AlunaGeorge preview new track, speak about 2013 album
Annie Mac treated listeners to a full listen of Aluna Francis and George Reid's new track "Diver" today on Radio 1. The pop and R&B-tinged duo turned heads all of 2012 and it appears they're starting off 2013 on a strong note as well with this glitchy track. We're hearing that their first full-length album is set for a tentative release date in June of this year. Take a listen for yourself below.
Annie Mac delivers Christmas Mixes from The xx and Jessie Ware
Last night on her Sunday show "Musical Hot Water Bottle," Annie Mac delivered two Christmas mixes from The xx and Jessie Ware. The mixes diverge a bit outside of our usually upbeat and dominantly electronic realm, but we think they're pretty perfect to sneakily put on the stereo while the family sits around drinking too much Bailey's and eating too many Christmas cookies. Merry Christmas!
Russ Chimes previews groovy new cut ‘Take Me Out’ on Annie Mac’s show last week
London's Russ Chimes sees the debut of his brand new original track "Take Me Out" on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show. From the start, the infection lead play fools you into thinking that a dreamy progressive cut is on our hands; but its not until the vocals hit that you notice the house anthem we have before us.
Doorly – Rush feat. Soraya Vivian (Original Mix)
Doorly is known as a bit of a jack-of-all-trades in the dance music community; he has acted as Usher's DJ, done guest mixes for Radio 1, taken up residencies in Ibiza, and worked with everyone from Grandmaster Flash to Basement Jaxx to Nero and Skrillex. His latest release, "Rush," out today on Jeffree's exhibits all of this diverse creative energy in one track. The tune is a full-on feel good vintage house track with an incredibly deep breakdown and dizzying chord and synth work. The remix package includes stabs from Problem Child's two step vibe, Go Freek, Lenkemz, and Rail & Priors on the drum and bass tip. Annie Mac loves it, we love it, you'll love it too.
