Really sick dancefloor number, this one. Tune is out soon via Pictures Music, look forward to more from young Bobby.

Welsh producer Dauwd dropped What’s There back in November. A very consistent release and instantly appealing. The single received a lot of love at the back end of last year along with the track Ikopol, but no real mention of Acireams, my personal favourite on the release. Dauwd is on Pictures Music alongside the genius of Koreless, Lapalux and Seams… and rightly so.

Symmetry (Johnny Jewel and Nat Walker) famous for creating the score to Drive, have dropped a new release: Themes For An Imaginary Film. I’m not sure if these tracks are literally spill over from Drive, as the style is practically identical - regardless it stands alone as a very strong 2 hours of cinematic slickness. Out of all 37 tracks, The Maze stood out as my favourite. Wait for the super slow-mo 4×4 drop halfway through.

I’ve been digging for a lot of new music recently – most of it techno influenced – a thirst brought on by my trip to the Berghain Warehouse Project back in December. Out of all the music I’ve found – which I’ll share over the next few months – this had to be the first track. Redshape is on the Frankfurt based Running Back Records - a label which seems to be pushing a whole host of artists in the same vein. Definitely check them out! On Da Floor is an epic 8 minute track which only really kicks in around the 4:30 mark. It’s massively worth the wait.

Spent a couple of days in Brighton over the Christmas break. These are a few shots I captured on my phone, edited with instagram. If you want to follow my feed search rossgunter.
I just discovered Pedestrian today. He’s signed to Push and Run and debuted at Boiler Room B2B with Gang Colours. When listening you can’t help but be reminded of Gold Panda, intricate organic samples, sun drenched synths and a consistent low end sub. He’ll blatantly be one of the handful of newcomers that people urge you to watch out for. Get it.

This track, if nothing else, makes me grin. It’s probably the instant connection to the simple yet brilliant video. It’s not dissimilar to countless other tracks from the early 80s boogie funk era but up there with one of my favourites. It was dropped in ’83 on the album Love for Love. Also check out the Onra edit.

Never gave Born Like This a chance so I hadn’t heard this until very recently. Sick use of Brazilian Rhyme.

Sounds more like Daphi than Caribou to me. Went down a treat at NYE and NYD. Thanks to secretsundaze, ManMakeMusic, Braiden, James Fox, Mixcloud crew and all the friends that came along.

I’m hosting room two along with the lovely guys from ManMakeMusic and Braiden in a few days to celebrate NYE. Room one has some serious talent with Âme, Levon Vincent and Kyle Hall as well as secretsundaze residents Giles and James holding things down. Go here to buy tickets or if you want any more info.
Can’t wait.
