Just yesterday afternoon I was listening to James Blake‘s radio appearance on Seattle radio show KEXP in the hopes of him playing a new tune. That didn’t happen, but I had a feeling that something new would be dropping from Mr Blake, especially considering that in the run-up to his album launch he was dropping [...]

This post is a “QuickPick”.  QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that’s sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it’s so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I “star” it in Gmail [...]

Almost two weeks ago to the DAY! I posted “Baves Chords”, the lead track from Mount Kimbie’s upcoming “Carbonated” EP, and thanks to BBC Radio’s Gilles Peterson we have a radio rip of another new joint from the EP. On an EP with mostly remixes and only two new tunes, “Flux” is probably the extent [...]

Just in time for late-night-anything, this landed on my lap in the wee small hours of this morning/last night/whenever 12 hours ago was. Scanning through some of the Twitter streams and RSS feeds I’d missed across the course of the day, my boy Riley over at The Leaving Scene had posted “Die 4 Me” by [...]

Well….it’s not entirely new.  But it’s new, as in, coming out soon, officially, kinda? Left off of their immense debut album “Crooks & Lovers”, it was an unreleased track from 2008, this time around being reworked as part of a new Mount Kimbie EP called “Carbonated”, out on June 27th.  The EP will have the [...]

You can be pretty confident you’re going to enjoy a track when you hear a ten second clip over dodgy headphones on a noisy train, and then spend the rest of the five hour journey humming it over and over and tapping your feet. Or, in the case of Two Inch Punch, trying to hum [...]

If you haven’t heard of King Fantastic, GET ON IT. These guys are fantastic, seriously. Ahh yes, it seems to me that the big thing these days are pop songs with an electronic feel and a hip hop hook.. yes (ahem, looking at you Akon, Usher, and all you other popular so and so’s). BUT, [...]

With his other two tracks being played on radio the other night, it was only a matter of time until the third track from his upcoming (Monday 28th) EP was posted online too. As I posted a couple of days ago, “Street Halo” and “Stolen Dog” are both very Burialistic as he doesn’t stray too [...]
