Track: Mr Scruff – Render Me, plus new album news
It doesn’t seem like nearly six years since Mr. Scruff last released a studio album, but it is. It’s not so much that we’ve missed him, it’s just he seems such an omnipresent, especially in my house.

New Music: Fatboy Slim – Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat, plus tour news
I grew up with Fatboy Slim. Not in a literal sense you understand, that would be rather silly. But I copied his basslines off my Housemartins ‘London 0 Hull 4‘ cassette, fell in with dance music and one of the first things I bought was his Pizzaman LP (without even knowing it was him), Beats …
New Music: Fallulah – Dragon
Who’s got the key to your heart? So say’s Danish singer Fallulah (a.k.a. Maria Apetri) quite insistently in her new song, Dragons. W’ve met her before (not actually you understand, but in terms of her music) Name-checked by just about everyone as one of the ones to watch, we first caught up with her when …
