This is rowdy. By applying more cowbell and more brass than most bands would know what to do with Saint Motel's My Type is a balls out tumble down the stairs whilst you find your feet and fly out the front-door kind of tail of love and affection. Saint Motel are from LA but inspired by British culture. My Type follows on from Saint Motel's 2012 debut, Voyuer.
Joe Hertz has already released one single (last year's At Your Touch) and has released a lovely remix for MØ, amongst others. Isolate is a tight electronic R&B number featuring vocals from Kaleem Taylor and is the first release from Joe's debut EP, due later this year. Check it out above.
It's Friday. Let's be fucking better. Whatever it is you do - take some time today and try and do it much better.
This cut from Dedication is their debut release for DFA and has actually been knocking around for a couple of months. Dedication is a collaboration of Japanese musicians and Western singers led by producer and DJ Felix Dickinson and Japanese designer Mikey Yamada.
I can't really figure out how much of this is new, and how much is just sampled from old disco records but if even the vocal is original then frankly this record is a testament to doing something fucking better. I wish there were artists out there with the same passion and attention to detail as the groups that made all those amazing old disco records.
Today: Don't phone it in... Let's make something amazing.
Loving this emotive lead track from the EP of the same name, Ancient Light. Check out the full EP when it drops on 16 June.
Lovely bouncy electronic house music with a London twist.
