Trek Life

New kid on the block in my music knowledge he is on point with that chicago hipster sound blended with slum village sound and the fact he has done some work with Hudson Mo well that in itself is for the win.

Lone

Lone returns with some stormers, using what sounds like the Kinetic Golden Girls sample for taking off and landing. He is producing some beautiful electro Chicago house sounds which take hints of inspiration from the days of Marshall Jefferson & the more modern Felix Da Housecat

Beautiful Dark Twisted fantasy


Sampling at its very best

Words cant describe the sheer brilliance of this album, its filled with drama, emotion and beautiful creativity.

From the video right through to the album it seems as if Kanye has picked up the hip hop flag and ran with it and best of all he isn't from NYC.



Yes the ladies voice at the begining is Nicki min

Jamiroquai back baring rock dust


So the new album was out 1st November under mercury records with the title Rock, dust, light, Star.

My advice to existing Jamiro fans "do not expect anything new and you will not be disappointed". However after a new sound well don't pick the album up.

Aside from a rockier guitar riff and a few synths there is no vast reinvention.

But you know what I like the album especially the tracks below try em out

white knuckle ride
hmm where have I seen a man driving around in a dessert at high speed oh yeah cosmic girl?

2 completely different things

hang over


Distal on admin


Distal got a new banger out called typewriter tune check it out, glitch house sounding music kinda funky.

N+E+R+D


creme of the new album Nothing
First listen in all honesty I just don't think it is as good as previous albums meaning Ill listen to this less than seeing sounds. The one thing I like is that they are always trying new sounds and styles and do not work within any genre based boundaries, the curse is that the album can sound like a mixtape with odd ball tracks thrown in. It doesn't take you on a journey.

perfect defect

life as a fish

Nothing on you

check out sacred temple as well

James blake


Cilled out mellow sounds of Mr Blake, its that soulful piano and dub sound from the drums that just keep me listening.

The tracks are so mellow that I feel that I should get bored but yet I wont turn off and instead find myself waiting but not being dissapointed.

Maximum Balloon


Maximum balloon released their self titled album on 10th sept and its just well its so good I wanna curse but I wont ill hold it in.

Creative, fun, funky, alternative and just brilliant. Every track is great.

WATCH OUT FOR THIS BAND and remember where you heard it first, now go heardrummers & tell the world or on second thoughts just buy album.






Grinderman - Ginderman 2


Nick Caves new project is cracking, some great bluesy, garagey tracks its quite explicit with crazy lyrics and dirty guitar rifts.



Underworld Moon in water


Ok Heardrummers checked out the new barking album from underworld and this track just kept me listening so it had to be posted. There is something really mystical and dreamy about it.

Interpol's new album Interpol


Interpol self titled album was released on 13th September under matador. The album is very similar to the first album also released under matador. Their a is a real strong presence of the back to basics principle. But aside from all that good album tracks below are my personal creme of the crop.

Janelle Monae

I blogged about her before http://mythsinmirrorsmusic.blogspot.com/2010/04/bit-of-rnb.html but again one to look out for this year.


I got a sneaky feeling she will be big, these tracks are smashing.






Her album was released in Mid may titled the ArchAndoid is so creative with jazz, funk, rnb & rock sounds and best of all the girl can sing, I put her on par with Amerie with the creativity of Andre 3000.

overall good album

Cee Lo smooth as eggs


I want you,

ever struggled to find the words? just get the track listing for this track.

Mayor

Tunnelvision




Rick Ross


Teflon don is the title of the new album released yesterday, the best track on the album is maybach music 3 featuring Erykah badu & TI & Jadakiss rest of the album is hmm? (that's not good)

The album reads like a P-diddy guest list with artists such as jay z, kanye west, drake and Raphael saadiq making an appearence.

but like a I say it just didn't set my world on fire anyway the maybach track is something special which is why I blogged the album in the first place check it out justus league knocked this one out of the park.

How I got over Rising Down


The Roots released their latest album on 25 June with the title HOW I GOT OVER, and its fantastic, beautiful, soulful hip hop.

Prior to this album I felt game theory was the best album produced by the Roots Crew but this is just something different.

They even managed to sneak Amber Coffman on the album. she is the singer from Rusko's latest summertime banger hold on.

check out some of the tracks and their latest video.

Submotioned


Submotion Orchestra

heard this tracks months ago but its just way to good not to be blogged.

kele O is the boxer


Today Bloc fans kele releases his new solo album.

You have probably heard the first single but if not well here it is.



On first listen this track is actually nothing like the rest of the album but its obviously gonna be a big hit with the clubbing crowd.

on the other hand it doesn't sound very Bloccy either which I think is a credit to him, how many other solo albums sound like the group that they have come from? lots is the answer.

My favourite track - unholy thoughts, it has a real metric sound, contradictory to what I said previously this does sound bloccy.

Madrid De Los Austrias & Dorfmeister


Dorfmeister hales from Austria and has worked with artists such as Roni Size Depeche Mode and Madonna.

Madrid De Los Austrias also from Austria is an electronica DJ, he remixed the track My friend by Groove Armada.

They released an album titled grand slam and created a really funky sound with tracks schnitz boogie no more (sampled the disco version) and Spanish Greese.





Wednesday 16 June 2010

Hudson Mo


Mr Mohawke just doing what he does best, the track is like something out of willy wonka or maybe even star trek.

Clara Hill


This German born songstress has worked with some of the greatest producer but yet still manages to some how remain under the radar of the main stream. Heardrum has decided its time to put an end to all this sneaking around.

Dj Day


Aka known Damien Beebe

Born in Palm Springs, Cali

He is a musician and producer, His track FOUR HILLS achieved Gilles Petersons track of the year on his worldwide show.


Massive Attack


Now I know this track is fairly old for all you Massive Attack die hard fans. I heard this for the first time as the introduction music to the Cop drama Luther.

The track is just beautiful and reminds me just how much we owe Bristol for their input in the British Music Industry.

Friday 14 May 2010

Cornelius










Video was created by Darwin Deez yes same people who created radar detector.

They recently had a spot on the Zane Lowe show and seem to be set for some big things in the coming year.

Cornelius However are a Japanese Rock band who have a real retro rock sound in this track fly (who doesn't these day's I know), but then they finish real funky and I gotta say I kinda like it.

Check the other track to get a more of an idea of the funky sound that I'm talking about.

wataridori is about as close as you can get to a track of the foals first album antiotes.

Wednesday 12 May 2010

NU Tone Spread Love



This classic has been re-worked be the genius that is Nu-tone, this version is just that little bit fizzier.

(Fact) London Electricity and Marmite have come together to create the spread the love campaign for party politics.

Special jars have been sent out along with hospital records goodie bags worth 50 squid

shame that I hate Marmite.

T G I Four Hero

Hip Hop looses a Pioneer







Doe Deer


Please note! its just a snippet and its very distorted as you would expect from castles, carry's the same energy and that edgy phsyco sound.

well I like it, it has a real death from above 1979 ring to it.

Darkstar




Lilyliver - loving vocals over harsh dubstep always a winner in my book

Out of touch - If keith sweat was a robot and sang about robot loving it would sound a little like this, hard to imagine I know but with a vocoder anything is possible

Tuesday 13 April 2010

Radar Detector


Darwin Deez,

I'm just gonna go all out and call this, I reckon this is gonna be played to death by the radio this summer.

If I am wrong I'm wrong!!

Crystal castles New track





Castles have released a new track so Ffffresssh that I cant get a copy as yet, its called Doe Deer and is due out 17th April.

As soon as I get a copy myself Ill send it your way, for the time being all you need to know is that its brilliant.

True Love For 10th May


Sorry about the dodgy radio edit, but truth be told it reminds me of the good old days when we cassette taped the top ten or latest track before it hit the music shops.

come to think about it cassette taping was our Napster or youtube back then.

Anyway Foals have decided that May 10th is a good date to release their second album True Love Forever.

I think the album is going to be qual-ity just remember where you heard this track second seen as its was first heard by listeners on Youtube.
