Brand New Duke Dumont!

This year's stand out star, Duke Dumont, previewed his Brand New track on Annie Mac's show and God Damn it's good! 

    With it's seriously summer vibes and incredible re-playability (New word?) it really makes you do the House Thump!...This quite possibly could turn out to be my track of the year. 

It's AMAZING...Could we be seeing the first decent Christmas Number 1 since well...X Factor? He's done it before, I'm sure the man can do it again!

Anyway, less of the bullshit. This song just need's to be heard, seriously...

Well here it is...The new one from Duke Dumont Featuring Jax Jones called I GOT U

Murkage - New Track

So...After receiving a mysterious DM on Twitter from Dave Murkage, the new Murkage track has landed...oh AND I got a sneak preview of the Video...IT'S SICK! I thought I best share this with you.    This is the BRAND NEW track from the former BPH One To Watch from Manchester "Murkage" featuring none other than the amazingly talented Bipolar Sunshine off of "Love More Worry Less" fame!  

This really is a track to be reckoned with....seriously expect BIG things from these next year! 

Oh, and expect the Video VERY soon....It's CLASS!

OF THE NIGHT REMIXES

The remixes of "Of The Night" by Bastille are coming in thick and fast...So we thought we'd give you a run down of the best out there at this moment in time! 

Coming in at number 4 We have the Fix8 remix...I couldn't find a link to actually have this on the site...Which I'm actually quite glad. The Fix8 remix is the same as any other remix that falls under the "FloorFillers" bracket. Sped up vocals and the standard mind-numbing bassline of any Guetta track. Not needed.

Number 3. Now this is where it gets hard because the next three are actually pretty decent remixes!  

In my opinion it has to be the Icarus remix...just because the next two are just F**king mind bending!

Well...This remix ticks all the boxes for the house fans out there at the moment. Hi-Hats, Claps and proper synthy basslines! Amazing!

Number 2...Again, very tricky but it has to be the remix by the newish producer Kove, who quite honestly can't do any wrong if he carries on producing track like this! It sounds like a mix of old garage and well the Bass music of today, with a bit of House mixed in. This kid is a genius in the waiting. Oh and a bit of House Piano in there aswell...Why not! 



And Finally! THE BPH's favourite remix of "Of The Night" by Bastille is....The MNEK remix...Jeesus this good!
Choppy Bassline...Check
Heavy Bass...Check
Instant Smash...Check
Picturing yourself on a boat party listening to this...Check.
Honestly what more can this guy do! I predict a huge year for MNEK next year!





Oh and Finally...just as a treat. If by some unknown freak accident you haven't heard the original by Corona...Here it is. Look out for the amazing Green Screen effects!

!

Disclosure - Apollo

New Disclosure stuff...Nuff Said!  This track has gained more than 112,000 views in just over 5 hours of being online! Jeebus!

So here it is...Brand New Disclosure!

BeatPort Mashdrop!

    This is something that has to be heard! Swedish House Due Daleri decided to create this little masterpiece to prove that the BeatPort 100 doesn't always represent everything that is great in Electonic music! They got the drops of the top 16 tunes on BeatPort and spliced all the drops in to one tune!

THIS IS BRILLIANT!

Mid Week Stomper!

  Riton's back...and in a big way. If you haven't had a chance to listen to any of his new stuff yet well here is a little taster.

   By far my favourite track on the Mixtape Riton time 'Can't stop the clock" it's called trap house, and feature's the Jerimih song F**k you all the time! 

One To Watch!

   Well, sorry I've been absent of late...but I have just started a new clubnight so have been busy trying to organise that. 

   But anyway! We have a brand new One to Watch, I first heard of this guy a couple of days ago actually when this remix of Rustie's "Slasherr" popped up on my Soundcloud stream...I liked the remix but had completely forgot who it was by, by the time I had a chance to get back to the mac! However, the music gods came to my aid today and this MEGA remix popped up on my news feed. It was by this guy...He goes by the name of Flume, he's off of Sydney and has been making music or atleast had some interest in the sort since the age of 13. 

I see ruddy good things for this guy, Spread The Word, Flume is One To Watch!

Check out this!

And this!

   Yes, After being other wise disposed for the past near week. I finally got round to looking at all the music I seemed to have missed. Well I missed this release from Gold Panda and fuck me it's good...It's from the forthcoming album "Half Of Where You Live" due for release on 10th June. 

   I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS ALBUM! From what I have heard so far, this follows in the footsteps of Goldpanda's previous releases and ultimately makes you think of those long summer nights you wait for all year. 

Here it is then...We Work Nights!

  

Mount Kimbie - Cold Spring Fault Less Youth

   Well well well, Guess who have finally made their album available for your beautiful ears! Yeah, Mount Kimbie have followed with the current trend of pre-release streaming across the web to try and put a stop to people leaking the tracks etc. This Album is f**king amazing seriously, it does everything you expect of the London based duo...If you have never heard of these guys before....I guess you could say it has a kind of jazz style to it...but with immense synths. Basically Mount Kimbie are one amazing duo and I'm so glad I can finally listen to this album!  

This is just a sample of what the album has to offer! 

  

Just Listen!

Baauer remixes Disclosure...What more could you want?

Bishop Nehru - Nehruvia

   You should all check this guy out! He goes by the name of Bishop Nehru and is supremely talented...oh and he's like f**king 16! His mixtape"Nehruvia" is the actual 'Ish seriously, going all the way back to proper original Hip-Hop, sampling J-Dilla and rapping over original J-Dilla beats...This guy is going to be HUGE. 

Nehruvia can be downloaded for free Here Big Thanks to Dat Piff for that one! 

This has got to be my favourite track off the tape! 

So here you go, Bishop Nehru - Welcome!

The tracklisting has been announced for Disclosure's New Album!

Ahhhhh...I can't believe the week I am out of action something like this appears...And now my fear of letting a secret leak has finally been broken...do you break a fear? Oh who cares, It's been announced and I had been sworn to secrecy about a few people appearing on this...if i wasn't such a good friend, jeez i'd have f**ked you right off!

anyway here it is!

1. Intro

So basically...if you buy the Deluxe version you get all of Disclosure's single releases over the past 2/3 years...Helloooo!

My favourite track out so far has got to be this! and I'll have to offer a NSFW warning on the vid... BEST VIDEO EVER

Pedestrian! One To Watch

   So, we haven't had a One To Watch recently...and well, this guys music ended up in my Inbox a couple of days ago. Having travelled to more places than the average person will do in a life time, (by the age of 10) you can kind of see why there would be some sort of talent there...I don't know why that would mean there would be talent but HE'S awesome!

   

   He's just released Hoyle Road, the second release from Born Electric and in my opinion Pedestrians greatest feat so far! Playing Boiler Room sets throughout the year and playing DJ slots in and out of the country, the only thing I see for this guy is getting a Mount Kimbie-esque cult following! 

   Check out Hoyle Road NOW! Oh and go buy it, support home grown talent HERE

Zomby announces new album

   Today we were blessed with the news that the amazing Zomby is actually going to release an album this year! BOOM...only earlier this month he released "With Love" after a prolonged absence between making new material. But what we also realised today was in fact that Zomby had already told us the album title...in that secretive/mysterious way he always seems to do, it was the name of that frigging single. 

   "With Love" is the new Album by Zomby due for release via 4AD on 18th June.

You can listen to "Soliloquy" the second song from the soon to be released album below!

Bare - Fulltilt

    Bare has just uploaded this Brand New amazing track on to Soundcloud...Man it's HUGE!    Forthcoming on Buygore later this year. I do see bigger things for this guy in the future! What is it that David Rodigan says in that Newham Generals track? "I won't make too many speeches cos it's all about the music"

Quite possibly the greatest day in Chart History?

 

    So this is how the charts looked today, as long as we discard Will.I.Am and Beiber that is. In the official charts today Jameela Jamil announced that Rudimental were numero 1 with "Waiting All Night", Daft Punk were Numero 3 with the brilliantly refreshing "Get Lucky" and Duke Dumont was at Numero 4 with "Need U (100%)"

   Could this possibly be the greatest day in Chart History? Do the stats show that people are starting to buy and listen to decent music once again?  I fecking hope so!  Because we have been so depressed with the state of the music industry over the last few years...I mean with songs like this being played on national radio, you can't complain!

Another massive track by Awe

  So after championing this guy in our one's to watch, Awe has carried on making tune after tune after tune! And his latest track Trendy is absolutely huge, Plastician seems to be the main person behind promoting Awe on his Rinse show. You can more or less guarantee that Awe is going to be a big player within the scene and if their productions carry on this way...no one knows where they may be in the next year...If this clip from the upcoming Eagle Soul EP is anything to go buy...We have a good'un on our hands

SO just listen to this "Awe - Trendy"

Disclosure - You and Me ft Eliza Doolittle

   The Disclosure boys have give us a wee little treat from their brand new album "Settle". The track featuring Eliza Doolittle puts off those perfect summer vibes. It was played for the first time last night on the amazingly brilliant Annie Mac show on Radio 1 last night

  You WILL be hearing this over the summer...I'm pretty sure this could be the reason for the sun being out today? What do you think?

Well here it is! Disclosure - You and Me ft Eliza Doolittle

Daft Punk - Get Lucky

We finally have the brand new Daft Punk track! Thank the lord that the two beauts of EDM have brought upon us this treat of spine-tingingly great music!

Get Lucky will be the first release off of their brand new album "Random Access Memories" and you know what? It's quite obvious that this is going to live up to the hype...I mean...IT'S DAFT PUNK for god's sake!

 Legendary guitarist Nile Rodgers just tweeted this

I've just heard from Daft Punk: "Get Lucky" #1 in the US & 44 other markets around the globe. Congrats. So happy to be on the trip with you"
— Nile Rodgers (@nilerodgers) April 19, 2013

It's going to be BIG this track! Seriously...absolutely beautiful French Electronic music at it's best!

Listen to the brand new track now!

Settle

Disclosure have finally revealed the name and album artwork of their DEBUT ALBUM..."Settle" and the artwork is pretty awesome too. We may get a track listing soon hopefully and from then on...well it's all upwards from there to be honest!

  The album is due for release on the 3rd of June on PMR, in a mailing list email the boys had this to say!

"At last we can announce that our debut Album is on its way! We've worked so hard over the last year, alongside a number of amazing artists and friends and we cannot wait for you to all finally hear it from start to finish!"

It's available to pre-order now exclusively on www.disclosureofficial.com, where there's loads of other cool stuff to!

Random Access Memories

Those two French, helmet wearing Gods of all things Electronic have gone and done it again...Seriously they are the ultimate cock-teasers! Releasing their tracklist via Vine! These guys are super cool! I can not wait to hear Random Access Memories!

Here it is!

                                    

WHAT A SHAME!  Jai Paul has made his first ever tweet, AND it crushes the hearts of so many fans!

To confirm: demos on bandcamp were not uploaded by me, this is not my debut album. Please don't buy. Statement to follow later. Thanks, Jai

— Jai Paul (@jai_paul) April 15, 2013

Oh and in other news! Daft Punk have gone and give us a teaser from "Random Access Memory" to be released May 21st! It was played as an advert on the big screens at Coachella in the US...Lucky gits!  


You can listen to the clip here!

Jai Paul Sneaks album release!

     It's been near on two years since BTSTU was released and a year since that Jasmine track appeared online. But, the super secretive Jai Paul has not just released a single or an EP he's just released a whole MotherFu@£ing album on his Bandcamp page!

   I've never been so caught out by a release ever...after waiting months and months for a single launch the last thing you expect is a bloody album...

          so anyway Jai Paul is an absolute legend for doing this! The album can be streamed from here or bought on the Jai Paul Bandcamp site here http://jaipaul.bandcamp.com/

TCTS on Slowolf Ft Raekwon

  Well, we've featured the manc producer before...and well...HIS REMIX OF DANCEFLOOR IS FECKING AMAZING.

    Seriously it's brill, he's got his hands on that track by Slowolf ft Raekwon...and by Raekwon I mean actual Wu-Tang Clan Raekwon! I know...apparently Slowolf, who's been around for less than year, sold his merc to get Raekwon on the track. To be honest, I reckon that will be the best decision the scandinavian beat merchant will ever make in his life!

anyway...Listen to this...TCTS has remixed this for us all and it's amazing!

NEW MOUNT KIMBIE

   Stop The Press! Or is it Hot Off The Press? Ahhh who cares...The only thing I care about at the moment is this! It's the brand new album from Dom and Kai off of Mount Kimbie fame. Their newest album is going to be called "Cold Spring Fault Less Youth" bit of a mouthful but from what they have shown us of this album...F**K ME it's going to be good. To prove it to you, they've released a brand new track from the album called "Made To Stray" and you can download it for free here .

So just give this a listen...and go download it before you have to pay! 

Alright?!  Remember how I was well excited to hear Rustie's newest release the other week? Well, you can finally hear the "B-Side" to that track...It's called Triadzz and it's HUGE. My love for anything Numbers related is basically endless...and this release is just sublime!  You should probably go and buy this!

Well hello there...It's been a while.

    You look great by the way! How are you holding up? I'm glad we can still be friends. To make up for our time apart, I thought I would introduce you to one of the most exciting producers I have discovered over the past few weeks.

   So, as far as I know "Awe" is in love with Hudson Mohawke. Plastician, Skream and loads of other music heavy weights are totally chumming off this guy and to be honest I can see why. He's creating a proper storm and hasn't even had a release yet...I doubt it will be long until he becomes a house hold name.

   Less of the talking and more of the listening...Give these two a proper good listening to!

AWE - Diamond Mountain

AWE - Jurassic (live clip from Plasticians Rinse FM Show)

Rustie - Slasherr

Well, how I have missed Rustie making music like this...jeez louise! This is quite possible his greatest song as of well forever! It's from a double single release with the B -side being named Triadzz...really you need to check this out right now!!!!

Rustie - Slasherr (download now, from Triadzz/Slasherr) by Rustie

T's Got Sound!

Alright Muckers!


    It's a Tuesday and well, it means it's still closer to the beginning of the week than the end of the week...I know, Ball-Suckingly gruesome right?

Well, guess who is here to save the day! BONOBO, Yeah he's back with a brand new track named Heaven For the Sinner off of his upcoming album "The North Borders". Which, can actually pre-ordered right now at www.bonobomusic.com ! GO GET IT NOW!

Oh, And finally! Remember us talking about that Absorb track a few weeks ago? Well, the video is FINALLY out for 'I'm Done'! Woooo!

Check it out right now!

Three Words can sum up what has happened over the past two weeks!

TRAP GONE VIRAL! 

Not only has the majority of the world now heard of Trap music and Baauer...Harlem Shake is now number three in the charts!

So to commemorate this, Let's have a look at some of the best Harlem Shake video's online!

Oh and this one!

One To Watch 

It's Sunday which means it's time for us at The BPH to tell you our weekly One To Watch!

    This week, it is the 18 Year Old Trap producer from Brighton. He started properly producing when he was 16, so for someone to have only been in the game for 2 years...He's hitting it hard Some of his influences are Baauer, Araabmuzik and Joey Bada$$. Hucci has been there since the beginning of the Trap movement and you can kind of tell...He's now creating Trap that moves away from the norm and F**k me it's good! 



He's getting love from everyone at the moment...especially Diplo, off of Diplo and Friend on Radio 1 and amazing music.

This guy is going to get BIG very soon...so jump on it now, before everyone else does..

HUCCI is gonna be BIG!

News!

     Right, well...I got some amazing news the other day about Disclosure's new album! It's regarding someone who will be featuring on it...This news is so hot, they haven't even finished the song yet.

      I am however, sworn to ultimate secrecy about this! HOWEVER, I have it under complete control and YOU will be the first one's to know this news! Trust me...I repeat the track isn't actually even finished yet so, you will hear back in due course...(I'm so tempted to give you a clue, but I can't) 

    So to keep your appetites wet and gagging for this news, wrap your ears around this beaut, released a fair time ago!  I love...that you know!

In other news,  You all need to check this guy out!
  Been following him for quite a while now and he seems to be finally getting the recognition he deserves. He goes by the name of Absorb and his newest release "I'm Done" is bloody brilliant! It's been produced by a cracking team up of producers, Stinkahbell X Psy:Am and also features the voice of Lady Chann, who I imagine may just have a good year herself.
   It's already had support from 1xtra and was recently made 1Xtra's introducing track of the week.
Give this a listen! It's bloody brilliant!




Peace, Love and Bass

It's Thursday, which means...ITS NEARLY THE WEEKEND!  But, chill the F out it isn't here yet! So this is just a little sneak peek into my brain for one split second!
   Daedelus is cool as fuck, dressed like some sort of ring master on stage he creates amazing Romantic electronic music, Give this a listen!



 

Well, Well, Well...
     What do we have here then!

Another Wednesday, another hit of the mid-week-blues.

I know one way to get you out this rut...


There's a sale on F**king MF DOOM stuff at http://shop.lexrecords.com/collections/doom-sale

 Jeez Louise, Vinyl from a £5, CD's from £3 and MP3's £1...What more could anyone ask for to be fair.

Seriously go check this out, OH and I'm pretty sure it say's Free Shipping aswell!

 Oh My Days!
So in honour of Doom, let's sit back, relax and listen to some of the treats!

 To start with...I just found this! JJ Doom stuff, performed on BBC Radio 4...OH, Jeez!


And, What blog post about Doom can be complete without posting this...

MF DOOM ?

Mid-Week Blues

Well, Well, Well, Boys and Girls!

    Our dreams have finally come true. The two hottest producing duos of 2012/2013 have joined forces, this AlunaGeorge X Disclosure colab is spine-tinglingly brilliant and perfectly hits that spot just right. This is the kind of music your great, great-grandchildren will be playing to their un-born children to make them more intelligent. This is quite possibly the greatest collaboration of the last two years, even beating the Just Blaze X Baauer collab of last week, even though that is f**king amazing.
   I'm totally in love with this "Future Garage" of late, and I seriously wish for more. And, will 2013 keep bringing these collabs, first we had; Short Stories (KorelessXSampha) then we had the Just BlazeXBaauer and now a collab by these two.
    We really have to bow down to the Bass/Music Lords and make a sacrifice of some sort, I suggest Scouse House!

So, Here it is!



Oh, Wait there. 
                  You know how we love Lapalux? Well, he's just given us a sneak peek at one of the tracks off his hotly anticipated release for Brainfeeder... It's called Swallowing smoke, and it goes a little like this!

One To Watch

This week's one to watch is...Murkage. Manchester based "Bass Legends" (Quoting myself there) have  gone from strength to strength over the past...well however many years...basically creating the Bass scene in Manchester after a decade of putting on some of the best parties the North West has ever seen!       
   After seeing these guys a few times last year I can only recommend doing so. However, if you really do want to see them in all their glory there are basically two options. Either, go to Parklife Festival in Manchester, this seems to be the home of Murkage musically and they put on a F**king incredibly sweaty show. OR you just need to attend one of the many parties they do in Manchester annually (Check out the night they do at South in Manchester). 

 Check this out : Live from Parklife last year!





   Basically, you can’t fuck with Murkage. Deal with it. Part rap, part punk,part raver their raw electronic sound is built from spending the nearly a decade putting on some of the best parties Manchester has ever seen. 

And finally...They've been likened to a OFWGKTA vibe aswell. Not half bad

This tune was loved by everyone from Mistajam to Kissy Sell Out  

In The Jungle!

Just a quick

    You know how we were saying how we expected BIG things from Baauer this year...Well he's kicked the year off in a big way. He's only gone and done a collab with one of the most talented producers out of New Jersey, Just Blaze! Oh...and they are touring together. That's the kind of news that makes you cream.

    Anyway...sack the chit chat, just wrap your pretty little ears around this beast!

Mid-Week Blues

     So sad news guys...Hideout has officially sold out, so if you were looking to go and hadn't bought your tickets. It looks like it's Ebay for you!
     So to all of you who didn't get tickets this year, we all need cheering up immensely! So, here's some mid week beauty. We have two tracks to keep you busy till Friday night, the first is by Lancastrian (I guess you could say) House music producers, Bondax. They hit the ground running in 2012 with the release of "Gold" and "Baby I got that" and we are hoping for more releases in 2013...Oh and by the way..."Gold" is forthcoming on "Justus" this month! Keep your ears peeled for that!

My second little treat for you is this...Ab-Soul X Kendrick Lamar 'ILLuminate' F**k this is good, just listen. I'm lost for words!

Check this out!

 Within the last few hours Kieran Hebden, of Four Tet fame, has released a compilation of sounds produced by him in between 1997-2001. 
   You get the mix of pure old school Four Tet and really experimental stuff he's found among the way! There's no point me saying anything else other than...Listen to this right now and download it for your lonely pleasure later on, you know what I mean! 

Check it here!

     Just a quick one! 

    You all should check out XXYYXX...He's 17/18 been making music since he was like 16. He's influenced by Lapalux, Disclosure and Shlohmo. He is definitely one to watch for 2013 whilst he cements himself further in to the Scene.  I expect big things this year from the young Californian.

Here's the video for XXYYXX - About You.

One To Watch

It's Sunday, which means only one thing. This week's One To Watch is...TC4.

The Birmingham based producers have gone from strength to strength over the past year. Being championed by Target on 1Xtra and Plastician on Rinse FM, I can 2013 being a big year for them. The duo have been going since 2010 and seemed to have gained a rather cultish following, I wouldn't say Beiber-esque but within the next couple of years you never know!
   
    Now, it's not very often you get great producer duo's and even even less frequent that you get a male/female combo in the dubstep music scene.
At The BPH we also understand that there is nothing hotter than a female producer, especially when you would class them as hot already. Anyway, I digress.      
     TC4 are part of a new breed of producers that can perform their tracks live, adding another dimension to seeing your favourite producer by adding live drums to their live sets.
Just check them out performing "LaLaLa" at "The Rainbow" in Birmingham here.


OH, and they recently did a bloody brilliant guestmix for Cameo on 1Xtra,
 

And finally, for all of you budding MC's out there here is how not to do it!

L-Vis 1990 Album Clips

Over at The BPH we love anything that's free, however we love it more when a producer we love gives us some insight in to a new project/EP/Album pre-release. Well, the co-creator of Night Slugs has only gone and give us a little sneak peek at his new EP forthcoming on Clone Records. This is the perfect start to the year...Brand New L-Vis...Yaaaay. Check it out below!

   


     So remember how we introduced you to Lapalux the other day?   Well he's only gone and give us a teaser track off his album "Nostalchic"which is forthcoming on Brainfeeder in in March.
   
      F**k me this track is good, Lap has gone and outdone himself once again. The dreamy rolling synths and Mount Kimbie-esque drums just make this the ultimate early morning, back at flat, must calm myself down after a massive night tune.

   Just give it a quick listen... This is Lapalux - Guuurl

Something slightly different

    So not only have we had the wonderful news that David Rodigan MBE (never forget the MBE) is back on the airwaves and spreading his endless knowledge with the audience of BBC Radio 1Xtra, but Apparat has made a surprise announcement.

    The German Electronic musician announced on Facebook that he will be releasing LP "Krieg und Frieden" via Mute next month. Give this a listen and tell us what you think!

   
    And Finally, are you running thin on the new music front at the moment?  It's Wednesday, and we all know how hard the mid week can be without some brand new music...so here's my treat. 

Short Stories

   This new collaboration project "Short Stories" between Sampha and Koreless is bloody brilliant. With Koreless' immaculately glitchy yet beautiful production and Sampha's soulfully breathtaking voice, this is the perfect combination. You could call this collab the Steak and Chips of the music world, complimenting each other and still leaving you with the need for more.  



      The EP will include tracks "On the way" and "Let it go" to be released on the 28th January via Young Turks, you can Pre-Order the 12" already, http://theyoungturks.co.uk/catalogue/view/on-the-way-let-it-go . 

Guess Who's Back!!!!

     

       The godfather of Reggae music, David Rodigan MBE, is finally back on the radio. After leaving his Job at Kiss FM because he felt they were "Marginalising Reggae music" he has been announced as a new signing to the BBC Radio 1Xtra line up. 
      Rodigan announced the news on Twitter today and had this to say: "I am absolutely delighted to be joining BBC @1Xtra focusing on new cutting edge reggae and classic cuts every Sunday from 7-9pm." THIS is the reason you pay your license fee!    

 And Finally, it seems the Controversy around Skrillex within "the scene" continues...It kicked off on Twitter last night with all the Burial heads proper going for it saying that "skrillex is ripping off burial, that is some bullshit. go back to brostep asswipe" and Zomby coming out with "Now dont ever mention burial and skrillex in same sentence again". 

    

    In Skrillex's defence it's not a half bad song, you can definitely say that he has took elements of Burial and put them within the track but he has also added those little bits and bobs that make Skrillex, well Skrillex. You can hear the same synths voices that he has used in so many of his tracks very quietly in the background. Anyway, you can make the decision on whether this is a blatant Burial rip off or a new project for Sonny Moore. I reckon Skrillex may have had enough of making songs full of massive drops and screechy samples and decided..."hey i'll tell you what, I bloody love the stuff Burial is doing. I want me some of that action"


So, go on make your own minds up with these two tracks. The new one by Skrillex - Leaving (which i do love) and this track by the amazing Burial - Truant (My favourite out of all Burial tracks)




Skrillex - Leaving

Burial - Truant

Listen to AlunaGeorge  "Body Music" + "Thinkin' Bout You" 

So AlunaGeorge did a Simulcast today on BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra and only went and bloody performed brand new track "Body Music" and a ruddy fantastic cover of Frank Ocean's "Thinkin' Bout You".
  AlunaGeorge are being tipped for greatness in 2013 and you can see why with tracks like this. Body Music is the perfect mix between sexy and cuteness, and as Trevor Nelson said "People need to bring contraception to your gigs now then?" I'm sure after hearing this song the fans are just dieing in anticipation to get there hands on album "Body Music". To be honest so are we at The BPH.

   Oh and you don't really hear of many decent Frank Ocean covers, but A G came out with an absolute cracker. Instead of going down the same old boring Frank Ocean style cover...They did what so many people have failed to do and create an original sounding cover. Just give this a listen!

One To Watch

This week's One To Watch is...Lapalux. 2012 has been a big year for this guy being championed by none other than Rob Da Bank. His Soundcloud is a mismatch of Remixes, Bootlegs, Mixes and Original production all carrying the signature sound of Lapalux...which can only be described as, if Flying Lotus, James Blake and TEED had a baby, and this baby took all the best bits of each adding a little bit of weight behind some of the bass, you will have hit this sound smack on the head.
    After discovering Lap only recently I see big things on the Horizon, signed to FlyLo's record label Brainfeeder, he seriously can't go anywhere but up.

OH and keep your eyes and ears peeled for an album this year...but before that, have a cheeky listen to a free download from the Some Other Time EP released on Brainfeeder, October 2012.

Deadmau5 has had this to say about his upcoming tour arrangements in 2013.

       "I just saw preliminary renders/movies of the new HUGE stage for the next big 2013 tour, and all I can say is HOLY FUCK. Wow. My god, I've NEVER seen ANYTHING like this in my life, and I can NOT wait to unleash this insanity upon the world. Stoked beyond belief."

Should we be excited? I bloody think so, after the astronomically large light shows of the past few years DeadMau5 seems to be super stoked for this year...All i can say is bring it on Zimmerman!

 If this is anything to go by...then bloody hell are the fans in for a treat.

And finally...AC Slater is on a proper streak of actually releasing tracks recently. We've had that Party Animals EP which was out a few months ago and just before the end of the world he released this certified BANGER.
