Double Denim records

It was my birthday a while ago and so while I was down in Brighton last week, my top man J from Dangerdance popped down to join in the Great Escape festivities. Obviously he mainly came down to Brighton to drop off my b-day presents.

These were the incredibly sought after Burial, Four Tet & Thom Yorke collaboration 12" Ego/Mirror and a heap of ace 7" records from Double Denim Records.

In fact they're so ace I thought I'd stick them on here so you lot can get "down and groovy" with me.

Starslinger split with Hard Mix. One side soul-sampling instrumental (see yesterday), other side chillwave at its finest. Both sides brilliant.

I've gone on and on about Blackbird Blackbird on here, but in addition to his two songs Pure and So Sorry Girl there's the B-side by Paopao whom I'd never heard of.
Liberia is a pretty belting tune:

Then I got Body Language's 7" of which B-side Social Studies is possibly one of the catchiest pop tunes I've heard in ages.

All these records are sold out so if you liked them, well unlucky.

But fear not!

Every now and then Double Denim are looking for help round the office. As payment you might get a stack of records. So if you're around the London area and fancy labouring for music you could do worse than follow them on Twitter and maybe be the first to hear about these kind of things. You could even be lucky enough to grab a copy of the up 'n' coming Christian AIDS 7". Not a bad thing IMO.

Seeing Suge

When three of your favourite in-the-moment music makers combine forces, it can rarely be bad. Seeing as Emay, Blackbird Blackbird and Star Slinger are all AndygoesdowntoChinatown favourites I can hardly find any reasons not to write about this brilliant track that arrived in my virtual postbox yesterday.

Seeing Suge is the name of this collab project and Breaking is the name if their first single

Breaking also samples another AGDCT-favourite Memoryhouse, making this just one huge swirling music-orgy.

Download Seeing Suge's EP for free from bandcamp. No seriously do.

the EP also features one song from each collaborator, so you can deffo see who brings what to the table.

Here's the only Video I could find to link. It's Emay's offering called Sleep

Blackbird Blackbird Featuring Steffaloo

So this morning my boy Mikey S. aka. Blackbird Blackbird hit me with his new track Fly featuring Steffaloo.



When I say my boy I don't literally mean he's my boy. In fact me and Mikey aren't related in any kind of way.

But I guess I had a point to make with this post as well as denying that Blackbird Blackbird is my son. Possibly about the music.

'Tis a tidy track people. Essentially a reworking of his own earlier one.

This one:


It sounds a bit less rough and a bit more complete and a bit like this:

Blackbird Blackbird - Fly (Feat. Steffaloo)


This of course isn't the first collaboration done with Steffaloo. He's also done this one:

Blackbird Blackbird

Blackbird Blackbird are very high in my top-whatever list of stuff that sounds very NOW and very GOOD.



Formerly known as Bye Bye Blackbird (changed due to copyright issues), Blackbird Blackbird aka. Mikey S. has been a busy man. Not long ago he was giving his Happy High Ep away for nought, and already he's out with the next set of tunes. This time it's the Let's Move On EP also available for downloading.



And as if that wasn't enough he's also already got one additional new track called 'Hawaii' available on his blog.
