Heavy

Indie rockers The Heavy are a band which you wouldn't classically pigeon hole as indie music. There are the strong guitar elements you'd expect to hear in their sound but there's a hell of a lot of funk and soul to the tunes this English quartet pump out. Their latest single 'How You Like Me Now?' is the kind of song that would be the soundtrack for a modern day Huggy Bear, all the soul of the seventies with the driving guitars that could power Starsky's Gran Torino straight to 2009. Signed to Counter Records, a sub label of the fantastic Ninjatune, The Heavy have also compiled a superb remix package with fellow west countryman Joker putting his trademark Dubstep spin on the track and a conga-tastic remix from Solo which also comes in Dub form on the record. 'How You Like Me Now?' by The Heavy is out on 31st August on Counter Records.

Superpose

Brazilian electro pop band Superpose have just released the first single, 'The Queen Of The Night' from their 'Aurora EP' and have gathered a host of fellow Brazilian acts for remix duty. There is something for everyone on this single covering all bases from minimal to maximal with impressive work from Bloodshake, Roots Rock Revolution and frequent Electric Zoo attraction Edu K who's surpassed himself once again with this deep, minimal baile funk frenzy.

Reeling

Passion Pit are a band that have been slowly growing on my this year, admittedly I didn't give their album 'Manners' as much of a chance to impress me to begin with as I could have, but slowly and surely their infectious high pitched pop has won me over. Another thing that helps ease this sort music onto my speakers is the impressive remixes that are sure to follow, for example this outstanding Dubstep take on 'The Reeling' by Flufftronix going down the dangerous Skream/La Roux or Nero/The Streets route. Show Flufftronix your support by Voting Here for him to win a spot at Lollapalooza.

Loveys

T-Ski or to use a name most of us will be more familiar with; Mr Trevor Loveys has been keeping busy as of late with a lot of remix work using both handles, and here are some of the fruits of his labour, a remix for cockney electro pop act My Toys Like Me and this tasty collaboration with Aquasky both kindly sent my way this week.

Avalon

This duo aren't exactly strangers to the blog, one half of the team has already been featured a number of times now under the more familiar guise of Chesus & Rodski and the other half is better known as fellow Cardiff resident Organ Morgan. Avalon however is a totally different kettle of fish, leaving behind all traces of Garage and Baltimore influence and bringing the Funk, Disco and French House stylings to their tracks, sort of in the same vein as His Majesty Andre or the last Voodoo Chilli EP . Check out these two bangers below for a taste of what I'm raving on about.

Momma's Boy

Teki Latex's Sound Pellegrino is shaping up to be one of my top labels of 2009, with some very impressive EPs laid down by Zombie Disco Squad, Renaissance Man, Havard Bass and Douster this year alone. Next up to join their roster is Momma's Boy, also known as Mike Gnacadja or Mikix The Cat of the Trouble & Bass family. This new name brings with it a new direction than what we're used to with Mikix's tunes, Momma's Boy delivers a lighter more playful sound, with beats influenced by his Beninese roots, and bass influenced by his moves from Paris to Berlin. The 'Wedouwedou/Give It Up' double a side EP from Momma's Boy is forthcoming on Sound Pellegrino and will be available from Juno and all good download sites.

Inner Time

To long time followers of the blog, Brabe will be no stranger. Since his early days, fusing his classical background with a love for modern music Ive been a fan of this Dutch prodigy, and his tracks always seem to reflect his influences and musical experience down to a tee in perfect composition. Its clear that the early works of Dave Taylor and Trevor Loveys have rubbed off on young Brabe, as he continues to develop the deep house sound that the 'fidget' house phenomenon historically spawned from, staying clear of the over-used samples and techniques that categorise most 'fidget' clogging up our download stores today (That is of course excluding his satirical commentary of the genre, see below). The same quality can be vouched for in his latest EP on Jack Union Records as Brabe delivers a great record full of deep, jacking house vibes just in time for the summer. The 'Inner Time EP' by Brabe is out this week on Jack Union Records and available from Beatport and Juno.

Summer Loungin'
Always been a huge fan of the West London label Lougin' Recordings. An off shoot of the equally as excellent Front Room Recordings, the label was originally setup by Chris Belsey, Jesse Rose and Sinden as an output for some fantastic Broken Beat records putting out some classic releases from the likes of Solid Groove, Trevor Loveys, Sinden, Lil Bo Tweak and The Young Lovers. Trevor Loveys has a long history with this label working on a number of the above projects, but its been five years since he released his last solo EP with Loungin' and hes back this year with a welcome return record. With the 'Good To Be Here EP' Loveys delivers a package full of summer vibes and deep house grooves reminiscent of some of the old House Of 909 sounds that Trevor was first known for along with partners in crime at the time, Affie Yusuf and Nigel Casey. The 'Good To Be Here EP' by Trevor Loveys is out now on Loungin' Recordings and available to buy from Beatport and on vinyl from Juno.
