Sorry that it’s been slightly inactive recently. Luu is busy at the moment and I have been busy with a few other projects so I thought I’d give a quick round up of some things from the last month! Firstly I’d like to mention local DJ and producer, Udy...

Just a quick one to let you know that I am still alive! - I first heard about Christopher Just following a Shinichi Osawa remix of his and his brothers song, Popper, released the second Kitsuné Maison Compilation a few years back now...

“Invaders Must Die” - it is, for me, one of those releases that stands out above pretty much anything else. The Prodigy have a tradition for lengthy gaps between albums (a lovely 5 years this time) but manage to pull off a great LP each time...

Sorry, this is a slight deviation from the norm for me and the dance/electro scene but I feel like I should mention it. For anyone that knows me well enough, I am and have been a big fan of Alkaline Trio for about 8/9 years now...

I do have to apologise about the lack of electro input over the last month - my lovely 6 month old iMac decided to fail on me, thus meaning I am now writing this on a dreaded PC...

This is going to be a nice little packet of juicy musical jumble for you to pick apart and process… So much has been going on my only option was to shove it all neatly into one post. Enjoy.. If you haven’t already, check out Dan Black’s website. It’s pretty swish...

Two Door Cinema Club are the beautiful trio from Bangor/Donaghadee, Northern Ireland, who have been raping my itunes of late with a mere few tracks… With their electro pop sound, influences such as Bloc Party, Arcade Fire and Wolf Parade and a cute boy-faced image; its easy to see why...

And I offer you Marina And The Diamonds, a beautiful girl with a beautiful sound. Ever since hearing this girl she has been on the mind. She’s nothing less than awesome. I haven’t had a pet favorite for a while and she’s certainly filling the void...

Sorry about the blog being down for a couple of hours today. Hope it wasn’t too disruptive. I can now unveil why my posts are a little few and far between at the moment; Eyemaylisten is going visual! That’s right kids.. we are going to be on tv! Well.. our local univercity’s tv...

Well I feel that as I am posting this on the first day of the grand year that is Two Thousand and Nine I should put up some of my preferred music released in the last 12 months...

Alas, I have found a new local band that I feel like I should mention to anyone reading! They are called Lighthouses. Tagged with “Think Justice meets Bowie crossed with Bloc Party”. they have an interesting sound that I am enjoying listening to on the world that is myspace...

Just a quick post to let you know about some guys that I have recently started listening to again. Leo “Olja” Drougge and August “Benni” Hellsing make up the duo that are Lo-Fi-Fnk ...

Ok ok so I’ve been a little busy with a new project for Eyemaylisten (news to come shortly), but I’m back to share an awesome sound.. The Japanese Popstars. These guys have a beautiful if slightly arrogantly named debut album out; ‘We Just Are.’ which I have had the fortune to taste...

I have recently been introduced to Eleanor Jackson aka La Roux. I first heard her first single, “Quicksand” a couple of weeks back when it came in at second on the track listing of the aforementioned Kitsuné Maison Compilation 6. This is now being released through Kitsuné on the 15th December...

7 Venues down, 10 to go. This is the “Annie Mac Presents” Tour of the UK which I am really annoyed I am not able to attend. The madness started in Lincoln on the 28th September with Annie Mac, Simian Mobile disco and others at the Engine Shed...

Well goodness me, didn’t that take some time. Our internet resources have been out for a long long time.. and still are.. but alas, we are learning to work around it. At least until VIRGIN sort themselves out. I have also literally JUST got back from Istanbul...
