DOWNLOAD: Rimar - Higher Ground

What do you say about a song like this? Not in a bad way, it's just Rimar makes the sort of music that would turn Paul Morley into a weed-smooth West Coast FM jock were he to attempt to describe it. It's sunshine party music for pretty girls to sway to. It's as refreshing and as comforting as an ice cold beer. Alternatively, don't drink, just "jam" it on your "car stereo" as you cruise along "the Strip". The potency of it should be plain when I tell you that I've never been to California and I haven't got a car. "Higher Ground" is out through Bella Union on November 7. Get it before it gets you, daddio!
DOWNLOAD: Vetiver - More Of This (Neighbours RMX)

...in which Vetiver's Andy Cabic remixes Vetiver track "More Of This". It gets more disorientating than that, Cabic's 'Neighbours' remix taking in Hawaiian surf and sun-drenched Afro guitars and still somehow sounding like Christmas. I guess it's the bells. Either way, things are pretty chill here, so we're not gonna ruin the good vibes by worrying about it too much at work's-almost-done 'o' clock on a Friday - find "More Of This" on a new, limited edition Vetiver 12", out through Bella Union at the end of the month.
Sounds like: Floating Points, Vampire Weekend, Wham

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Zero 7 - Pop Art Blue

The summer's coming to an end. It's sad but it's true. I guess the consolation is that there's always gonna be a next year to get drunk outside and smoke too much and essentially ruin yourself, unless of course this was summer that broke the camel's back and you've sworn a vow to teetotal celibacy. Maybe it's time to grow up - if it is, then turn your ears the way of "Pop Art Blue". Zero 7 don't seem to do anything but 'grown up'.
Sounds Like: Chris Isaak, Norah Jones, Portishead
