THE VENN DIAGRAM

It’s FRIDAY and its raining.. stomp home from work with this one!

Its my fave track from the Medicine EP, (the 50th EP release by Culprit). Released in February, this tune has the perfect mix of a deep bass and catchy vocals all in a sinister minor key.

Julio is back with a vengeance! Loving the Wes Anderson vibes in this short film by Director Daniel Brereton. We can expect the album release this Friday 11 July! <3 <3 <3

Towkio - Heaven Only Knows (Ft. Chance the Rapper, Lido & Eryn Allen Kane)

To quote Chance the Rapper at the end of the record, “You ‘bout to have the hottest tape of 2015.″ Presumably he’s saying it to Towkio and we agree.

Watch out for Towkio, he’s collaborating with the likes of Kaytranada and Kanye’s new best mate Vic Mensa (who incidentally has just been signed to Roc Nation management) so probs on track to make some waves over the summer.

Honne - Coastal Love

Beautiful soulful male vocals and breezy beats on this new track from hot as hell duo HONNE. 

Trippin - Shameboy ft. Max Marshall

Belgium based Shameboy and London based vocalist Max Marshall come together to bring us an ethereal spring anthem that is the perfect tune for pensive after-work walks home. (Providing the UK’s version of spring allows)

Shamir - On The Regular

This guy is going places

Some of the gr8 music that got released onto soundcloud last year.

Breaking the radio silence with a UK/US collab from Jesse Boykins III & LTMDTW, released last summer on MadTech.

'The Rain' mixes the soul/techno/house essentials, key to creating this plucky and rather hypnotic track.. Can't stop head bopping...

Chela - Romanticise (Le Bruce Remix)

Fell in love at Lovebox this year 

Sango ft SPZRKT - Middle of Things, Beautiful Wife (STWO Remix)

This is lovely #ncn

Linden Jay - Be Like You

In honour of it being the 180th Birthday of the inventor of the Venn Diagram (John Venn) and today's great google doodle here is a track I've been enjoying this summer. Heard it at a few of the festivals and it was a little bit of a soundtrack to my recent holiday in Southern Spain.

Oscar Key Sung - All I could do

Been a little bit in love with this song for a couple of months and I saw him support  How To Dress Well at The Institute of Contemporay Arts on friday. An emotional gig obviously. Both their voices are incredible.

Swoon

Sompoe - Leave the House

(Because I'm leaving the house and going to PARIS TODAY WHEYYY)

From Finnish producer's  'Leave the House' EP released on the 20th April, on the 'Sounds of Sumo' label... LOVE the sexy vocals and big fan of the rolling basssssline. 

Sam Smith - Stay With Me (Rainer + Grimm Remix)

Sorry to say this, I reeeeally dislike Sam Smith. But we can't deny he has a brilliant voice. 

My section of the Venn Diagram covers cheese, and this is a massive injection of uplifting emotional gruyere for y'all.

Chet Faker - 1998

Happy Easter y'all. This song is great. Looking forward to this album

Jamie xx: Sleep Sound

Well this just made my day... so beaut!

Negativ - 'Someone Special' ... tops my running playlist this month!

Despite residing in the UK, the DJ/Producer duo hailing from Warsaw released this one via Poland's Sequel One Records last September. The track boast the usual recipe for success... a stompy bassline,sxc lyricz + catchy chords.

Grab a free download from XLR8R here...

Also definitely worth checking out the 3rd track from the EP - 'That's The Way' (feat Michel Morales) - has a bit more basssssss
