This incredible deep house tune is another masterpiece by Kenneth Dixon Junior, generally known as Moodymann, the godfather of decent house music! This year, he released two EP’s with re-edits of his own tracks. JMFG Edits 1 was out on January 13, 2012, the follow-up ‘JMFG Edits 2′ was released on May 14, 2012. Both were exclusively available as 12″ vinyl, brought out as an unofficial release without a lable (not on label). And both are completely sold out. Congrats to the lucky ones to have been quick enough buying them. To all others, there’s still hope for another pressing. Keep your eyes peeled! Check out Give You Something below, my favourite taken from JMFG 2.

:: Listening to this record, it gets crystal clear why there is such an hype on Purity Ring!
‘Shrines’ is the long and highly anticipated full-length debut of the Montreal indie electro duo Purity Ring. The record was released in Europe on July 23, 2012 via 4AD and in North-America on July 24 via Last Gang Records. Great tunes such as Belispeak and Lofticries were widely spread via the internet last year, creating some serious hype on Purity Ring. Their synthies-affected music is very much inspired by the Eighties, but they brilliantly manage to employ this musical influence in creating a fresh and unique sound. Listen above to two album tracks, including the current single Obedear. The record is streaming in its entirety on Spotify.
Laura is the first single to be taken from the upcoming third studio album of British alternative singer and songwriter Natasha Khan, more famously known under her moniker Bat For Lashes. The record entitled ‘The Haunted Man’ will be released worldwide on October 15, 2012 via Parlophone (EMI). The official video for the song is directed by Noel Paul. Pitchfork has named Laura Best New Track, read the article below.
