Track Of The Day: “Sunset And Memories” – Blue Lab Beats X Kaidi Akinnibi

updated on Leave a Comment on Track Of The Day: “Sunset And Memories” – Blue Lab Beats X Kaidi Akinnibi

First up – this track is way too catchy – if you’re not disciplined enough to hold it down and keep it calm in public then I suggest you don’t play this. I’m serious. From the beginning you have a melody that hooks you, that’s sung by Colenso Abafana Benkokhelo and it’s pure fire, add …

Track Of The Day: “Crazy” – Gnarls Barkley

updated on

It’s strange to think that it’s 20 years since this came out. About a year later, I had it as my ringtone, but we’ll come back to that shortly. Gnarles Barkley was a pairing between Danger Mouse and CeeLo Green, and it was fabulous they actually went to number one with this track for 9 …

Hello Cory, how are you? I’m good, thanks! I’ve had had quite a bit of time off the road over the last couple of months, so I’ve been chilling and being creative in my studio everyday when my kids are at school.  Congratulations on the release of “Lost In The Wonder” how does it feel …

Track Of The Day: “Groove Is In The Heart” – Deee-Lite

updated on

Throwback Track Of The Day “Groove Is In The Heart – Deee-Lite.@theonlyjosie reminded me that this track was 35 years old. I remember the year it came out, it was a heady time, it was pre Madchester, Oasis were still in nappies and Grunge was still in the Delta Quadrant. This further brought the possibilities of …

Track Of The Day: “Queen Of Queens” – Vanity Fairy

updated on

On first listen I thought I’d been transported back to 1984 – neon signs, enough hairspray to destroy the ozone layer, and the ubiquitous Linndrum which I’m suspecting I’m hearing here. This has all the makings of a track made in the nerve centre of Prince’s genius, and it’s done so well! All the funk, …

Track Of The Day: “Listen To The Crows” – Unity X DJ Jaffa

updated on

In doing my weekly crate digging for new releases I came across this gem of a track. It’s a hip hop head bopper from Wales’s Unity and she brings tongue twisting lyrical excellence to this track – and what a track – the beat plods along nicely, made up of kick, snare, hi hat, vocal …

Hello Fini how are you? I’m great, thanks! Congratulations on the release of “Last Night Of The World” how does it feel? It feels really good- it was a long time coming (from conception to realisation) and it straddles the birth of my daughter, so I am relieved & also proud to have wrapped it …

Well! Vulfpeck dropped fire again. I mean it’s Vulfpeck… what do you expect? Just to give you a bit of background, I get recommended tracks from everywhere. There are the usual sources, instagram, Spotify release radar, going through the FOTN inbox, Apple Music, the precious PRs, pluggers, record labels, other bloggers… but this one? This …
