a little May 2-4 treat

without bragging... i pride myself in having recognized all four samples featured in this masterclash upon my first encounter with it. 

'scuse me... got some dirt on ma shoulders. 

yes you're hearing little slices of 

GORILLAZ + CHIDDY BANG + TINIE TEMPAH + LABRINTH 

you just can't argue with Xaphoon Jones.

Stylo by Chiddy Bang has long since been a favourite, and Labrinth plays it off nicely by pulling in some UK grime courtesy of Tinie Tempah. 

So many vocal samples, so much jamming out with the sunroof down. 

To all my fellow Canadians driving home from their long weekend at the cottage, have a lovely last evening of freedom, and let us toast to the great Queen Victoria for having given us this much needed birthday holiday. 

God save the Queen.

like a freakin ray of sunshine.

good heavens i think i'm beaming...
etta bond WHO EVEN ARE YOU?
i first found this little gal mashing up some acoustic ed sheeran:






but who woulda thunk that this stunning acoustic soul voice would be the first artist signed to LABRINTH's label, not to mention collaborate with Wretch 32. 

what's this i hear? 
soul... UK... grime... DUBSTEP?!
WHO IS THIS WOMAN?! 
her and katy b seem to have the perfect formula down: a smooth soul voice on vicious grime/dubstep beats. i die. gets right in my bones.


approved.
cheers ducks.

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.

i just want it louder.

she deserves a way longer post.
