Inbetween those showcases there are tracks from the likes of; Akira Kiteshi, Instra:Mental, Reggie B & Miles Bonny, and also The xx remix of Florence + The Machine’s cover of Candi Staton’s You’ve Got The Love, which is killer!

VIDEO: Pollyn – Still Love

This is the psychedelic new video to the track Still Love by LA group Pollyn. Still Love is taken from Pollyn’s debut album This Little Night, which is available right now. Blending subtle electronic sounds with ethereal vocals, the track is both haunting and beautiful. It feels like a tasteful homage to that 90s trip-hop era, whilst staying most definitely in the now with its sharp dubstepesque production techniques.

The single also contains remixes by Sid Roams (of Dilated Peoples production fame), and two London residents; Débruit (by the way of France) and Blue Daisy. The original is brilliant, but the remixes are also wicked renditions of the track. Here’s the original and the Débruit remix for you to check out…

GIG: Chali 2na @ Cargo, LDN

Ex Jurassic 5 member, Chali 2na, is coming to London! Chali 2na will be performing live (with a full band) at Cargo, London (EC2A) on Wednesday 2nd December. Tickets are only £12, but will go fast, so be quick and get them booked online.

It felt like the end of an era when J5 decided to call it a day, but many of the members have gone on to work on their own projects, and Chali 2na is one of them. Mr 2na has recently finished, and now released via Decon, his debut solo LP Fish Outta Water. It features guest appearances from the likes of; Beenie Man, Talib Kweli, Choklate, Elzhi and Damian Marley. Check out this video for the track International, taken from the album…
