We Were Promised Jetpacks - WWPJ 1

We Were Promised Jetpacks today revealed a teaser of what we can expect from their second LP, due out later this year.  The video, simply titled WWPJ 1, is a mere one minute and five seconds in length, and contains live footage from their adventures Stateside as well as an agonising snippet of a track from album number two.  The album is currently penciled in for release in the Autumn and the quality of this teaser, has ensured this will be rather long wait.

The Rapture - How Deep Is Your Love?

The Rapture are back, to yet again slay dancefloors across the world. How Deep Is Your Love? may have been five years in the making but after just one listen, I'm firmly of the opinion it was worth every minute.  Utterly incredible.  This will soundtrack your summer.

Beyonce - Halo (How To Dress Well Refix)

This has been kicking about for a few weeks, but I only got round to giving it a spin yesterday.  My love and adoration for How To Dress Well is well known, Love Remains was undoubtedly one of the best records released last year and Tom Krell has gone and done it again, giving Beyonce's smash Halo the How To Dress Well treatment.  One of the best things I've heard all year.  Guilty pleasure no longer.

Nicola Roberts - Beat Of My Drum

It's always the quiet ones...  It's taken a while but the best one from Girls Aloud has finally released her debut single and it's an absolute monster.  It sounds a bit like We Are Your Friends would have done if Justice had got M.I.A to do some mad, addictive chants over the beat.  Diplo's percussion-heavy production is spot on and a ridiculously cool video always helps.  Cheryl take note; this is how you make a pop song.


Beat Of My Drum is out now and the album Cinderella Eyes is to follow some time in the autumn and will feature collaborations with Metronomy as well as Mr Blackberry, Diplo himself.
