Lovebirds Feat. Holly Backler ''Give Me A Sign'' Teardrop Recordings
Traxsource
I'm sure we all wondered if Lovebirds could create another hit-single worthy of 'Want You In My Soul', well, let's not procrastinate any further. Slightly more funky and disco-ey than it's hit Deep House predecessor, yet as enthralling and vocally-sing-alongy, you can bet it will set fire to quite a few dance-floors.
The Candle Family 'Love Theme From Two Hearts' Unforgettable
Put some sunshine into your life with this lovely and sleazy disco theme.

January Top Five
Thankfully it's not all doom and gloom during cold January and music lovers can beat the winter blues by indulging in some rather wonderful records released this month. Here are my top five picks for y'all:
- Anushka 'Never Can Decide (Ivy Lab Remix)' Brownswood Records.
The honourable Gilles Peterson (my favourite radio presenter) did a wonderful job scouring for remixers for his latest popular signing: Anushka. He offers 2 fantastic re-interpretations of 'Never Can Decide' by eclectic electronic artist GoldFFinch, and Drum & Bass trio Ivy Lab. I'm very much delighted by the latter, a superb work of liquid Drum & Bass which embellishes the original's vocals all the while offering that classy 'rolling' groove we love so much in the genre.
- Cristobal & The Sea ‘Sunset of our Troubles’ Unsigned.
Ok, so I’m cheating a little as this is an unsigned song and it was posted on Soundcloud some time last year, but this is nevertheless a new discovery that I’m super enchanted with. I love nothing more than different cultures and styles of music brought together, and what’s not to love when Folk with an eerie sense of Jazz is so brilliantly combined with Bossanova. J’adore.
- Acharne 'Ghostling' Seppuku Records.
Incognito Berlin techno artist (yes, another one) releases his first material on the brand new and cryptic Seppuku Records. I'm not usually into Techno, but I have to admit there is something rather compelling in Ghostling's industrial feel, twisted vocals and thick drum patterns which ultimately render a pretty slick and unremitting rhythm. Dark - but captivating.
- TCTS ‘These Heights (Detroit Swindle Mile High Club Mix)’ Greco-Roman
Whoever this Detroit Swindle person is - he’s got the Midas touch, because all his records and remixes are GOLD. You can instantly recognise his brilliant production style of elegant loops that are full of swing with synths and strings that elevate the vibe to a natural frenzy. While most folk are talking about his signings on Dirt Crew Recordings, this remix on UK favourite Greco-Roman is definitely worth putting in your record bag.
- Andrew Ashong 'Special' Which Way Records
The singer songwriter finally returns with a brand new and shiny EP following his debut on Theo Parrishes' Sound Signature with the wonderful 'Flowers'. It was difficult to choose between ‘Love the Way’ which is nothing short of a sweet, unspoken serenade and ‘Special’, but I have to admit I’m a complete sucker for the latter’s longing vocals sitting on a very mellow soul of stripped down funk. The perfect winter warmer, if you will.

Best of 2013
Better late than never!
There have been a multitude of wonderful tracks to note, such as Dusky's 'Careless' for the night groovers, Philip Owusu's 'Goodnight' for the nu-jazz aficionados and Kaytranada's sexy remix of Snakehips 'On & On' for the victims of unreciprocated love.
Now, I could write a top-ten like 2012's picks, but due to time constraints and perhaps a little laziness on my part, I'm simply going to post the two tracks which have stood out for me the most, as follows:
MermaidS - Run with the Night - Foto Recordings
Instant 'OH MY GOD - this track is a bomb' moment. A 7.55 min long no nonsense dancefloor record with an intoxicating, reverberating rhythm that builds over three different layers of classy house, disco and general frenzy-ness.
By far the best 'Dance' tune of the year for me. If this track doesn't make you want to groove then you are not human.
Tall Black Guy - The Motor is Running - First Word Records
A marvelous composition that elegantly swings between Electronica and Jazz, in which the underlying notes of boom-bap and inebriating string patterns render a subliminal rhythm of stunning musicality.
I'm completely and utterly head over heels for this one and it would claim the #1 spot if I wrote that top ten for 2013.
Voila! Here's to another year of us not being able to relinquish our thirst for music. Thank you for following my blog and reading my random sentiments on music. Mwah x
