GET SOME UK UK MUSIC, ART AND CULTURE

Front girl Mica Levi of Micachu and the Shapes has her fingers in many pies. She is a singer, songwriter, composer and producer with a background in classical music as well as strong grime, garage and bass influences, so you know that any track she touches is gonna be interesting. As well as working with her own band, she has produced for Dels (Ninja Tune / Big Dada), Ghostpoet, released the mixtape ‘Kwesachu’ with Kwes, and worked with Toddla T. Look out for the ‘Chopped and Screwed’ album coming out soon!

10 Man Roll is Jammer’s forthcoming single from his album, Jahmanji. Produced by Mumdance. Summer vibes!

An interesting concept next, a music video which doubles as the trailer for a film. In this instance Rubber, directed by Quinten Dupieux, OST produced by Mr Oizo and Gaspard Augé. Very banging electro, if that’s your thing.

Aloe Blacc (signed to Stone’s Throw), has one hell of a voice and sings real R’n'B, you know RHYTHM AND BLUES.. not that shit you hear on the radio. Anyway, this is not a rant, please check him out and if you like it support it. I also love grainy films like this. I believe the album is due for release September time.

There is also this glorious LIVE version…

Anthemic Dubstep bit from Rinse artist Katy B. Benga on buttons.

More Rinse dubstep, from Skream. I quite like the old skool rave rave, hardcore samples on this beat. I know there are a lot of haters/chinstrokers out there who like to knock him, but the guy is a massive talent and when it comes to dancefloor tracks, he knows what time it is. They’ve gone for an arty Creation-story inspired video, with stop motion animation, skinny models, and stuff like that.

Last but not least, head-nod hip-hop from DELS, stay tuned, this kid could go big! Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard on buttons. Quality video.
