What is that Repetitive Melody Hypnotizing Me
Teki Latex – Dinosaurs With Guns (video) The attentive reader will have noticed that Teki Latex here has been dancing in our sidebar for over a day. The poor baby must be exhausted, and it will only get worse for all the Teki’s that live in a parallel universe. I mean, look at this video for his […]

It’s a London Thing
I’ve found myself in a bit of a predicament lately… I keep listening to all this UK Funky, Dubstep (the minimal percussive stuff as opposed to the hectic stuff featured on this lol-worthy tumblr) Glitch Hop, Juke, Future-Garage etc, and as a result have taken a temporary break from what I normally listen to. I’m […]

Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes
Skepticism used to predominate my musical household when it came to contemporary music, and particularly when it came to our generation’s artists who tried to do jazz or soul or something along those lines. I would’ve pshawed at pretty much any artist releasing a funk or blues or whatever genre record, and dismiss them for not playing […]

You Can’t Direct the Wind, But You Can Adjust Your Sails
So apparently it’s almost summer in the Northern Hemisphere, wherever that is. Though around 90% of the earth’s population hangs out there so I suppose it’s not fictional. Anyroad, I’m relatively jealous. See I’ve always had a prime interest in chilling out, and through extensive research I’m going to decide summer chillin’ is best. In […]

My Ghetto Eyes on His Ghetto Ass
Is this post an easy way out for me to post a picture of my first love, last love, only love, Pharrell Williams? Might be. My favourite producer ever has teamed up with that one hot chick who likes to crash your ppaarrtyy and kiss your MC, Uffie. I was a bit skeptical about this conjunction of musicians at […]

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 […]

The Greater Your Problem, the Greater Your Opportunity
So there was this BIG FUCKING POLITICAL SHINDING on the UK screens earlier and I mean JESUS SHIT dude that stuff was awesome. I mean so OFF THE WALL, you had the three main political parties battling it out against each other, it was INTENSE. I mean I’d never seen ANYTHING like it, it was […]

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 […]

When we first told you of Last Japan at the end of November we promised to get back to you soon, and here we are, (finally!) sticking to our word. Meet Last Japan: Our rockstarr from London has had tons of things going on musically, and on top of that he’s still been finding time […]

Hit Me With Lightning
I really tried, but I just can’t seem to get that whole wave of female singers that are supposedly putting out strong and forward music and all end up sounding exactly the same. Excluding Florence and her extraordinary lungs, I honestly have a hard time keeping most of them apart. They’re all made using the […]

Stop & Stare
HARRY BENSON – KUDZU (RAZIEK REMIX) (320 kbps) Harry Benson, do you remember? You better! Our modest companion from Leeds has just gotten a release on Get Flavor! It has two tracks and a couple of remixes: Kudzu, which is remixed by Venom & Domage and there’s another one done by the Montpellier-based Raziek, which is […]
Read moreSons de la Discothèque
Disco, funk, soul, jazz, rock, salsa, ballroom, electro-funk, rap, house, techno. All were (in addition to countless more I can’t be arsed to try and classify) members of the discotheque dance floor family, and all played a part in – and were in turn influenced by – the development of one of the most unique, […]
