THE WEEKEND GIG
Slow Magic, Giraffage, Mister Lies - London, Hoxton Bar and Kitchen (Sunday 26th)


Some of the world’s best bedroom producers are touring together. They’re being shown Europe and all its glorious music venues to boot. Far flung from experimenting and creating some forward-thinking tracks, on the road Slow Magic, Giraffage and Mister Lies make quite the team. Who knows, perhaps they’ll force through a sea change on these shores while they’re visiting.

THE SONG
ELLIOTT POWER - SINK/SWIM


Plenty’s being said about Elliott Power and how he’s basically got this whole ‘emerging solo artist’ dig made. He’s up there with Moko and Law in skewing trip-hop influences into an oddball prism that circumvents reggae, soul and even the odd hint of drone. ‘Sink/Swim’ is about as original and hard-hitting as it gets for a debut offering. Several ideas clash heads in one glorious instance. ‘Check mate’, as he so gleefully declares at the song’s beginning.

OTHER NEU BUSINESS
White Haus - How I Feel


João Vieria is a Porto residing producer-type whose music has taken him to East London, over to New York, where, you guessed it, he hung out with the DFA crowd. James Murphy’s praised one of his old bands apparently, and what better way to say thanks than by sourcing this ecstatic, DFA homage of sorts in ‘How I Feel’? Taken from a self-titled EP, this one’s all about the groove.
