Stepkids - Suburban dream (Union remix feat Pharoahe Monch and homeboy Sandman)

It seems as though the Stones Throw camp are spoiling us and happy about we are too.

To kick off the Stepkids US tour with Mayer Hawthorne, the label have put out a free download of a cracking remix of the bands 'Suburban dream'

Originally an electro tinged, rock vocal track off the much lauded self  titled LP from 2011.
The Stepkids have drafted in the vocal talents of Pharoahe Monch and last year's Stones Throw signing Homeboy Sandman to add a little lyrical trickery to the original recording.

The result is a beat laden head nodder, with scant use of the original vocals and lush tripped out synth stabs, set to compliment the excellent vocal boom bap of the guest MC's.

You can stream the track below

If you haven't done already, go buy the album from here, wicked!

THEESatisfaction @ The Hope Brighton

Stasia Irons and Catherine Harris-White, aka Stas and Cat, aka THEESatisfaction, which is the official name for this super talented duo out of Seattle.

Think Odd Future, think Shabazz Palaces, think Erykah Badu, think the playfulness of De La Soul, think cool choreographed routines, think 'I really need to see these two!'
Well, opportunity knocks! THEESatisfaction play the Hope on the 23rd April.

The chemistry between these 2 soul sistas on stage is heightened for the fact that they are romantic as well as musical partners.
"On stage, the vibe is always there," says Stas, "because we're in love, you know? We're best friends, so we get to joke around and goof off."

It is another unmissable event for the Hope; much like last years low key visit by Michael Kiwanuka.
You have been told, so, go get yo' satisfaction!

Lapalux - When you're gone EP.

So, Stuart Holden, a twenty something from Essex has just been signed to - arguably - the coolest label in the universe!
Under the guise Lapalux, our Stuart has been releasing his own material since 2008. His self released 'Forest EP' and the the more recent 'Many faces out of Focus album' alerted the heads over at the Brainfeeder camp and here he is. Boom!
I confess, i only really picked up his sound after his wicked bootleg of Gwen Stefani's 'Luxurious' from last Summer.
However, after digging a bit further into the sound and mind of Lapalux, it's easy to see why 'Fly Lo' has snapped up this very original and talented young producer.
