Youan - When You're Around

Wow. This track is madness! Featured on Annie Mac's Free Music Mondays, Youan's track entitled "When You're Around" is a mixture of bass, garage and house with R&B vocals and has a very contemporary UK sound. In fact I think I'll just let the track do the talking, give it a listen below:

Thursday Stumble Vol. 4

Oh man, first off I would like to apologise on behalf of SSSB for being so quiet. We have been really busy studying and running our illegal Mozambiquean Tupperware import business. But nevertheless, the return of the Thursday Stumble is here (albeit on a Saturday, but I started writing it on a Thursday so it still counts!). This week's stumble sees me slipping into the deep end. I am usually not that big a fan of the deep house sounds, but lately these funky deep beats have been speaking to me like Darth Vader - "Shayne, come to the deep side!". These tracks will move your booty to boombastic proportions. Also in this week's stumble, some electronic and tech stuff to move your booty equally, if not more. Enjoy!


Festival Girlfriend - Stockholm Syndrome (Download link)

Oh man! This tune has done things to my body that I could only reveal to my therapist. Deep vibes with electro elements and super sexy vocals. Definitely a must-have.


The 2 Bears - Be Strong (Download link)

This bouncy track is brought to you by none other than Hot Chip's Joe Goddard and his bear partner Raff Rundell. I really like the groovy funky bassline and the super catchy vocals about the love for the music.


Tiga & Jori Hulkkonen - Trust Your Body (Danny Daze Dub) (Download link)

This track blends elements of deep and tech in a way that I approve. Trust your body, your body never lies.


Justin Jay - The Jaguar (Download link)

This deep tune has a variety of tasty elements that come together to form a mellow yet groovy track, and the combination of instrumentation with the electronic elements works nicely.


Prince Club & Harvard Bass - Canixo (Download link)

Canixo is deep/tech number with a wonky bassline and an almost progressive-sounding build up. I think its cool. Do you?


Brodinski featuring Theophilus London - Gimme Back The Night (Download link)

This is a dark little party number from French producer Brodinski and one of my personal favourites Theophilus London. A deep pulsating bassline punctuated by TL's saucy Prince-like taunts.


The Hacker - Shockwave (Gesaffelstein Remix) (link removed)

Picked up this dirty electro child on the streets of Los Santos playing Grand Theft Auto 5. A heavy but crunchy tune that brought me much joy as I wreaked havoc on my Playstation.

Chromeo - Sexy Socialite

One of my favourite groups, Chromeo, have released a brand new single from their upcoming album White Women, which is apparently due next year sometime. This follows the release of another single a few weeks ago called Over Your Shoulder. Oh man, I really love these guys, if you haven't heard of them, I would attempt to describe their sound as cheesy, synth-driven, disco and 80's inspired, electro funk pop music. Consisting of producer 'P-Thugg' and vocalist Dave1, the duo have released 3 albums together, all of which I have listened to many many times. Their last album Business Casual was released in 2010 and was highly successful, so the prospect of a new Chromeo LP really turned me on.


This excitement was increased exponentially when I listened to this single, Sexy Socialite: classic Chromeo cheese with a a totally funky bassline and Dave1's unique vocal styling delivering typically witty, seductive and catchy lyrics about a sexy socialite who thinks she's too cool for him. I find this song extremely catchy and have fallen in love with it, but I guess I'm just a big Chromeo fan. I especially enjoy the rebuttle to Dave1's accusations from the female vocalist in the song, as well as P-Thugg's classic vocoder vocals too. Have a listen! And try not to do a little dance, I dare you.
