Benjamin John Power’s latest is a propulsive yet subtle social commentary.
2nd February 2017
Julia Holter – Horns Surrounding Me (Alternate Version)

Far more considered than anything Dylan Baldi has put his name to before.

Young Fathers – Only God Knows
The Scots’ contribution to the ‘T2: Trainspotting’ soundtrack probably won’t be as iconic as ‘Born Slippy’.

This is globalised pop perfection.

Gorillaz - Hallelujah Money (ft. Benjamin Clementine)
‘Hallelujah Money’ is hardly easy to digest. Then again, it sets the tone for 2017.

MUNA - Crying on the Bathroom Floor
The latest from the LA trio battles, conquers, and demands better.
20th January 2017
Pillow Person – On Your Way
The former Hot Chip drummer’s latest is a slightly sinister dancefloor filler.
19th January 2017
Dutch Uncles – Oh Yeah
An experiment in speed has resulted in one of their best tracks to date.

Eurosonic 2017
