C.H.A.M.P.S Stream St. Peters


Everyone goes wild for stuff like this.

Brief, monosyllabic name in caps. Check.

Vague, blurry image that kinda looks like My Bloody Valentine. Check.

Alt folk, breezy pop, chillwave tune sung by a dude but sounds like a chick. Check.

But hey, whoever these CHAMPS guys are, they do sound pretty damn good.

Play their awesome single, St. Peters again and again right here.

Watch The Corners with Dinosaur Jr

Punks Jump Up & Dave 1 Give Us Mr Overtime


Holy shizz. It's Friday. Time for Epic Lunches and getting the hell outta the office like right now. Punks Jump Up, however, are not bogged down by mundane trivialities like 9 to 5 and photocopying.

Wave Machines Return With Counting Birds


Spring Fridays rule. Longer days, beer gardens, your female colleagues look better. However, there comes a time when you need to take a step back to reflect on the day and say that it's all copacetic. 

As always, an appropriate soundtrack's required for moments like these and this fantastic brooding little number by Liverpool's, Wave Machines, is just the answer. 'Counting Birds' is the new single and is free to download from the band's Sound Cloud page.

Kosher.

Bass, big hair and silly track suits. Who says electronic music isn't fun anymore? Things got a little too serious last year and now's the time to bring the party vibes back to the fore. Jalapéno Records looks like a strong bet this year with a bunch of kick a$$ releases on the cards.

Bass monster, Featurecast, drops his new EP, 'Around The Block', on the seminal label this April and gives us a rather London-centric video right here.

The Cuban Brothers Spring Freebie


Ah. Spring is in the air. You can feel it. You can smell it. And all the nut jobs come crawling out of the woodwork. Well, here in Holloway Road, North London anyways. I saw a dude's dog take a crapper on the bus 43, I kid you not. No one said a damn thing. Neither did I as my stab vest was left at home.

The three caballeros who are certainly not crap, The Cuban Brothers, return with a mighty comic-funk track, 'We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off', naturally prompting us to do otherwise. It's a jolly little ditty just in time for the spring party season. 

The trio will perform tracks from their new album, 'Yo Bonita', at the Jazz Café London on March 16. Bring on the tambourines.

Download 'We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off' here.

Mighty Mouse MIxtape = Disco-tastic Ravey-ness


We like disco balls. Even if the party sucks a$$, a disco ball always makes it look a little cooler. Not that London based future disco masters, Mighty Mouse's parties ever sucked. In fact, they're pretty rave-tastically awesome. 

Stick two fingers to the cold and party like it's August, when Mighty Mouse take to the stage for Scandalism @ The Scala London on Feb 25th with Mylo, Aeroplane, Lindstrom + may more. Their kick a$$ compilation, Disco Circus 3 will be out later this year.
