VIDEO: J*DaVeY – Whatchalookin@ / Kill 4 Fun

This is the double-feature video, produced & directed by The Ports, for the tracks Whatchalookin@ and Kill 4 Fun by J*DaVeY.

The two tracks are lifted from J*DaVeY‘s forthcoming new album, New Designer Drug, which as of yet doesn’t have an actual release date. The duo, comprising of Jack Davey and Brook D’Leau, have been wowing crowds from the neo-soul persuasion through to fans of avantgarde pop for a while now, so I think we’re all very much ready for … [read more]

PREVIEW: Jimmy Flamante – Hip Beats Vol. 01

Juan Medina, aka Jimmy Flamante, is a laptop musician and music producer from Caracas, Venezuela.

Hip Beats Vol. 01 is Jimmy Flamante‘s new EP. It’s a body of work that reunites various styles within the same genre. Hip-hop beats that go from post-dubstep to much more classical techniques, in which there are only samples and drum hits used. Then it finishes as a sort of hybrid between Wu-Tang style beats, basslines and melodies composed with synthesizers, mutant cuts and textures.

We’re very pleased … [read more]

REVIEW: Blue Daisy – The Sunday Gift

Young Camden native Kwesi Darko – aka Blue Daisy – has been teasing us over the last couple of years with scraps of intriguing and imaginative production, from the Flying Lotus jerk of Wolf to the floating Space Ex featuring LaNote, all hinting at what a full Blue Daisy album might sound like. Well now Blue Daisy, and the Black Acre label, have provided the answer with the recent release of his debut album The Sunday Gift.

The album is indeed a gift, though … [read more]

VIDEO: Pixelord – Fish Touch (kidkanevil remix)

Russia and the UK collide here as friend of Jus Like Music, kidkanevil, remixes Pixelord‘s track Fish Touch. This heavy electronic beats banger has been exquisitely visualised by photographer Dan Medhurst, who has enlisted an array of be-crazed females to go a little ‘radio rental’ in front of the lens.

The track is from Pixelord‘s Fish Touch EP out now on Error Broadcast, and available to purchase from Boomkat. The EP also includes remixes from Om Unit and heRobust. … [read more]

REVIEW: 9th Wonder – The Wonder Years

9th Wonder recently released his fourth solo LP, The Wonder Years, on his own imprint, It’s A Wonderful World Music Group.

Few hip-hop musicians command the loyalty and respect that 9th Wonder does and it may be this that colours some of the rhymes and skits on this album. Right from the off, there is a short intro discussing the idea of legacy and the lack of control that one has over such matters. But from there on follows a classic, sample-laden album … [read more]

FREE: Metamono – Empty Game Zone

This is a bit out there, but I’m genuinely quite excited about the group known as Metamono. As weird/dull/arrogant (delete as appropriate) as this sounds, it’s not too often I get sent stuff I’ve totally not heard of AND like it. I mean the whole package as well; I’ve never heard of Metamono before now, or their label Ho Hum Records.

Anyway, to business! They describe themselves as being an electronic three-piece who observe and abide by a strict manifesto that includes things … [read more]

RADIO: Jus Like Music Show (22 Oct 11)

The newest edition of The Jus Like Music Show on NTS is now available to download via our podcast feed and stream via our Mixcloud page.

We span two hours of the finest new music, with album features from Blue … [read more]
