Stream: Jacque Greene- One Your Side (Feat. How To Dress Well)


Jacques Greene has a new EP set for release in early June. It will feature a number of guest vocalists, the vocals on this one are courtesy of How To Dress Well, chanelling a lot of Justin Timberlake in his delivery. The track itself is a strange one, on the one the hand the beats are frantically upbeat and tropical, however, there is an air of melancholy running deep through he track.

Video: Young Wonder- Electrified


The Young Wonder/Feel Good Lost machine is in overdrive, it seems we have seen video after video and track after track recently. I've reviewed the EP here, so I won't say anything about it here. As for the video, it is the visual feast we would expect from Feel Good Lost. Full of all the light, colour and texture layered up to perfection. More and more Rachael has become the face of the act while Ian moves further into the background. My only criticism of this video and most of those produced by Feel Good Lost is that they lack even an implied narrative. It seems like this would be the logical next step in Feel Good Lost transformation from live visuals producer to video producer.

Download: Che Mono- 301 Cuts


Named after the 301 Space Echo, Che Mono are back with their debut EP, 301 Cuts. If you were familiar with Nouveau Noise, it won't come as a huge surprise that Che Mono is Nouveau Noise's new moniker. Many of the trademark NN effects are still present, but now in the context of minimal, sonically rich house. The first couple of tracks released by Che Mono were very chaotic and hectic drawing on Juke beats, this new EP presents a more subdued Che Mono. Keep listening to the end, CCO is the EP's strongest track, full of textured and nuanced sounds and effects.

Stream: Disclosure- F For You


Keeping the disco summer of 2013 alive, Disclosure are back with one of their most interesting and progressive tracks yet. The track was apparently "performed" in a BBC session. Unfortunately there is no video, but the accompanying image shows one of the brothers holding a bass. Their album is set for release on the 3rd of June, and even if it only contained the tracks that have already been released, it would be one of the summer's best records.

Video: Kendrick Lamar- Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe


New video for Kendrick Lamar's "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe". A strange combination of a funeral and exuberant celebration, which Youtube commenters suggest could be a celebration of the death of bad hip hop.
The Jay Z verse hasn't been included here but Schoolboy Q has jumped on the end rapping over Chromatics' Cherry:
