LOCAL NATIVES - GORILLA MANOR
To say that Local Natives are this year's Fleet Foxes isn't wrong, but not that right either. Local Natives are softer, brighter and lighter than their widely critiqued sort-of-counterparts. Gorilla Manor is a delicious debut that should be listened and loved for its own merits and there are 12 of them here; from the beautiful single 'Airplanes' to the epic journey of 'Stranger Things'. For fans of harmonic vocals, delicate guitars and gorgeous layers (and I bet there'll be a lot of you).
FAJ
You know about FAJ right? That's Fanny and Jessy as they are also known, and this duo have one of the coolest young labels coming straight out of London. They debuted their first range last year entitled 'I Hope You Die Soon' and they're also responsible for the infamous tee of the same name (and it's sibling, 'Suck It You Fuck') which I actually often find gets quite a warm reaction despite it's sentiment. This month they're showing their hotly anticipated sophomore collection for AW 2010 which no doubt will be full of their trademark wicked humor and edge. Definitely ones to watch.
LOST

Honestly, who isn’t? The sixth and final season of Lost, one of the best series ever created, just started and we are sure spending more time talking, reading and thinking about it than watching it. Well, from what we read some mysteries won’t be answered (the real meaning of the numbers, anyone?), but if there's something we've learned from accompanying Locke’s island friends (and enemies) is that the travel is always more enjoyable than the actual place it’s taking you to. Well, not if the smoke monster is trying to kill you.

Slow Blow
The latest station on the Drunky Town train line is in Sydney, Australia at a little club in the Spanish Quarter (actually it's just two Spanish shops next to each other on the same street or something like that in the CBD) called GoodGod, which plays host to soirée of the moment, Slow Blow. Word has it that in January, Karen O crashed Sydney's current cool kids party, but to be honest by that time everyone was too busy dancing and cutting loose in D-Town to care. And that's the true mark of a good time - when you find yourself twirling about without a care in the world. Or it could just mean you're trashed. Heh.
David Mitchell
You know those films where there are all these supposedly 'intertwined' stories and lives? Quite a cliché concept for both books and movies I suppose, but rarely does it really resonate in either medium. David Mitchell though (not the Peep Show one) manages to spin tales into tightly woven rugs that are quite fantastical yet believable, moving without being overly sentimental, eclectic and incredibly entertaining. He also writes straight narratives too, with just as much panache and verve. I just (re)read Number9Dream though any and all of David Mitchell's books are highly recommended...and he's got a newie coming out this year. EXCITEMENT.

It's all an elaborate Ploy

Primary 1

photoraphs by Racheal Crowther

 

By Primary 1 that is! And what a ploy it is. I don't actually want to say too much about this track called 'Ploy (First Burn With Polly Brown)'; cause it has so much to say for itself in the first place, so, I'll just leave you with that it's SO GREAT and I've had it on repeat all niiight and I love it. Innit.

 

Check out Racheal Crowther's pics of Primary 1 himself instead, then cop the track below them.

Primary 1 - Ploy (First Burn With Polly Brown) [mp3]

 

Doesn't it make you feel like such a cool cat? YESSS.

 

P.S. I couldn't help adding more, despite having said I didn't wanna say much...There's just something about this track that somehow reminds me of Napoleon IIIrd (check it, he's good).

Who's There? It's In Flagranti with a TOP 5 remix

riton primary 1

 

Honestly, Riton & Primary 1's 'Who's There?' should be the number 1 song on all the charts around the world. And we've been bragging about it since the video was released. Now that the whole remix packet has been released, we couldn't be more excited to announce that it is one of the best remixes of the year. But it shouldn't be a surprise, not after we learned that In Flagranti was responsible for one of them.

 

Although I'm not sure if the remix is an old disco sample or a completely new instrumental by Sasha Crnobrnja and Alex Gloor, it's definitely in my top 5 remixes of the year. Full capacity drums spiced by a whole set of percussion, funky guitars, soft bass lines, occasionally wavy synths and the boy/girl duo used in the vocals. This is disco funk in its whole bouncy glory.

Riton & Primary 1 - Who's There (In Flagranti remix) [mp3]

 

'Who's There?', the single, has remixes from the likes of L-Vis 1990 (who also directed the video), Doorly and Style of Eye

Riton & Primary 1 - Who's There?

Who-is-there

 

I have some basic rules about music. One of them is really simple and so far it's worked 100%. If Erol Alkan's label Phantasy releases a song, you buy it. That simple. You don't need to know the band or the style, it's going to be a great song.

 

Do you need proof? I give you four examples: 'AA247' from Metro Area; 'Veronica's Veil' from Fan Death; 'Hold Me Down' from Primary 1; and 'Engine' by LA Priest. Actually, I will give you another piece of proof: their latest single, 'Who's There?', a song from the new British project featuring the singer Primary 1 and the producer/DJ Riton.


This duet sounds like Calvin Harris hit the golden pot big time. Surprisingly charming, this spooky pop electronic number is fated to become number one. The video takes the piss out of the song's title and shows a group of people playing those silly evil games that your mum constantly tells you not to. The video directed by James Connolly AKA Lvis 1990 is shot like the movie 'The Blair Witch Project' and stresses that horror clime.

 

Riton & Primary 1 - Who's There?

 

There's no more information about the single at the moment (when it's out + who is going to remix it), but we've heard that they are working on an album already. One of the best pop combos of the year? You bet your ass it is!
