Kidnap Kid | Stronger

“Stronger” is the latest from the UK’s Kidnap Kid , out on Black Butter Records on March 3rd.  It’s a straight forward, well produced house tune that made my head bob.  Give it a listen, and pre-order it here if you like.

Hannah Wants & Chris Lorenzo | Dappy EP & None A Them

Shadow Child and Kry Wolf ‘s label, Food Music , is at it again, this time with a long awaited delivery from Birmingham’s Hannah Wants and her go-to collaborator, Chris Lorenzo . “Dappy” was brought to our attention during the Dirtybird Records Christmas takeover of Pete Tong ‘s BBC Radio 1 show in early December. This release has gained huge support from the likes of Justin Martin & Claude Vonstroke , as well as T. Williams . These are tender, yet husky bites of British bass house with an aftertaste not far from the characteristic blend of ash, dust, and copper left in one’s mouth after a proper day of festival go-ing.

In light of Dappy’s release, Hannah & Chris have also served up an appetizer on the house. Download via the SoundCloud stream below.

Shadow Child | 23 (ft. Tymer)

In lieu of Skream and Disclosure ‘s back to back Boiler Room fuckery that took place live from the presidential suite of the W Hotel in London this evening, we bring you this feast of a house tune. Skream flatteringly rinsed “23” only two days after it’s impactful release to the public. This is the title track off Shadow Child ‘s 4 track EP of similarly cultured “peak time” house”, and will be the first release for his new label, Food Music . With a co-founder like Kry Wolf and early support from the likes of Eats Everything , and Mistajam , one should expect  big things from this newly formed entity.

Hopefully like us, you enjoy this tune infinitely more than the sluggish crowd seemed to, who were lucky enough to be in attendance in that pillow feather ridden hotel room.

Amtrac | Soho Beach House Mix

Today Kentucky artist Caleb Cornett [ Amtrac ] released a half an hour ‘Soho Beach House Mix’.  I have never posted a mix-tape before, but this one made me bop in my chair enough that I felt obliged.

If you haven’t listened to much of his music, I suggest dedicating some time to his vast/varied Soundcloud channel .  Thanks to Ed G for the tip a year ago-

Kieran Fearing | Glass Of Wine

Kieran Fearing

Within a vast sea of artists coming up in the world in 2012, it has become evident to me that more so than ever, there is a fine but very integral line that separates those who are capable of creating acceptable and followable art, from those who create something that captivates listeners/viewers alike in a larger way.  Whether due to shock value, originality, or simply a level of refinement and subtle attention to detail that it makes one shiver, these artists have a gift — perhaps defining the difference between talent, and skill alone.

Kieran Fearing has unveiled a single off of ‘Reprieve’, his debut 10 track album.  The album is the product of a collaboration with friend/producer Jonathan Scherk.  It has a man in a white room with a piano feel, along with evidence of Mr. Scherk’s own additions.

The date for the release has yet to be announced, but will be — once he has found an appropriate imprint to release it on.

In my opinion, Kieran is one of the talented artists.  His work contains a level of musicality and melody that I don’t often hear.

Download the single below, and keep an eye open for the full album’s release.

Disclosure | Control ft. Ria Ritchie

Disclosure need no introduction, as their recent bounding success has caught the attention of the industries’ top producers and DJs. Zane Lowe , radio DJ of BBC Radio 1 , holds the track in high regard, proclaiming, “Disclosure’s new record, ‘Control’, is tonight’s hottest record in the world.”

Here is a new preview fresh off their sound cloud.

Get to Know | dÉbruit

Xavier Thomas ( dÉbrui t) of Paris came to my attention through freebies bestowed upon me through my signing up to Civil Music ‘s email registry sometime last year. Civil Music summates the virtues of Xavier’s addition as a, “melee of jack-knifing riddims, booby trapped syncopation and bass heavy collisions.” Akoula debuted on Gilles Peterson ‘s last ever show on the BBC Radio 1. Xavier melts Ginuwine ‘s classic down to a state of an aqueous, yet heavy-hitting bliss. dÉbruit’s new album drops on the 4th of June 2012.

“His Music is a no holds barred assault through dark Congolese sound systems, downtown L.A. block parties gone wrong, haze filled Kingston recording studios and freaky Tunisian backstreet souks; all powered by a fat hip hop engine….”
