Given that BBC Radio 1 named him the “Sound Of 2013″, it is a bit surprising that we haven’t heard more from Brolin this year so far. That said, as of yet, every tune I have come across that has his name on it has been worth listening to and coming back to.
Following up his debut Cundo EP on Double Denim and his remix of Lulu James ‘s smash pop single “ Closer “, here is a funky understated pop remix of Chlöe Howl ‘s “ No Strings “…

Since George FitzGerald ’s “I Can Tell (By the Way You Move)” debuted during the Hotflush x Boiler Room Takeover with FitzGerald and Scuba , a few different rips have been floating around the interwebs. Now, following his signing to Domino Records , the UK house kingpin has shared a longer (though still not full) version of the single.

[Leon Vynehall]
Brighton-based beat-maker Leon Vynehall chooses to hold on to his true identity. The DJ/producer has made some noise in the UK house scene as of late, and it easy to understand why as he effortlessly blends soul, funk, and disco music with the four on the floor sound we know and love. His latest cut, “Sister”, is being represented by the folks at AUS Music , the label that has been putting forth work from other UK house producers such as George Fitzgerald and Bicep .On Fitzgeralds label, ManMakeMusic , Leon released today a collaboration with Christian piers under the alias “ Lazlo Dancehall “; check out that release here . The “Brother/Sister” EP will be out officially on June 10th, and you can pre-order the vinyl now via Boomkat .
If you dig “Sister”, check out Leon’s podcast for XLR8R, here ; I recommend it.

[Kidnap Kid]
For the latest edition of Annie Mac ‘s Free Music Mondays we see Matt Relton, better known as Kidnap Kid , take a turn at remixing Lulu James ‘ “Closer.” A few days back, fellow UK artist Brolin released his own understated take on the track, which we enjoyed thoroughly. However, Kidnap Kid has taken the song in another direction. As the producer behind her last EP ( Be Safe/Stuck ), he is quite familiar with James’ style, which seems to give him an edge when reworking her track. He doesn’t change very much- with a few tweaks here and there, Relton simply infuses a subtle and welcome dance floor feel into the original while leaving almost everything else intact.

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.

[Swindle]
Crafting his sounds out of the United Kingdom, Swindle is better known for his clean dubstep production as opposed to a beat based sound; Mischief falls into the latter category. Released on Mala’s Deep Medi Musik label, Mischeif is a cheeky beat that sounds like it belongs in a film noir, featuring a smokey saxophone line, bongos, and a descending piano scale. The sheer quality of this production depicts Swindle’s masterful manipulation of sound.

Gaining critical acclaim from the likes of Gilles Peterson and Benji B , Wolverhampton UK duo Letherette embody an experimental disco-house funk sound reminiscent of Discovery-era Daft Punk. In hopes to promote their forthcoming EP - Featurette - via NinjaTune , the shadowy group have been benevolent enough to toss a single our way. Featurette drops on November 19th; in the mean time, be sure to trade your email for the single Warstones, below.

[Luke Abbot]
Luke Abbot is a Norfolk-residing house producer equipped with an immense capacity to puppeteer fidgety feet on the dance-floor through his moody and emotive production. This past June, Luke released the EP, titled, Modern Driveway , through the Gold Panda -helmed label, NoTown Records.
The title-track of the EP features a dark-disco themed, temperamental take on classic UK house. Modern Driveway is one of those songs that rewards the ‘medicated’ listener with temporary philosophical epiphanies in the small hours of the morning.
