I don’t really know any Turkish music, except maybe Tarkan and that creepy song about Facebook, so it’s pretty cool to learn that there are (young) Turks out there making nice glitchy downtempo electronica. Fuji Kureta, comprised of vocalist Deniz Öztürk and composer Sahin Kureta, formed two years ago in Istanbul.I found them by way […]

Out of all the stuff I found yesterday whilst looking through new releases, a track by someone I’ve never heard of before has to be the one I played the most. To be honest I know practically nothing on this artist/artists and google pretty much gives me nothing as well. Even the label’s site doesn’t […]

Think we all need to apologise for the slight absence the last 4 days and missing Sundays Best again but lots of new stuff and interviews should be all coming this week. With so much talent popping up everywhere at the moment it isn’t a surprise that new, promising labels are popping up too. London […]

A day is a long time in blogland. Azari and III’s latest release has been available for at least 24 hours and already I feel like it’s too late to post these tracks. But hey, it’s not as if they’re not worth sharing and talking about. Canadian production team Azari & III have put together […]

‘Wholesomely eccentric’ feels slightly like an oxymoron and might bring to mind that wild-eyed yet interesting drama teacher from school who used to waft around barefoot in a kaftan and get the class call her by her first name (“Hey guys, call me Jen”) – but I can think of no better words with which […]

I’ve just come across this album filled with a bunch of remixes of NickNack’s Dearly Departed. The original album came out a couple of months ago and, as DJ Ayres put it, “I would put this album in the same category as DJ Shadow – Endtroducing and RJD2 – Dead Ringer“. The remix album continues […]

I’ve been completely stumped when it comes to new music lately so I’m really glad this just landed in my inbox tonight. Fresh from Nightshifters comes Talk‘s Holy Mountain. It’s taking me back to that nightmare-dance-music trend I mentioned in my first post as a Truant, with its dark and angry synths and terrifying collusion […]

Mayer Hawthorne, né Andrew Mayer Cohen, is a talented American producer/songwriter. Mayer’s debut album ‘A Strange Arrangement‘ was released in ’09 by my all time favorite & legendary recordlabel Stones Throw records (J Dilla, Dam Funk, Madlib, aloe Blacc). “I think Mayer is the only artist in the history of the label that I’ve signed after […]

Going in completely the opposite direction of my more up beat post with Klever, a majorly wet morning followed by a sky completely covered with Cirrocumulus Clouds in Brighton has seen my mood somewhat relaxed and complaisant and I’d like to thank Woolfy’s new EP for this and I want to thank him a lot.

Ooooh, so it’s Thursday and I’m prepping tracks to play tomorrow night. I’m part of a collective in Dublin that plays loungey disco housey type stuff, and we love our 80s synth-pop and hacienda-era tunes. And just tonight Jon Averill, one of my favourite DJs, nay, people, and purveyor of the Shock World Service brand, […]

You feel that? It must be love, yeah. It feels like a whole lot of love for Jacques Greene, the skilled 21 y.o. Canadian producer that popped up earlier this year, and has two forthcoming releases planned to come out on LuckyMe (preview) and Night Slugs (12″ featuring Optimum). Expressing his love for The-Dream to Dazed […]

Happy Sunday’s Best, everyone! Unfortunately I won’t post the direct link to this Sunday’s Best track since it’s technically illegal, streaming will do! This track produced by our boy Swizz Beats, Roman’s Revenge, has dope 808’s drums and a filmic touch with strings and choirs and all that jazz. It It took me a while […]
