When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth

I first came across Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs a year back when an EP of his was on special offer on Itunes at 4 tracks for just £1.29. At first I thought these tracks must’ve been on offer because they were crap. But with a name like Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs this guy just had […]

It’s the Sound of the Police

It seems like Night Slugs and Sound Pellegrino are both killing it respectively as labels at the moment, but one label that has had me hooked from the start with a series of quality releases and compilations since around late last year, is the Portuguese based label Enchufada, ran by the boys out of Buraka […]

Like a Satellite Careening through the Sky

Everyones probably experienced that moment in a club or festival where a dj drops a big tune and everyone goes ‘Woahhhhhhhahhhhhhh’. Drinks get spilled, people get barged and that token small girl finds herself grinding the floor, fighting for her life. ‘Baggy Bottom Boys‘ by Canadian duo Jokers Of The Scene successfully blew me into […]

Etched Like a Headplate

It seems like all the kids on the streets at the moment just want to make bangers. Nothing wrong with bangers mind you. I love bangers, but when I find a 17 year old producer going by the name of Etch, making beats like Flying Lotus and Mount Kimbie, it just makes me let out […]

Power to the Modular

Don’t you hate it when a successful band eventually break up and the individual band members try to ride out a solo career only to fail miserably. Usually a recipe for disaster but there’s always those remarkable exceptions. Ever wondered what happened to the bass player of Simian? We all know Ford and Shaw both went […]

A Great Emblem

Now this EP has been out for a couple of weeks now, but with the release of Flying Lotus‘ new album ‘Cosmogramma’ which bares resemblances, it only felt fitting to do a post on this, considering how good it is. Gold Panda is a London based producer making beautifully constructed pieces of electronic music, with a […]

Five Mixes Are Better Than One: Part II

In the last ‘Five Mixes Are Better Than One’ post, I said I only had three gig left of memory on my iPod. I now only have two miserable gigs left. I’m dreading the day in which I have to decide what goes on and what doesn’t. The thought of remembering a song whilst you’re […]

It’s Criminal, Let’s Get Clinical

Representing Brighton here! We’ve had a fair share of artists emerge from the buzzing sea side city, but one artist that repeatedly continues to impress me is Mumdance, with his take on blending electro, dancehall and grime all into one hot, juicy package. Brought into the limelight by Diplo after impressing him with the bootleg […]

Truancy Volume 9: Kenton Slash Demon

Some of you may have already heard of these two guys from When Saints Go Machine, the critically acclaimed Danish indie band who have seen huge success worldwide, especially with the release of their debut album Ten Makes A Face, but not many of you might have heard of Silas and Jonas’s more club orientated […]

Now’s the Only Time I Know

Now we here at Truants are massive fans of Italian producer NT89 and have been following him for quite a while. The mix he did for TRUANTS was nothing short of amazing, choosing to take a more laid back approach with track selection instead of a mix for the club. He’s seen huge success through […]

We’re Ready When You Are

Last month I purchased a 12 inch and in that month it has probably racked up more plays on my record player than any other record in my entire collection. Being a huge fan of Kieran Hebden’s work (also known as Four Tet) I was incredibly excited to find out that a new extended version […]
