Returning this year are familiar faces armed with a new collection of songs. Looking ahead, here are a selection of those to be most excited about. MAJOR LAZER “Now that people know what Major Lazer is we can skip a lot of the ground work,” beams the globe-trotting chameleonic don of dance Diplo, who makes up one-half of neo-dancehall outfit Major Lazer alongside fidget-house producer Switch. The dynamic duo dropped debut ‘Guns Don’t Kill People - Lazers Do’ in mid-2009, a storming collaborative frenzy that fused authentic Jamaican riddims with modern bass-heavy hip-hop. Its successor, the Philadelphian explains, is set ...

Download link is in the original post Song: Ladyhawke - Black, White & Blue [download here ] What's so good? When New Zealand-based Ladyhawke released her self-titled first album back in 2008, she quickly saw it hit the top of the charts in her home country. She then went on to win six awards at the New Zealand Music Awards. While I’d never actually heard of the event until writing that sentence, it does seem like a notable feat. So, perhaps owing to the fact that she’s a one-girl-band, it’s taken four years to prep the new material. “Black ...

Words: Saam Das 25 year old Londoner (hey, me too) Stella Le Page cut her teeth as a member of synth-pop outfit Primary 1 's live band as well as recording cello parts for Plan B . After dropping a succession of covers last year, 2012 sees Stella stepping out on her own two feet properly - her sassy debut single, 'Snake', is released digitally today. Stella recorded eight covers in 2011, taking on a blistering variety of tracks by the likes of The Weeknd , James Blake , Robyn and Nancy Sinatra . Influences on her music? At some level, I guess they all ...

So normally I'm not in to posting music festival set lists (see the 0 that we've done before), but this year is different. I'll be venturing down to the music portion of South by South West in my former home of Austin, TX and might just get a press pass to cover the event for a much more popular blog than this one. Don't worry I'd still post obscure twit-pics and one-liners from @hypefloats. Anyoo the potential set-list of performers slated to show if they don't get to high on Hydrocodone and miss their ...

Little Boots, i.e., Victoria Hesketh, releases the first single off her upcoming sophomore album and it's an enticing slice of electro-dance-pop cake.

Little Boots “gifted” SoundCloud users with this one minute experimental track. The dark synth beats are nowhere near the level of sophistication of Emika but it’s cool to get a listen of the back office toils of the electropopist, right? I guess? Sounds from Sunday morning by LittleBoots

I’m a sucker for blondes. Don’t ask me why, but I’m easily attracted to blondes. Some of my favorite actresses of all time are blondes: Meryl Streep, Scarlett Johansson, Carey Mulligan, Marilyn Monroe and Charlize Theron. There is some kind of quality they seem to possess over me and I can’t quite put my finger on it. Now I have a new blonde in my life. Irresistible. Intelligent. Imaginative. No, I’m not just writing adjectives that start with the letter “I” or describing a girl I’m dating, but the voice of an angel named ...

Little Boots nous offre un joli petit cadeau musical en cette fin de dimanche d’hiver. Un morceau expérimental d’une minute qui porte plutôt bien son nom, Sounds from Sunday Morning. Un petit coup de communication qui pourrait nous annoncer un nouveau single en vue de la sortie de son second album annoncé par son label [...]

Lana Del Rey was previously on the cover of some magazine that I have never heard of [ link ], but now it seems like she has topped herself by gracing the cover of some other magazine that I have never heard of. If I had to guess, both are 'foreign magazines' that just like to put 'it girls' on their cover, even if they know 'damn well' that the girl's buzz is gonna die. Sorta like Uffie , Little Boots, or other random broads who every1 was all like 'omg they are the next big thing' but now they are picking ...

Click here for download Sounds like: Little Boots, Goldfrapp, Haley Song: Kaskade - Fire In Your New Shoes (Ft. Dragonette) [download here ] What's so good? It’s a bit of an oldie, but still a goodie. “Fire In Your New Shoes,” featuring the vocal contributions of Dragonette’s Martina Sorbara, was released back in May of 2010 on the album Dynasty . I only just stumbled across the track yesterday, but I’ve come to quite like the snappiness of the track. For context, while Dragonette is actually a three-piece electro-pop group from Toronto, this isn’t their first adventure into ...

If Little Boots ever fell into the grid and they made Tron 3, these beats would be the title track to the movie. It would more than likely feature Jean Michel Jarre with some laser harp or other in the bar having a pint with The HumanLeague and Giorgio Moroder You should definitely check out this very dreamy Miracle Remix of a very fine track.

More new Little Boots! Débuting on Radio 1 last week this track from her forthcoming new album see her teaming up with Electro-House producer Michael Woods. ‘I Wish’ is probably the closest thing to a ‘bang0r’ that Boots has ever done. this is a track aimed purely at peak time, big room dancefloors rather than [...]
