Beard of ZEVS!

Super cool French street artist ZEVS hosts his first ever solo show in Zurich this Saturday.

I'm lovin' it.

Tame Impala - Psychedelia revival wanders on...

A favourite new band round these parts. From Perth and signed to Modular, these beauties have a sound that makes you want to munch your fill of sweet wine and mushrooms.

This video is pyschedelic loveliness.

Duuuude, pass the tabs...

College Misfit - Doctor Sharkey

Feargal Sharkey is a hard Northern Irish dude and he's now going to be a doctor. The University of Hertfordshire are honouring him for his contribution to music.

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat?

Congratulations Dr Sharkey. We salute you.

(Even if this whole 'honourary' thing is a blatent cheat)

Chromeo get the BACARDI treatment - Click to download.

Following on from the recent release of a series of exclusive Metronomy remixes, Bacardi has commissioned another set of killer mixes (of the track 100%) from our friends at Fools Gold. Chromeo played at their B-Live event at the Pemberton festival in Canada earlier this year.

Enjoy this.

Modular Records party - The Coronet, London - This Saturday

Features Aeroplane (whose Grace Jones remix was featured on here a few weeks ago), The Presets, Cockandbullkid and lots of other filthy delights.

Only a score to get in.

Unfortunately it's in Elephant & Castle.

Enjoy.

Diplo Blows Your Head - first vinyl release in 2 years!

One Misfit to another - Dizzee Rascal for Prime Minister!

Said Rascal to Paxman on our very own Newsnight:

"It don't matter if you're white man, black man, martian man....
Yeah, I could do it. Dizzee Rascal for Prime Minister, yeah?"

American Misfit wins - thanks to John Taylor

Let's celebrate with this little ditty from Taylor which I've been holding back for a few weeks. Now I love Duran Duran as much as the next man but this is painful. Some would say Partridge-esque even.

Hey ho. Here's to the dawn of a new day!

Kraak & Smaak - Squeeze Me

Great track and a simple, clever video. Ben Westbeech delivers a soulful male vocal and manages to sound credible, no mean feat. This is proper catchy.

Snoop and Massive Attack - 100 Suns vs Snoop

Damn this shit works.
