Listen to Kanye West, Lil Yachty and Quavo’s unreleased ‘Face Down’

Kanye West’s long-rumoured collaboration with Lil Yachty and Quavo has leaked online.

Teased last summer when Kanye and Migos were spotted in the studio together, the existence of new music took further notches back at the turn of this year, when Quavo announced he’d been working with Yeezy.

The source of the leak of the song, titled ‘Face Down’ is currently unknown, however on first listen, it sounds far removed from anything on Kanye’s recent ‘YE’, so unlikely formed part of that album’s recording sessions.

Watch Kamasi Washington, Christine & The Queens and more perform on Jools Holland

0

Daniel Caesar, Kamasi Washington and Christine and the Queens have become the latest inductees into the Jools Holland hall of fame.

Appearing on the most recent episode of BBC2’s ‘Later… with Jools Holland’ series, Kamasi and co were also joined by St Vincent, Daniel Blumber and James to complete the eclectic line-up. Undoubtedly it was the aforementioned Kamasi alongside his impeccable band, plus Daniel Caesar (who enlisted H.E.R. for a gorgeous rendition of ‘Best Part’) who stole the show – though not at the detriment to the rest.

Hear Becky Hill’s new single ‘Sunrise In The East’

It’s been more than a minute since we’ve heard anything new from Becky Hill (last year’s ‘Unpredictable’ is still fucking great, but it’s also ‘well 2017’, and if you didn’t realise, we’re now firmly in 2018-territory).

Worry not though, the Bewdley born-and-raised singer/songwriter is now back, and she’s ready to totally amp up the schedule for new music. Now firmly in ‘album-mode’ (her debut full-length is set to land early next year), Becky’s now been given full major-label backing courtesy of Polydor, and today comes the first fruits of her labour with ‘Sunrise In The East’.

Revealed as Jamz Supernova’s latest Jam Hot on 1Xtra, ‘Sunrise In The East’ has all the hallmarks of summer – written by Maverick Sabre alongside Lostboy, this one could undoubtedly put Becky on the trajectory of getting bigger font-sizes on festival line-ups.

Lifted off their forthcoming album ‘Hive Mind’, out 20th July, the track couples with last month’s ‘Roll (Burbank Funk)’ to make their follow-up to ‘Ego Death’ one of this year’s most hotly-anticipated releases.

Richie Hawtin announces UK headline shows

Richie Hawtin has announced plans to bring his award-winning CLOSE shows to the UK later this year.

Set to play two nights in October – at Glasgow’s O2 Academy and London’s Roundhouse – the shows will see the electronic DJ’s Spontaneity & Synchronicity concept be supported by Swedish electronic act TM404 aka Andreas Tilliander, a regular guest at Hawtin’s ENTER residency in Ibiza.

“I have spent most of my life behind a table half-concealed” says Hawtin of the new dates, adding “The CLOSE show removes the barrier between artist and audience and it feels like I’m in that moment with everybody else. It feels very powerful. If I can get to that point during the show with everybody, that’s why I got into this music. Being locked in this cloud of frequencies that feels like its from tomorrow; that you’re living in the future. I am really happy to finally perform this show at the Roundhouse in London, and the Scottish crowds have always been a huge inspiration to me.”

CLOSE tickets go on sale on Friday June 8 – hit the link below for more details; full schedule follows:
