Song of the Day

The Temper Trap

"Sweet Disposition"

Just a great track.

Swedish House Mafia

2009-11-08T16:32:00.001-08:00

" Leave the World Behind"

Just spent the day recovering from seeing Swedish House Mafia in Brixton Academy, on the second of their sold out London shows. Epic doesn't do it justice. Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso brought the roof off the place. Simply one of the greatest nights of my life.

Ulrich Schnauss

"Passing By"

Journey across an enthralling musical landscape that stimulates the senses and invigorates the mind.

"Giving In"

"You're born, raised and then torn down,
to look a little more like, everyone you meet,
And everyday that goes by,
you look a little less like who you used to be."

Vocals by Sarah Matthews. Inspired. From album "Ganglion" - one of the most incredible albums ever produced. 12 tracks of pure excellence. Downtempo electronica and trip hop alongside an accompaniment of classical strings and piano.

"Elysium"

Sensual and exotic. Downtempo chill with a with a psy-ambient tribal twist. A mystical pleasure.

Trentemøller

2009-10-28T15:37:00.000-07:00

"Take Me Into Your Skin"

Minimal, downtempo, ambient, atmospheric yet highly sophisticated electronica. The opening track off 'The Last Resort' is a progressive and intricately layered masterpiece. The audacity of the "anti-drop" half way through blows my mind.

Telepathe

2009-10-26T14:49:00.000-07:00

"So Fine"

A jagged hypnotic electronic psychedelic twisting rollercoaster of a record. From debut album 'Dance Mother'.

Laid Back

2009-10-25T13:08:00.000-07:00

"Bakerman"

... is baking bread.
Slow down, relax, it's too late to worry... take it easy.

Champion

2009-10-24T10:04:00.000-07:00

"No Heaven"

Funky.

Boxcutter

2009-10-24T05:10:00.000-07:00

"Sidetrak"

Dubstep with a dark electro twist. From the album 'Arecibo Messge'. A cohesive mix of richly seductive atmospheric tones and sounds that come to together in an intellectual smorgasbord of dubstep perfection.

M83

"Skin of the Night"

Deep and complex, with a soothing ethereal quality that you can almost lose yourself in.

Various

Dark Dubstep. From the ecclectic album 'The World is Gone.

Apparat

2009-10-19T14:54:00.000-07:00

Awesome track from the fantastic album 'Walls' by Apparat. Profound, deep, mesmerising electonica.

Flunk

2009-10-18T16:32:00.000-07:00

"Blue Monday"

Simply sensational cover that could even be better than the original by New Order.

Marvin Gaye

2009-10-15T15:38:00.000-07:00

"Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)"

My favourite Marvin Gaye song with lyrics that are as appropriate now as they were when this song was written. A masterpiece.

Fever Ray

2009-10-14T15:40:00.000-07:00

"When I Grow Up"

Karin Dreijer Andersson, lead singer and one half of Swedish electronic duo 'The Knife' went off and created a sublime self titled debut album under the name Fever Ray. The second single 'When I Grow Up' is a beautiful haunting melody, eerie yet becalming.

Booka Shade

2009-10-13T05:29:00.000-07:00

"In White Rooms"

From their album "Movements". Minimalist electro-house. A sound that needs to be felt as well as heard. Sublime.

Even better live. Saw them at Matter in the O2 in April. It was nothing less than Epic.

Amadou & Mariam

2009-10-12T12:41:00.000-07:00

"Sabali"

First single from the wonderful 'Welcome to Mali'.

High Above the Storm

2009-10-11T07:36:00.000-07:00

"Dragonfly/Time of Our Lives"

Caught these guys live at the Underbelly in Hoxton Square on Thursday 8th Oct.
Mesmerising. Soaring beautiful songs.

The Crystal Method feat. Matisyahu

2009-10-10T03:53:00.000-07:00

"Drown in the Now"

Best song off 'Divided by Night'. A different direction for TCM. A darker and grittier record but a definite grower.
