EXAMPLE IS A RAPPER AGAIN!

EXAMPLE'S A RAPPER AGAIN 

made me really sad when on his last album my favourite rapper became a singer. He's just such a talented lyricist and there are less of him when he sings. this makes me feel like I'm back in Newcastle watching him rip across the stage to subtly tweaked arrangements. 

so painfully jealous of the lucky brits who have tickets to his sold out UK arena tour since he plays with a band and the sounds are so huge. 

the album comes out november 4th and it's gonna be a legend. the last one was mostly singing and was a bit vanilla, but with tracks produced by Benga, Feed Me, Skream, and a bunch o friends i'm super stoked for the new release. There's a big sampler of it here. enjoy :)

 

this is the guy i missed. 

so happy for him.

cheers.

...interesting...

...strange......

EXAMPLE + CALVIN HARRIS

i guess there's nothing WRONG with it...

a pretty steady new track from two of my favourites, so i suppose i should be more excited.

i just wish example would throw out a rap someday soon, his lyrics are freakin mesmerizing... and although i'm a house junkie, my heart's just a bit blue over this one. 

in essence: i'll let you know when it grows on me. 

cheers friends. 

NEWS UPDATE

the world needs to know that 

THIS MAN

just put up all his old mixtapes for FREE download

from when he looked LIKE THIS. 

 

MEEP. 

go treat yourselves to some don diablo, remixies and reflips and acoustic treats. 

this way.

GO.

i'm an all daydreamer now.

hold up... 
EXAMPLE + FLUX PAVILION
woah.

Daydreamer premiered last night somewhere on the London radiowaves, but for all of us isolated on this side o the pond, it arrives in video form a little later. 

enjoy some killer bass and example's shining voice sliding down a rainbow.

later days.

change your life and the way you kissed me.

I would KILL to have been there. 
wish there was a better video of this. it's so beautiful. 

not enough people listen to EXAMPLE.

first time I saw him Changed The Way You Kissed Me hadn't been released yet, second time it was #1 in the UK and every person in Wembley stadium was bouncing. 
 this song is so close to me and my travels.

i'm just so happy that's all.

example i see what you did there...

how did i not realize this.

Skies Don't Lie alters the theme of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

favourite beatles song :) 

sorry i'm just recognizing this... 

Example, you sneaky and brilliant man.

sweet dreams kids.

friction

so following example on twitter will  be the most entertaining thing you'll do today. 

he also tweets about songs that are so up his alley it's surreal. 

meet FRICTION

this Brighton man just released this wee gem yesterday.

it's got the structure of an example track with some fresh little strings and significant bass to start your tuesday morning of right.

 

eat up kids.

happy tuesday.

nasty bass

have we talked about example yet? 

well the man's easily my number one UK rapper... seen him twice live and his songs lend so well to performance... he's so fresh and inventive in dance music, mixing catchy hooks with rap with dubstep/drum n bass/house that is a little dark, a little happy pop, but not overwhelming.

what a strapping young brit.

well his latest single MIDNIGHT RUN (with a pretty stunning video shot in Iceland) has had me on a little treasure hunt of finding beats. 

it's got so many layers and sections but it works... oh just wait for that cheeky dubstep breakdown at the 2.53 minute mark. snuck up and bit ya didn't it.

one of the best two tracks on the album for SURE.

found out FEED ME produced the track. so i had to further investigate the realms of the interwebs to find this gem of a brit DJ.

this thing is freakin beautiful. just beautiful. 

enjoy, kids.
