Mount Kimbie are a London duo who made some serious noise in 2010 with an album called Crooks & Lovers, that I have shamefully never heard. But, after hearing this new track, I will certainly be digging into their back-catalogue...
Twitter #MUSIC boss jumps ship Yeah… about that whole #MUSIC app thing? Well, not sure what this says about the whole project, but the brains behind it just LEFT THE COMPANY. Probably not good – right? Kevin Thau has joined...
New soulful, deep, thump from LosAngeles producer Louisahhh!!! (emphasis originally hers, echoed by us). This might not be the perfect song to start your weekend, in that it might be better enjoyed at about 1am tomorrow morning. Whenever… crank it up...
