21st century entertainment

Here I present a video from The Bamboos, simple. It was shot around the time their album was recorded and shows an insight into the recording process, as well the good nature of the band.

This is amazing

This is one of the best things I've heard in ages. James Blake is truly versatile and you can tell he has a great love and understanding of music. I've loved his other stuff and this just took me by surprise it's truly beautiful.

The Band That Doesn't Exist

I think this is the best music I've ever heard that has been created by a band that doesn't exist. The band is Skeletons and to quote the blurb “Skeletons is a made up band. I kid you not - it doesn't exist. These musicians never stood in the studio together, they just passed through my house or left some scraps of sound behind after sessions we were working on. This record is like a guy, pieced together and ready for the bonfire." The man behind it all is Benedic Lamdin better known as Nostalgia 77. ‘Smile’ is the full album, out on CD and digital on 1st March 2010 on Impossible Ark Records. Featured track is "Adam And Eve feat. The Voice of Alice Russell"

Zero DB (I can't think of a better title)

Hey team, keep an eye out for another "One Off Remixes & B-Sides" release coming out on Tru-Thoughts. This time it's from Zero DB, I must admit I don't have a lot of their music just a couple of joints from Gilles Peterson compilations, but I have always been a big fan of their Grupo Batuque remix. Got sent a few tracks from this forthcoming album and I must admit I'm impressed, it's sort of Gotan Project, meets Prefuse 73 but with that Tru-Thoughts sound underpinning it all. Zero dB’s ‘One Offs, Remixes and B Sides’ is not only an essential listen for existing fans of Zero dB’s unique concoction of Latin heat, jazz colour, startling beats and pure bassline filth, but for anyone who has been remotely moved by dance music in the last half decade. Much Love.
