Free Hugs

I first heard The 2 Bears on Annie Nightingale's show last summer, but then I completely forgot about them. What a fool I am, that's half a year of missing out on their fruity tutti tunes. I think I need to make up for lost time, starting with Bear Hug:

I don't know if I should be too harsh on Lethal Bizzle about his latest track. I was going to say something about jumping on the dubstep bandwagon with the wide bass for the track Not A Saint, but to be fair to him I think thats just the way UK hip-hop / Grim is going.

One thing is for sure and that is the video is shit, if you want a decent video check out M.I.A.s track from last month: Bad Girls.

The Current Pun

Data seems to have squezed the best and the worst of '80s rock into his tracks. Expect to hear a lot more from him since his catchy track One in a million was used in a car ad.
I'm not sure if like Data, but i do like his name, though it is quite similar to the ace Norwegian duo Datarock.

I'm getting pretty bored of crap DJ names, based on lame puns. As a half arsed DJ myself, thinking of new DJ names is something I do all the time (much more regularly than actually playing live), basing your name on someone else's just seems lazy.

Joy Orbison maybe a talented DJ but his name makes me think of a crappy tribute act, some shit pastiche of someone elses fame. Maybe you disagree, maybe you think Ceefax is a crappy name and I should shut up, let me know below, on facebook or twitter

Some good bands done some albums

I am disturbingly excited by the new of Montreal album Paralytic Stalks released last week . It's simply fantastic...

Next up, an old Exeter favourite Paddy Johnston & the love explosion did this short album songs on a comically small guitar which is lovely. You can download the tracks (for free) and read his blog over on his website.

Lastly, while we're on this theme - thought I'd slip in a mention of the bombay bicycle club - brilliant band I only discovered recently. They feel like a slightly less clean pheonix? anyway this is your eyes:

Zebra fucking Katz!

If you like your music low and unnerving them you will love this odd track by Brooklyn fella Zebra Katz, featuring Reddd Foxx:


This track is just as weird but a little less intimidating, infact it almost reminds me of a friend of mine...



I don't much out about this guy, but I'm pretty out of touch sometimes - I wouldn't be supprised to find out he's had a the Christmas number one and I wasn't paying attention. Anyway here is a mix of some of his tracks if you need more Katz:

Zebra Katz // Champagne // Mixed by DJ Teenwolf by Zebrakatz on Mixcloud

Jump up old school!

Happy New Year kids.

Check out DJ Yoda's updated take on some old timey tunes in this frankly insane track, One O'Clock Jump:
