Apologies for the late posting, was out all yesterday and only just got around to it today. But please enjoy, there's a massive amount in it today!
Magnetic Man - I Need Air
I swear I posted this a couple of weeks ago or at least last week, but I didn't. So here it is. The incredible combination that rivals SHM, is that of Benga, Skream and Artwork, and has unsurprisingly produced an incredible piece of dance music. This song has such universal appeal that it will be played on every club night, and that is often the sign of a true dance hit.
Linkin Park - The Catalyst
Having only been on the internet for about a week, this video has clocked up a huge amount of views, not quite Gaga-worthy, but still impressive. Nevertheless, I'm not sold on this song. However, it is worth putting on the blog for a number of reasons though: 1) Hybrid Theory was the first "rock" CD I bought and therefore started the change in my music taste dramatically. 2) It is there first new song for a couple of years. 3) It is always good to see a band push themselves and try new things. So maybe this song will grow on me, I don't hate it but maybe I have grown out of LP somewhat.
Tenasnake - Coma Cat
Maybe it's my music taste diversifying or the dance scene changing, but this summer has produced a huge amount of dance hits that I cannot get enough of and this is just the latest. Tenasnake has the vibes of nineties trance beats and steel drums yet it has been brought right upto 2010 and is a fully accessible hit.
Junip - Always
Regularly readers will probably know I'm a massive Jose Gonzalez fan, but apparently not massive enough to know he had a band too. Junip is his Swedish folk band. They have only released a couple of EPs up until now, but an album is due in the next few months. As you would expect, the band gives Jose's magical voice more backing and a solid musical platform, yet it does not overtake him. Really really nice.
Shad Ft. Jermiside and Destruments - The Calling
Again regularly readers will have read me banging on about Canadian rapper Shad, and I will do so again. This track is actually a few years old but I only just stumbled across it and cannot stop listening to it, it's a gorgeous bit of hip hop. Watch a few videos of Shad on Youtube and you will soon see that the running theme across the comments is not just how talented this guy is, but the frustration at how unknown he is. Shad manages to stay away from rapping about hoes and ice, simply talking about life in general with clever metaphors and rhythms, some really inspiring stuff.
