Big orchestration offered up here from new trio The Ludlow Thieves. Soaring vocals and live string arrangements make for a captivating listen on the band’s track “To Travel”. Cinematic pop is good for your speakers.

One of our favorite newish producers Maya Jane Coles dials up Florence’s latest “Spectrum”, creating for a nicely tipped ethereal glide all throughout the track. Definitely not a mix or producer or to sleep on.

New music from Blur is always cause to celebrate! Today the band released some lyric based visuals for two new tracks “The Puritan” and “Under the Westway”. Both tracks have had some much lauded over live performance exposure so they’re not TOTALLY NEW but today does mark our first taste of the full studio versions. Blur will be playing a few warm up dates (if you’re near where they’re performing, you already know) in the lead in to their anticipated Hyde Park gig on August 12th. Blur 21: The Box will be released on July 30, 2012.

A couple of years on now, there’s still something magic about The xx’s sublime cover of Kyla’s “Do You Mind”. Here, Miami producer Derek Walin takes the xx cut to the after hours club. Injecting enough pulse and break to keep you conscious while still conserving enough of the original’s soothing quality to keep you breathing. We love it.
