THE WEEKND/ROLLING STONE

Off The Weeknd's new mixtape 'Thursday'

INNERPARTYSYSTEM

I  really forgot how much i love this band. Their self titled album, released in September 2008 is such a good album and they have a sound like no one else. Although i didn't get round to seeing them at Wakestock this year, they are said to be known for their light shows and lazers at concerts and also for their creative and sometimes contraversial videos. Sadly, now they have decided to go on an indefinite hiatus..

WHERE YOU SHOULD BE

London raised dubstep producer Skream released this track featuring Sam Frank on May 16th via Tempa , taken off  the album 'Outside The Box' , his second album after his debut 'Skream!' released in 2006, this is his second solo album but worked alongside Benga and Artwork for the release of Magnetic Man's self titled debut album in October of last year. This is one of two singles released from the second album, the other being 'Listenin' To The Records On My Wall'. With as Annie Mac (BBCR1) described 'heartbreaking' chord changes and Skream's ever laid back- chilled out, electronic dubstep vibe, its another clean track from him, I can't get enough of this song. I highly recommend the album, which also features collabs with La Roux and Murs.

MARRY ME.

I got so excited when i saw he was touring in Manchester this November! Need to buy Rolling Papers very soon.

LYDIA

An Indie rock band from Arizona, with powerful melodies beautiful lyrics and the haunting vocals of  Leighton Antelman they create a truly unique sound from many other labeled 'indie rock' bands around. Their debut album 'This December; It's One More and I'm Free' was released on on September 27, 2005 via Hourzero Records with popular songs like 'A Camera Lens and Careful Days' being re-recorded on their Hotel Sessions EP in 2009. One of my favourite indie rock albums has to be 'Illuminate', Lydia's second album, you can really feel the emotion in the tracks and the dreamy guitars and Leighton's echoing vocals are just incredible. 'Illuminate' is available to buy at most major  music stores. Personal favourites off the album;

HAIR INSPIRATION

LONDON RIOTS

‎'The youth of the Middle East rise up for basic freedoms.The youth of London rise up for a HD ready 42" plasma TV' - Stayed up all night on twitter following news about the riots and now watching bbc news channel, reporting on the riots, and looking out for it spreading to the area my brother is in. Its absolutley pathetic. Pure greed, they have no political opinion, no 'we're stealing from the rich' nonesense, purely not thinking about anyone but themselves wanting to get all the stuff they can, they can't think outside their own little world and by the youtube videos i've seen they all look about 15. Well they've fucked it now. They're gonna have to pay for it, don't see that its gonna affect them. Its so sad seeing so much hard work and passion in businesses, homes, communities going to waste in such a short space of time by lowlife scum with nothing better to do. And then for liverpool, leeds, birmingham, brisol to follow their footsteps, copycat rioting, is unbelievable. Have fun tonight when theres minimum 16,000 police in london tonight. I'm so angry, its heartbreaking.

WISHING WARS

This music is too beautiul not to share, Michigan's 'Wishing Wars' 6 track EP 'Swim' released last year is available to download via bandcamp, definitely worth checking out it out if you like chillwave & electronic, or just some chilled out tracks http://wishingwars.bandcamp.com/

ACTIVE CHILD / YOU ARE ALL I SEE ALBUM RELEASE

Following solo artist Pat Grossi's project, Active Child, after his 2010 release of Curtis Lane EP and single 'Playing House ft. How To Dress Well' comes the highly anticipated debut album. Mixing hymntronic, trip-hop, chillwave, indie, dream-pop synths and Pat's former choir boy vocals, it is definitely unlike anything in the charts, this type of music is not made for mainstream, in all honesty i don't think its ready for these kind of sounds, i really hope they never get their hands on this type of music and start reproducing it, the beautiful thing about it is that it really is so unique.

The 10 track debut album 'You Are All I See' is out on August 23rd on Vagrant records.

Pat himself says, “You Are All I See is an attempt to build a bridge between the listener and I, in that, I wrote these songs for you as much as I did for me. And right now when you are listening to my voice, by yourself, it really is just you and I.The songs focus primarily on the joy and heartbreak of relationships, love lost and rediscovered, battles with monogamy, battles with identity”

The second track 'Hanging On' from this album is available to dowload now for free from http://activechildmusic.com/tweet/
