Friday tunes 35

Albums

Holy Fuck – Latin – Loving ‘Red Lights’ and ‘P.I.G.S.’ -  Hip Chipp-y / LCD Soundsystem-ish. Cheers NL!

Sbtrkt – SBTRKT – ‘Hold On’ (chilled in a James Blake style), ‘Wildfire’ (Massive Attack dub) & ‘Pharaohs’ (funky in a Stephane Pompougnac way) are amazing. Lots of very James Blake-style vocals throughout – great album. Cheers VS!

DBridge – The Gemini Principle – Some liquid DnB to see you through a rainy Friday. ‘Ponderosa’ = great track

Nero – Welcome Reality – Finally, after so many years of teasing! They’ve got their album out, and nailed it the week before hand with a UK #1, ‘Promises’! Who would have guessed it, congrats boys. Loving ‘Scorpions’ and ‘Must Be The Feeling’

The Lonely Island – Turtleneck & Chain – Good God. Just brilliant. Ha!

Single tracks

The Shapeshifters – Lola's Theme – Got to get myself to Ibiza!

The shifting balance of the music sector

Super interesting. Thanks NL!
