We are pretty excited about the new Filthy Dukes single ‘This Rhythm.’ Samuel Dust from Late Of The Pier on guest vocals and remixes from the likes of Fred Falke, Emperor Machine, Toddla T and Kill Em All (on MySpace player for previewing). The video directed by Sarah Chatfield is both beautiful and haunting. Official release is March 9th with the full length due March 16th.
‘Forget My Name’ is the new EP from Berlin-based Jesse Rose. The B-side on this Dubsided release ‘Touch My Horn’ isn’t necessarily the most sophisticated tune but it grows on you after a couple of listens. Playfully balancing his signature bounce with glitchy horn samples throughout. Look for a Crookers remix to hit the streets soon.
