Nosaj Thing

Jason Chung. Electronica artist who is currently based in Los Angeles. He has done remixes of the XX and Radiohead however the the biggest reason that you know this guy is good is because he may have actually remixed a Flying Lotus record that is BETTER than the original. "Camel" is an epic song in its own night, yet Nosaj Thing adds another much appreciated electronnic element to an already hectically class tune.

"IOIO" is in my opinion the stand out track on his recently released album "Drift" followed closely by "Coat of Arms". A well chosen name to the album as you can easliy slip from one track to another and end up listening to the whole album. Really good shit.

Kyte.

All too often debut albums are tentative forays into bandwagon-joining, substance-less, scene-fucking blandness. But with more than half of Kytes songs being well over six minutes , and with a sound shamelessly epic, Kyte are not about to be rushed, and none of the above adjectives could conceivably be attributed to them.

My personal favorite track of the album is Boundaries. The song is built around a fragile, beautiful guitar melody, that ripens, swells, and bursts into a throbbing, unashamedly stunning piece of emotive music. With guitar and piano melodies so entwined they become inseparable.

The video was put together by 'Enterthetreehouse'. The simplicity of it almost makes it more powerful. All in all, a real treat for both eyes and ears guys.

Andreya Triana

If you haven't already heard the voice of Andreya Triana, when you do, you will have a very hard job picking a fault with it, however small. Similar to Alice Russell who is also extremely talented, Andreya has worked with Mr. Scruff and Bonobo. Her Debut Album was released 3 days ago and having heard hit only once we are already a huge fan. What puts the cherry on the already bloody brilliant cake is that Flying Lotus has done a remix of the title track "Lost Where I Belong". If there could be another cheeky little cherry on our existing cherry, it's that you can get it for free by simply joining Big Andreya's mailing list. Here you go, a little prezzie from the guyssss.

Thrasher WHP 2010

In my eyes it is very clear which of this years WHP line-ups is the top one. The WHP returns to Manchester in September after ridiculous rumours that after last years stint, the most epic part of Manchester's music scene would reside elsewhere in the UK and never return to Manc. And so, yet again from 23rd September until 1st January we have an incredible array of DJ's, MC's and bands playing their own individual vibes to the chaos that is the WHP croud. The most common question in-between the release of the line-up and the opening day of the underground car park, turned best club in the country is, which line-up is the best? In my eyes there is only one winner..

Thrasher. 29th October. DONE. Spearheaded by the utter genius that is LA Producer and DJ Flying Lotus, the line-up is literally mind blowing. In terms of Beat Music/Glitch Hop or whatever you want to call it, i don't think i have seen a better line-up for this recently evolved genre of electronica, hip hop, deep house and whatever else you can hear in it.

Flying Lotus is backed up by some of the most exciting dj's in Manchester and residents of the Hoya:Hoya clubnight based at the dingy Roadhouse, a clubnight we are yet to attend but have heard amazing things from and it is safe to say we shall be a regular there from September.

Johnny Dub a founder of Hoya:Hoya is sure to be great, whilst Illum Sphere who has played Hoya:Hoya and is from the great city himself is sure to impress on the WHP stage.

A huge current favourite of mine also on the bill is a DJ from London named Floating Points. He has remixed Bonobo, Four Tet and the legendary French DJ/Producer/Multi instrumentalist/Jesus look a like/Coolest man on earth, Sebastien Tellier, NOT THREE BAD! He has also released a couple of EP's i have managed to get my hands on, Vacuum Boogie being an absolute beat. If you are attending, be sure not to miss this guy..

Mala and Coki and Dorian Concept would also be very exciting to see. However for me, as long as i am right at the front preferably with a cheeky zoot when FlyLo walks on that stage, i am a very very very happy man.

Here's a few tunes to warm you up for the 29th. Get your tickets fast as this one will be very big. The biggest for a long time.

FlyLo- Quakes

Illum Sphere- Hoya:Hoya Vibes

Bonobo- Eyesdown (Floating Points Remix)

Flying Lotus- Melt

Existentialism

CMYK is only the third release from London electronic producer James Blake, who is only 21-- and the reason I keep saying "only" is because I get a little dumb thinking about how much ground he's covered in so few steps. His style is already recognizable: progressions of thick soul and jazz chords (a product of years of piano lessons), pitched-down and mangled vocals (often his own), and mid-tempo beats that balance synthesized sub-bass with handclaps, snaps, and other humanizing soundlets.
