After spending 2011 catching ears and generating tons of buzz as featured guest on cuts from UK club giants Joker and SBTRKT, London-born singer/ songwriter Jessie Ware has exploded something big in recent months as a solo act, with much of the bloggeratti going nuts over her first two singles “Running” and “110%”, a one-two [...]

Superhero movies have been split down a pretty clear line when it comes to villains. There are the reality based baddies like we've seen in Christopher Nolan's Batman movies (Bane, The Joker), the more fantastical sort of antagonists like Loki or Red Skull in the Marvel movies, or just plain bizarre like that bad times vibe cloud in "Green Lantern." Marc Webb seems to be straddling the real and fantastical with "The Amazing Spider-Man," the franchise reboot that will see Rhys Ifans move from wife-stealing professor in "The Five-Year Engagement" to scientist-turned-CGI thingy villain. EW has dropped a ...

Between last year’s stunning Pacer EP and a strong live show, Brittany Bosco’s namesake project BOSCO has quickly become a darling of the local music scene. Just a couple months ago she put forth a three song EP titled Let Go Of Me, and it’s further evidence of a musical artist taking full advantage of [...]

Alongside Joker and Gemmy, Guido is one of the three best-known purveyors of the "purple" sound of Bristol. He's arguably the most consistent producer of that crew, exhibiting excellent quality control over a handful of singles and 2010's quietly brilliant Anidea LP. This 12-inch—the second 2012 release from Guido on his new personal label, State of Joy—is largely in keeping with his established brand of woozy, R&B-flavored; dubstep. There is, however, a more brooding, ruminative wrinkle to his usually joyous sound this time out. Toning down the lush, delightfully cheap-sounding instrumental components of much of his ...

Ukrainian prankster targets Smith at 'Men In Black 3' premiere

Son Raw wrote a think-piece and killed three releases in one review. I don’t like writing about music as if it were fashion. Some people may find it to be a useful parallel but reducing the meaning of music to the same base level as the endless commercial cycles clothing manufacturers use to hawk their… Continue reading »

Joker's latest single for Kapsize fails to improve on his disappointing LP by bringing a grating trance sensibility to the table.

If consistency were a ranked musical division, Joker would be one of the few acts capable of defending a championship belt. There are few contenders that have maintained their position with a signature style that remains equally as interesting on each new release. The Bristol producer is captain of the Kapsize label, which serves as the main vessel for producers like Ginz who have jointly designed an inspirational, trademark sound, coined as "Purple." Each Joker release is a highly anticipated one, and even though the newly released track " Skitta " has seen a lot of airtime as a dubplate, it's ...

OH91 is the Bristol young gun tipped by some to be 2012's answer to Joker, in terms of youthful prodigiousness (is that a word?). His house, garage and grime productions are turning heads at the moment; look out for this guy because I think he's going to be going places. Head over to Get Some  to check some decent words with the guy; the tunes are linked here ('after the drop' as people seem to enjoy saying - *shudder*): ---- Gwyn Permalink | Leave a comment  »
