J£ZUS MILLION - Illusions Of ft. Charli XCX


It's not the first time J£ZUS MILLION and Charli XCX have hooked up for a collaboration, as you may know he also provided the beats for "Cloud Aura" and "What I Like", and it's understandable why these two seem to keep coming back to each other, the hand seems to fit the glove perfectly.

Big fan of them both and can't wait to hear more of what they each have to offer, separately or together.
"Illusions Of" is the first taste of what we can expect to hear from J£ZUS MILLION's mixtape.
Keep posted to his Facebook to be the first to get his mixtape, at only 19 years-old, you can be sure to expect some big things.

Cyril Hahn - Perfect Form ft. Shy Girls

So Cyril Hahn has already made a big name for himself through the various remixes he's done of world-class songs, however he's now stepped it up even further and revealed his debut single 'Perfect Form' wielding a feature from Shy Girls. I expected the usual ambient house vibes but was pleasantly surprised by a more upbeat track from the Switzerland-born, Canadian-based producer.

'Perfect Form' is out on 9th September 2013 and i'm expecting this is the beginnings of a very commercial success for Cyril Hahn.

DEVolution - Admire

Coming off the back of their last single 'My Friends' that gained popularity like wildfire and was being played in all the clubs by some serious talents within weeks of its release; Southampton-based producers DEVolution have unveiled their latest creation 'Admire' which to me is sounding equally as catchy and crowd-pleasing as their last.

Due for release August 25th on Cadence Recordings.

Wilkinson - Heartbeat (Calyx & Tebee Remix)


Calyx & Teebee have done it again! these guys never fail to do a remix justice, this is my personal favourite version of this track.
The full version will be available for download from the 4th August off of Wilkinson's 'Heartbeat' EP via RAM Records.

SNAKEHIPS - Make It

Nice to wake up on a dreary Monday morning to a free download available from Annie Mac's 'Free Music Monday' - this week it comes from a producer absolutely smashing the music scene at the minute, Snakehips.
This is one for the big speakers and is one i'm looking forward to hearing beast the club dance floors.
Download, turn it loud, and enjoy.

Clean Bandit - Dust Clears


I have so much time for Clean Bandit, ever since I saw them supporting Disclosure last March they've only been moving up since. 
They've released their new video for their latest single 'Dust Clears' which has that same classical string influence accompanied with a catchy house beat, similar to their previous releases. The video is absolutely incredible, as is every other video i've seen from them - it's a real nice touch when artists put a similar amount of effort in making a music video as visually aesthetic as the song itself - all filmed, directed and produced by the Clean Bandit collective.

"Dust Clears" EP will be available for download July 29th via Atlantic.

Pedestrian - Hoyle Road

Heres the official music video to Pedestrian's brand new single 'Hoyle Road'. A real nice listen accompanied by a well-shot video - the sounds and vocals on this track are reminiscent of previous SBTRKT releases, but be assured this will be a tune we're going to be hearing a lot more of through the summer.

Mac Miller - Watching Movies With The Sound Off


Gee Whizz have I been lapping up every little taste of the new Mac Miller album. 'Watching Movies With The Sound Off' was leaked before its official release (which is dropping officially on June 18th), and after giving it a full listen I'm not one bit disappointed, it's got every kind of hip-hop jam for whatever mood you're in.

Not to mention some beast features and production collaborations from the likes of Schoolboy Q, Tyler The Creator and Diplo.


I've been a fan of Mac's work since the word go, I went and saw his first UK show in O2 Shepherds Bush for my 19th Birthday in the run up to the release of 'Best Day Ever' and i've loved to hear his music mature so appropriately - the guys nothing short of inspirational in my books, being the same age as me, self-employed and undeniably talented. Even though the album has leaked, it's worth every penny purchasing. 

I'm going to stop brown-nosing now in order to try and rescue some of my Dignity.

'Watching Movies' video dropped today, check it and pre-order the album below:

Hybrid Minds - Halcyon ft. Grimm


Hybrid Minds are certainly no strangers to this blog, and if theres one thing notable about my music taste it's that atmospheric liquid drum & bass is huge vice of mine and Hybrid Minds seem to tug at my musical heartstrings with every single production i've heard. It's for this reason that their forthcoming debut album 'Mountains' has to be one of my most anticipated albums of the year. The guys are just incredible.

They've been teasing by releasing a couple new tracks including 'Halcyon' which you can listen to below - if the musical quality is consistent to their previously released tracks i'm sure the album will be nothing short of sheer brilliance.

'Mountains' is forthcoming on Spearhead Records (15/7/13).

Danny Byrd - Battle (ft. Mz Bratt)

Not the usual drum & bass sounds from Hospital legend Danny Byrd, and him being a huge pioneer of Drum & Bass in my eyes, that is something I would usually get frustrated with, however, i'm absolutely loving the Caribbean vibes on this track. Just goes to show his skills when it comes to production variation.
 Featuring vocals from Mz Bratt, this makes for a huge summer party track.

For those who haven't given it a listen, I give Danny Byrd's latest 'Golden Ticket' album a massive thumbs up. Purchase below:


Moko - Hand On Heart


This is the first i've heard from London-based soul-singer Moko, but with these luscious vocals in partnership with this unique and stylish video it looks like momentum is on the 21 y/o singers side.

Asher Roth - Pass That Dutch


Honestly, i've never been a fan of Asher Roth, its undeniable he has a talented way with words but i've always viewed him as more of a novelty as a white rapper rather than one that deserves commercial respect and 'The Bread Aisle' wasn't anything I considered worth raving about.
However, I came across this in my excitement for the upcoming Mac Miller album, and thought its worth the free download - Asher uses his lyrical flow over Missy's massive joint 'Pass That Dutch' - its enough to salvage my opinion of him for now at least.

Roth's followup album  'The Greenhouse Effect Vol. 2' is upcoming and he's been releasing tracks to stream via his FB; https://www.facebook.com/Asherroth

Ghost Town DJ's - My Boo (Wave Racer Remix)

Nice spin on a 90's classic.

Ellie Goulding - I Need Your Love (Pretty Pink edit)

Whilst on the note of good edits, the original of this is a guilty pleasure of mine but this edit puts the song in a whole other place.

Passenger - Caravan (Zwette Edit)

It's not all about bass-heavy tunes here, we all need some downtime, especially if you've had the weekend I have at Parklife. So I present you with this nice little edit from Zwette of Passenger's 'Caravan'. Definitely one for the summer playlist.

Charli XCX - Cloud Aura ft. Brooke Candy


This isn't a brand new song and i've been aware of its existence for a while now but recently it's like I haven't been able to escape it, i'm seeing it promoted all over the place and i'm a big fan of the unique vision Charli XCX is bringing to the music industry, and its a pretty badass video too, so here you go - official video for Cloud Aura, produced by J£ZUS MILLION.

Available to download free as part of the Super Ultra mixtape, available below
