    Andreya Triana - A Town Called Obsolete (Mount Kimbie Remix)

    Andreya Triana – A Town Called Obsolete (Mount Kimbie Remix)

    Andreya Triana could well be one of the next big things. With a delicate yet soulful voice, she manages to weave her vocals deep into her minimalist electronic music to produce a much fuller and sonorous tune. This track is a remix by London producers Mount Kimbie – you can blag your own copy to [...]

    Philly Re-Grooved: The Tom Moulton Remixes (Harmless)

    Philly Re-Grooved: The Tom Moulton Remixes (Harmless)

    Typical – you wait ages for one brilliant Philly remix album to come along, and then two appear at once. Following Dimitri From Paris’s ‘Get Down With The Philly Sound’ (read our 5-star review here), Harmless Records have marked their 1000th release with an LP of, you’ve guessed it, Philly remixes. But, the reason that [...]

    DJ Spinna Mix of 'Strange Games & Funky Things' Compilation

    DJ Spinna Mix of ‘Strange Games & Funky Things’ Compilation

    This series, from BBE Music, has been consistently good in the past, bringing classic dance sounds together under the guidance of a guest compiler each time. The emphasis with ‘Strange Games…’ has always been on the quality of the tune selection. For the fifth in the series, it is the turn of DJ Spinna, a [...]

    Röyksopp – Senior (Wall of Sound)

    After the poppy optimism of the Norwegian duo‘s previous LP, ‘Junior’, the opening of the sister album, ‘Senior’ is a decidedly down-beat affair. As the music moves uptempo in Track 2, ‘Tricky Two’, the listener can start to see (or hear) a story unfolding; a story, apparently, of a bit of a drugs journey for [...]

    Hidden Orchestra – Footsteps (Tru Thoughts)

    Tru Thoughts seem to have done it again – their latest signing is Hidden Orchestra, a Scottish band led by Joe Acheson, and, by all acounts, this is going to be a outstanding album (‘Night Walks’ is out on September 20th). Your first taste of the band is one of the very few tracks from [...]

    Presenting Ms. Alice Russell…

    Alice Russell, for those of you who don’t yet realise or for those of you who haven’t been fortunate enough yet to hear her voice or see her play live, is, in our humble opinion, probably the best soul singer to come out of the UK for a long time. Alice started out on Tru-Thoughts [...]

    SoundCloud Track Of The Week 28.08.10

    Every week we bring you our favourite track we’ve discovered in the world of SoundCloud.

    This week it’s a track from Diesler which we love because of its riding groove and the vocal contribution from Sonar Kollektiv’s Stee Downes (who is including on their ‘Instrumental Session’ LP). This track is featured on the ‘Tie Breakers’ album out now on Social Beats / Unique Records.

    You can also find and follow Meme Magazine on SoundCloud here.

    Andreya Triana – A Town Called Obsolete (Mount Kimbie Remix)

    Andreya Triana could well be one of the next big things. With a delicate yet soulful voice, she manages to weave her vocals deep into her minimalist electronic music to produce a much fuller and sonorous tune. This track is a remix by London producers Mount Kimbie – you can blag your own copy to download here. Her debut LP, ‘Lost Where I Belong’, which will be released on September 7th on Ninja Tune Records, has been produced by Bonobo, and features contributions from other label-mate Fink. Definitely one to put on your watch-list. Hopefully a full review of the LP from Meme Magazine very soon…

    Dee Edwards – Why Can’t There Be Love? (Pilooski Edit)

    You should really try and get hold of this Motown-inspired soul number that has been wonderfully re-edited by French-wonder Pilooski. The EP contains an original version, this re-edit, plus a couple of Afro-beat tracks by the mysterious S.L.P.P.O.
    The Pilooski edit has been used on an Adidas commercial, and we know you’ve already got his Frankie Valli edit, so it can do you no harm at all to head on over to iTunes to grab yourself the download version of the record (the limited edition 500-run of vinyl seem to have sold out very quickly). Out now on Ubiquity Records.

    Maddslinky – Special feat. Omar (Tru Thoughts)

    You can tell the chaps at Tru Thoughts are pretty chuffed with their latest ‘big name’ signing – the first single from Maddslinky is accompanied with at least 6 other versions. In our view this is rather too many and may dilute the song’s effectiveness rather than boost it. And, do you know what, it’s the original version that is the best of the bunch? The highlight of the track is Omar‘s vocals, with the rest a soulful romp through a standard Maddslinky breakbeat number. It will certainly be interesting to see how the album, ‘Make A Change’ turns out, particularly with promised contributions from Skream and Mr Scruff – it may be the guests that make the record stand out as much as it deserves to. ‘Special’ is released on 13th September, including vinyl EP and 10 track CD, on Tru Thoughts Records.
