It was only a matter of time before David Bailey's band mate Alex Crofts from The Title Sequence did a saucy little remix of his friend's first single 'Another Season' from his solo project No Middle Name, wasn't it? Well played sirs, it's pretty damn good!
No Middle Name is the project of David Bailey (one half of Indie Pop/Electronica duo The Title Sequence). With the opportunity to debut his creative side, Bailey's first single 'Another Season' - taken from his forthcoming album - is accompanied by a slightly peculiar yet thoroughly lovable animated music video .
Tenderly crafted by the man himself from no experience, a low-budget scanner and a pad of paper, Bailey's revealing himself as a man of many talents and has made a video that fits perfectly with 'Another Season's' dream-pop/synth-laden sound, supported by the delicate vocals of Lindsay West.
'Another Season' is out on the 8th of July via Mollusc records.

Originally from Tennessee but currently based in Brooklyn, NY, meet 25 year old Lolo and her feisty attitude-fuelled single 'Weapon For Saturday'. Recorded in LA and co-produced by Mark Batson (Dr. Dre/Eminem) you'll be sorely disappointed if you're expecting some sort of hip hop/ rap number. Instead this is more trip-hop with a dramatic, surging, cinematic appeal to it.
With lyrics that are boldly self assured, overwhelming synth, sexy, sassy, guitar riffs and the fearless, self assured and powerful tone to Lolo's vocal range, Lolo is a pleasant diversion from the shy pop of your standard mainstream, female singer songwriter and we can't wait to hear more from her.

UK Dance Producer Hackman may be a new discovery for us, but over the past few years he has found fans in the form of familiar names such as Nick Grimshaw , Mary Anne Hobbs and Skream. In light of singer-songwriter and Hackman's sister, Marika Hackman's release of her new single 'Bath Is Black' ,Hackman has remixed the track and made the remix available for free download. The added chilled, electronic twist trickles through the original working keeping Marika's distinctive vocals but cancelling out the majority of the original airy, psychedelic-folk feel and replacing it with an underbelly of laziness and sensibility in its electronic and bass lines.

'Speak' is the new offering from Oxford five-piece Spring Offensive. Self produced and written in a remote cottage in Wales, 'Speak' is about introversion, and a quest for isolation. Lyrically, the track depicts a story where the narrator favours being emotionally shut off rather than having to embrace confrontation. Perhaps this theme of melancholy and inner turmoil is reflected and finds an outlet within the repetitive hypnotic driving loop and clattering rhythm that the song possesses.
The track comes accompanied by a live performance video shot by Sam King in a desolate and cavernous setting of one of the UK'S rare Racket Courts. Check out the video and follow the specified link at the bottom of the page if you fancy receiving a free download of the tune.
