In Motion: Kill Time

Entrepreneurs - Fuck Tactics (feat. FOE & Ghostpoet) (dir. Daniel Swan)


Check out the complete mind-fuck that is the video for Entrepreneurs second release Fuck Tactics / Bubblegunk through Fear & Records.

It's available on CD now through Puregoove here and the lead track features partner in crime FOE as well as a guest verse from the impeccable Ghostpoet.

I hear the latter jumped on the mic during Entrepreneurs live set at Stag & Dagger recently, can anyone confirm if Hannah made it the full compliment or not?

In Motion: Shake It Up

Here's a triple-threat of moving images from IT alumni, featuring new singles from Talking Pictures, Hussle Club and Ghost Eyes.

Plug: Please Let Go

Erm... Hello? Is anyone there?

We're sorry that we've been so quiet recently as we've been crazy busy with other projects and party and bullshit. Oh, what's that? Of course we missed you too!

Anyway, I thought I'd bring things up to speed by catching up with the ghost of blog posts past and find out what's going on with our nearest and dearest.

First off, the disarmingly charming Danimal Kingdom released his debut single Vinyl Skipping Ever Backward / Through The Ice through the Slutty Fringe's love-child imprint Hot Pockets and can be heard in its entirety here:

Danimal Kingdom - Vinyl Skipping Ever Backward / Through The Ice


Featuring my second favourite Danimal track in Through The Ice (my first being Good As Gold), it's available from all good online and IRL shops.

Next up is the brooding loner that is Dave.I.D, who will release his debut album Response through his own Off The Uncertain Button imprint on !K7 Records on 13th June.

I've had the pleasure of hearing an advanced copy and it's just as heavy, pounding and darkly poppy as I'd hoped it would be after catching his impressive set at Brighton's Great Escape festival earlier in the month.

In typical celebratory fashion, here's a spectacularly acidic remix by The Horrors' synth man Tom Furse, it's an acquired taste.

In Motion: After Five Long Years

Tom Vek - A Chore (dir. Ollie Evans)

A Chore is the first piece of the Leisure Seizure puzzle, which is to be released on June 6th. But I'm sure you already knew that.

Pre-order from Play.com here.

Welcome back, Sir.

Guest Mix: Beaú

Good evening.

We thought it was about time that we resurrected one of our most sacred features, reserved for only the most eclectic and distinct of our favourite music makers, the hallowed Guest Mix.

So let's get back in the New York groove and jump in at the deep end with the collective entity that is Beaú.

There's no tracklist, no half-stepping. Exist in the beautiful.

Guest Mix: Beaú

Hype: Love Driven

Other than some highly credible ramblings about Supermoons and existentialism, there's very little to know about Andrew Smith and Joe Sigee, or their Amusement.

It's too early to determine if this is by choice, circumstance or neccesity but what is important is that their brooding, melody driven electronica instantly caught my ear as I blindly navigated the dimly lit smoke filled corridors of Soundcloud.

Check out the wanton lust of Why Does Nothing Grow below and make sure you shuffle over to their Soundcloud and enjoy the equally dark tones of Take Me Alive.

Amusement - Why Does Nothing Grow

Hits The Spot: By Your Side

Dear 2011, slow the fuck down.

How it's March already is beyond me but it also means that At Home, the third single from Crystal Fighters debut album Star Of Love, dropped yesterday.

This wouldn't normally have much of an impact on my day, as I'm too busy on my quest to claim absolute victory on every front, except that the remix package features an absolute gem from the new producer on the block E. Russell.

He's rolling out magic, bro.

In Motion: Milky Skinned Girl

FOE - Tyrant Song (dir. Entrepreneurs)

So we're fashionably late once more, but don't let our tardiness for dramatic effect have any bearing on matters - it's time for a brutal audio/visual one-two combo from the somewhat symbiotic pairing of Foe and the omnipresent puppet-master Entrepreneurs.

Tyrant Song is the lead track from Hot New Trash, Foe's debut EP which will be released through new label on the block Stella Mortos on April 4th both digitally and on 400 ltd vinyl.

There will be a no doubt sordid and debauched label launch party taking place on April 8th at The Macbeth, which will feature appearances from both Foe and Entrepreneurs as well as IT favourite Ghostpoet and Pettre.

Before I leave this lurid dungeon of depravity for an altogether more upmarket gathering, check out/download/freak out to the Entrepreneurs remix which is available over at RCRD LBL here.

In Motion: Ward Off My Death

Psychologist - Comes In Waves (dir. Tali Clarke prod. Woodsy)

I don't know exactly when Psychologist's conception as artist happened. I don't know how directly involved with the birth we were back when we were young. But I know that I couldn't be happier for this circle of life to have finally come full turn and to wake up today to a sort of re-birth and new beginning for Iain Woods...

Fitting then, that he should choose similar themes to introduce us to his first official release, EP Waves of OK, dropping digitally and on etched 12" vinyl via Moshi imprint Not Even 28.03.11. Lead track Comes In Waves is another hauntingly sparse and soul-baring, chest-splitting lament, accompanied by a beautifully self-produced falsidical paradox of a video that can be seen for the first time above.

Psychologist debuts Waves of OK - backed by a 12 part choir - in it's entirety on 16.03.11 at St. Matthias Parish Church, Stoke Newington - tickets here.

Hype: For Now

Born from the embers of Great Eskimo Hoax and reared in a kitchen in Selly Oak to a soundtrack of Wolfgang Voigt, DJ Koze and Thomas Fehlmann, are Worcestershire duo Pocket House.

Whilst they are no strangers to Oxford's Blessing Force collective - Dom is the drummer for Jonquil and Andrew plays live for our beloved Trophy Wife - of which they will inevitably be compared, it's the delicate little flourishes, samples and electronic touches that I find so endearing.

Exemplified perfectly in the four minutes and thirteen seconds of Pops.
