Download: JAMES PANTS // Clouds Over The Pacific

…eagulls and his ‘new apocalyptic shit’ he’d thrown together in reaction to people trying to pigeonhole his sound on his debut release. This is a bloke who doesn’t want to sound the same from record to record, or be easily identifiable. It’s safe to say his new long-player has evolved in whatever direction the voices in his head have told him to take it. Buy it.   Groovement x James Pants (+ Dam Funk + Mayer Hawthorne, 2009) or listen below… here  …

Download: MAYER HAWTHORNE // Impressions EP

…sion I was familiar with until we started playing it in our live shows and people would come up to us and say “hey, loved your cover of Average White Band!”. 2. Don’t Turn The Lights On My favorite track from Chromeo’s latest LP. On the surface it’s an electro-funk, dance floor filler, but underneath is a brilliant love ballad with lyrics that reminded me of something from Tyrone Davis. Dave1 (of Chromeo) told me the song is about a guy who falls…

Video/Review: BLACK STAR X RAKIM X MURKAGE // Manchester 11MAY11

…ng off every word of his crystal clear delivery. Better job from the sound people, defo. Crowd interaction was tantamount to the success of this set, with stories of his boat ride (Rakim doesn’t fly) and the left and right side of the room shouting each other being the highlights. In fact Rakim was so keen, he must not have looked at his watch. Far be it from Talib and Mos to complain about it (as I’m sure they never would – they’ve been very voca…

Who dat? // AEMS MC

…ing! It’s a good bit of promo for me and Superveillance too, and hopefully people who checked out the “Slang Like This” video will be more inclined to check out my next vocal track which is on it’s way…. So can you reveal the nature of your next drop? Is it a super-collab , or hush hush, like Arthur Daley’s lock-up? It’s a collab with two of my favourite MCs at the moment, but you’ll have to wait and see who! The track itself is kind of funky meet…

Review: OFWGKTA // Manchester Academy, 11JUL11

…o music, with a circle pit starting off for the final call to arms of Kill People, Burn Shit, Fuck School – a double bluff on their part, because shouting those lyrics just sort of weakened the climax of the night. Come on, yes it’s meant to be funny but I’m not the NME. Having sold out within hours of going on sale (and tickets going for a half decent £30 rather than anything more ridiculous from the touts), expectations of tonight’s gig were fly…

Video: TANYA AUCLAIR // Origami (Live)

…e like for us to switch places. For me to be the blank page, and all the possible destinies in the simplest folds. Every piece of origami starts with a one fold, I liked that idea and the simplicity of it. And if you think about it for people, that we can fold and unfold in so many directions and ways.
