Hype Hype - Ifan Dafydd

Whilst trawling through the crapfest of music the internet contains today, this caught my attention. On the 9th February Gilles Peterson show James Blake guested and this song was played. Not much information was given besides the track and artist name. The blogoshere has now erupted with speculations about who this Ifan Dafydd person is with ideas that he is another of Blake's aliases or just some Welsh man who is good at making music in a similar style to James Blake.
Anyway, here's the track entitled 'No Good', featuring a sample of Amy Winehouse's 'You know im no good' (hence the above image, incase you were wondering).
I'm sure we'll be hearing more of this guy very soon. Stay tuned.

BONUS: Peverelist - Roll With The Punches (Harmonimix)

Tyler 'Yonkers' Live in Washington DC Feb 14th

This song came out less than a week ago and these people knew every single word. Even the third verse.. which is not in the video.

This thing is officially out of control.

SWAG.

Cassius & Ghostface - Thrilla (The Streets Remix)

This tune has been around for at least 5 years now but hardly anyone has heard it, which is a damn shame. In my opinion this remix of Cassius and GFK's track 'Thrilla' is some of Mike Skinners best work. The mix of French house, UK garage and NY rap would never normally work however Skinner managed to get it just right. This track needs to be heard and was very much ahead of it's time which is probably why it so hard to find.

Fillet Steak & Tortellini

Ellesse making a comeback?

These are pretty 80's retro. Can't decide if like or not. Also where has this brand been for the last 20 years???

SBTRKT & SAMPHA - Living Like I Do

New track from 2 favourites at Bitter Instinct. This bangs. Sampha's soulful, unique voice flows so perfectly over the bouncy garage beat by SBTRKT. Set for release 11th April on Young Turks.
