my best friend is in a band named after his favourite thing in the whole world.

already featured by the effortlessly cool Don't Die Wondering, and soon to be bummed into hipster oblivion by a number of publications, D/R/U/G/S offer up their brand of cosmic electronic beats to the world in the form of 'Diamond Pacific', a track drenched in trippy blips and blobs.

three years.

totally missed my blog birthday a couple days ago. THREE YEARS.

thanks to anyone who's ever stolen a post, claimed that another blog tipped them off, used my work in their A&R meetings, DMCA'd my arse, left me a spam comment or taken me off their blog roll because i'm not l33t enough. you guys are AWSM.

have something trendy.

stop fronting.

pop starlet in the making Sophie-Rose has already had a teeny taste of the limelight as a backing vocalist for Mystery Jets, but now it's her time to shine.

super sultry tones linger over an up-tempo bassline and the hint of an organ and shake of maracas smell of singalongs galore. it's one hundred percent feel good, summertime pop music and i can't wait to hear more. keep your eyes on this one.

Radiant Dragon is no stranger to the blogs, i'd hope you all are fully acquainted already. if not, Radiant Dragon, aka Larry, has been responsible for creating some of the prettiest, freshest sounds of the past year or so. oriental inspired, cosmic music that can calm even the most tense of moods but still leave you feeling the urge to dance weirdly. having turned his hand to a few intelligent remixes already, Radiant Dragon returns with his most spaced out musical vision thus far. gorgeous.

also check out Egyptian Hip Hop's myspace for the video to the original track.

19 year old Hannah 'Shark' has been making music for five years. her latest effort, FOE, is ridiculously impressive. with vocals as sweet as syrup backed with thundering bass lines and the mesmerising sound of angular guitars her brand of twisted pop has left me craving more. check ittt.

Treasure started out on a rainy summer's day in Liverpool. combining a love of Hall and Oates choruses with trippy electronics and a hazy, summertime glow, the intriguing two piece have captivated me with their sounds. there's an album out in May on US label Waaga.
