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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
Read moreSome 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 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 […]
