‘La Plage’ feat. Bipolar Sunshine – Murkage/’Rats’ – Rainy Milo

I’ve been considering re-naming this blog to ‘Staying In’. I’m either getting boring, lazy – or both. My attitude needs to change ASAP. Thankfully I’ve retained my enthusiasm for new music. Here are a couple of tracks I’m enjoying at the moment.

La Plage feat. Bipolar Sunshine – Murkage

Further niceness from Manchester-based Murkage with their new release ‘La Plage’. Their upfront, revolution-inducing lyricism combines well with the melodic vocals of Mancunian artist of the moment, Bipolar Sunshine. They add a controlled feel to the track, particularly when comparing it to previous Murkage releases such as ‘Torches’. This is not a bad thing. It’s what makes you sit up and really think: OK, now they’re getting serious.

Check the audio here, which is now available on Murkage’s Soundcloud page. Also watch out for the ‘La Plage’ video, coming soon.

 

Rats – Rainy Milo

Her accent is prevalent, so much so I want to go to London right now, while her tone is just lovely. I cannot get enough of this; it evokes memories of travelling around the city and the 2 London boys I thought I loved (not at the same time). Released on the 21st of this month,  it’s available for download on  iTunes.

The music showcase I’d like to attend this weekend is…

Invader Music and Coded Rhythm are both home to impressive roster of musical talent. The record label and the club night have come together to present a line up of artists from Invader, Invader collaborators and Coded Rhythm residents tonight. They will also be joined by special guests Marco Del Horno, Eric Volta, Jouhl and Madam X.

Invader Music started up just over a year ago and already has strong reputation for developing artists that produce interesting, unique and strong material such as the ones performing tonight. Gone Out has already paid homage to Jacksun Fear’s ‘Hidden’ as one of the sleaziest tracks we’d like to dance to that particular weekend and we’re extremely interested to listen to Bipolar Sunshine, the latest solo project of former Kid British member Adio Marchant.

Make your way to the Soup Kitchen basement tonight, Friday 15^th of February for Invader Music and Coded Rhythm presents Invader.  Here’s something to get you warmed up while you’re getting ready.

 

10pm to 3pm, Soup Kitchen, 31-33 Spear Street, £5/£6/more OTD, tickets available from Skiddle.
