rise" is simply complex, inspired by life, naturally grown and delivered personally. This album is a distillation of experience, gained first hand from living in "The land of the blind". The essence of the music is love and faith, courage, tenderness, generosity and sacrifice.


Like all much of their work, this song is inspired from living in a difficult and testing environment that is the ghetto. Avoiding the common pitfalls of this lifestyle, staying righteous and rising above.


Ed Solo & Skool Of Thought Feat. Darrison

Love your Life

If you had to list the top 10 hottest producers in breaks over the past 12 months, Ed Solo & Skool of Thought would be dead certs for a podium finish. Hotter than an aerobics class held in a sauna with the central heating cranked up to the max, they have provided a host of huge singles, including "When I Was a Yout", "Love Your Life" and "Babylon Breaks", along with the thundering remixes of Groove Armada¹s "Superstylin" and Freestylers v Pendulum "Painkiller".


"Love Your Life" is an anti "bling" summer anthem encouraging a positive attitude and non materialistic approach to life.




Bella Union

Jetscreamer

Black Hole


A Texan-based punk-grease-blues blend of Sonic Youth and Jon Spencer’s Blues Explosion so what’s not to like?!? This track was used on a US wide TV ad for Nissan, and also on a US regional campaign.




Big Dada

Cadence Weapon

30 Seconds


Canadian emcee and producer Cadence Weapon mixes together the electronic future-funk of Spank Rock with the flow and intensity of a Def Jux artist, the B-Boy stance of the Old Skool and the emotions of a poet.




Catskills
Husky Resuce

Husky Rescue

Blueberry Tree Part III

Husky Rescue build big, if laid back, music that suggests every feeling Nyberg wants to convey without becoming bogged down in specifics; “an emotional ride with the lyrics opening a world around the music” is how he describes it.



Summertime Cowboy


Their new album, Ghost Is Not Real, on which these tracks appear, particularly puts the squeeze on the emotions. Where Husky Rescue’s last album was easy-going to the core, soft focus at the edges even, the new one bites.




Central Control
Strings of Consciousness

Strings Of Consciousness

Sirenade Round Midnite


Inspired by Thelonious Monk’s classic Serenade Round Midnight, SOC have employed harps, horns, electronics and guitars to create a lush-dreamscape that floats, dances and swirls around the listener.



Strings of Consciousness

Strings Of Consciousness

Cleanliness is Next to Godliness

As the centrepiece of SOC’s album Our Moon is Full, the Marseilles ensemble takes the listener on a terrifying journey through desolate western, tension building drone and intense release in the form of electronic splintered beats. The vocal version, also available, features Oxbow’s Eugene Robinson setting the (potentially bloody) scene.

Echaskech

7th Fall


The unique style of melodic dance rhythms blended by Echaskech create a spectrum of flavours from the warm chord progressions of Brian Eno and Urlich Shnauss and the deep bass of Orbital. Their visualist Mach V joins them to add an extra element, creating an awesome audiovisual tour de force.

The Leaf Label

Efterklang

Him Poe Poc


Efterklang is a sprawling collective of young Danish musicians, coalescing around a core of five permanent members. Both live and on record they are a mesmerising proposition: vibrant, evocative music in widescreen. 'Him Poe Poe' is taken from their new album ‘Parades’. Efterklang manage to be both magnificently ambitious and engagingly intimate; a breathtaking panorama of sound with few clear antecedents.


Nancy Elizabeth

8 Brown Legs


With an intuitive understanding of melody and dynamics, Nancy Elizabeth brings a refreshingly Northern turn of phrase to her work. Unpretentious but effortlessly ambitious, Nancy turns the retro, less-is-more aesthetic of the current acoustic revival on its head. Not content with writing and singing all the songs herself, the 23 year-old also plays most of the instruments, including guitar, khim, Indian harmonium, Appalachian dulcimer and bouzouki, amongst many others. Taken from her debut album – Battle and Victory.

Rotters Golf Club (new)
Grandad Bob

Rough Trade
The Long Blondes

The Long Blondes

Once And Never Again


The Long Blondes are five achingly cool fashionistas from Sheffield. Fronted by the incredible Kate Jackson, their first album 'Someone to Drive You Home' thrilled indie fans last year. The track 'Once and Never Again' is a ballbusting exposé of the confused youth of the indie disco scene.



Saddle Creek Records
eric bachmann

Eric Bachmann

Lonesome Warrior

georgia james

Miscellaneous

The Heavy (Counter Records)

Our Special Place


Rare B-side from the durrty durrty voodoo-soul five-piece taking us back a little closer to singer Swaby’s roots in hip hop and soul with a touch of country, his voice floating over acoustic guitar and breakbeat to devastating effect.


Gifted and Blessed (Just Isn't Music Records)

Music For Dealing With Aggression


Twisted and paranoid tech-soul from this hyped LA producer.


Fila Brazilia (23 Records)

And Flesh


Fila Brazillia have always been something of a cult, albeit one with a huge and devoted membership, and one reason for the affection they continue to enjoy is the fact that no-one can ever be sure of what a forthcoming Fila album is going to sound like - other than eccentric. This track is taken from their tenth album.


Jah Wobble

On The Right Road


Aside from being the pioneering bass-player with John Lydon's PiL, he played on Primal Scream's "Screamadelica", co-wrote and played on Bjork's "Play Dead", had a Top 20 hit with his band Invaders Of The Heart ("Visons Of You", sung by Sinead O'Connor), played with Massive Attack and The Orb, released albums in collaboration with both Brian Eno and Can, etc. etc. He's also done ad commissions and film scores.

Crom Band

Ali Love

Secret Sunday Lover


Both tracks are taken from the forthcoming album – Love Music. Listen closely and you’ll hear Lou Reed and Iggy, The Beach Boys, P-Funk beats, hints of Kool and the Gang or Earth Wind and Fire’s disco grooves along with Phil Spector pop, Latin Hip Hop and, of course, the sound of contemporary clubland, all mixed up in short, sweet, cinematic songs that hook you in and leave you wanting more.

Wah Wah 45s

Colman Brothers

She Who Dares (Big Band Original)


Wah Wah 45s slip you another length of latin/jazz pressure from those Colman Brothers! As you should already be aware, brothers Mat and Andrew Colman have been writing together for the last 6 years. Their music combines traditional latin and jazz flavours with contemporary beats and the kind of horn power you´d expect from this duo of brass masters.




Werk Discs
Husky Resuce

Lukid

Onandon

While most teenagers struggle with cracking voices, strange bodily changes and the ever-present lure of guiltily beating themselves off to the lingerie section of the Argos catalogue, Lukid was stuck to his computer screen pleasuring himself in an entirely different manner.


Wakeup


And while you might expect most young producers these days to be either knocking out tomytronic drill and bass or inane bopalong indie in regional accents, Lukid's voice is a far cry from the norm. There's a shocking maturity to the tracks which belie his youthfulness: like seeing a baby reciting Baudrillard or a chinchilla juggling swords. This is no freak sideshow for pimple-popping. Onandon is chock full of timeless instrumental slow-chug classics which might even have your Dad tapping his foot along to and remarking "ooh, that's got a good beat."
