Hear Vancouver Sleep Clinic connect with Drew Love on ‘Closure’

Vancouver Sleep Clinic has announced his first piece of new music for 2018, teaming up with THEY’s Drew Love on ‘Closure’.

“Closure is a song that happened very naturally and quickly” said VSC (aka producer Tim Bettinson) of the track, adding “I was with Drew Love in LA and the whole thing came together in about 4 hours one night we were working. The song is for when you have really screwed a good thing up but are way too attached to let that person go easily. I love coming out with it first because in a way it’s a declaration of intent that i wont be going away any time soon.”

Hear Luke Burr’s shining debut ‘Too Far Gone’

We’ve been keeping a close eye on Luke Burr for a good few years now, having seen him perform at many of the London nightspots that seems the launchpad for many of today’s shining chart-recruits. It may have been a long journey but today finally sees the release of the 22 year-old’s excellent debut single ‘Too Far Gone’.

Described as “a lovelorn track draped across expansive production”, Luke tells us that the song “was written when I was questioning something a lot. But knowing that I’ve given so much to it and love it far too much to ever give it up… For me “Too Far Gone” is about not giving up. It’s a feeling where you’ve given so much to something that you can’t ever walk away”.

Keep a close eye on this one – a song that starts off as a somewhat slowjam encapsulates into an ethereal sub-futuretronic experience, brought back to the ground by Luke’s smooth soulful vocals.

Jungle announce summer 2018 UK tour

Jungle have announced a run of new live shows ahead of their impending new material.

Set to kick off in Canada and then toward the US in early-April, the London-based collective will then travel the country throughout the month before heading to the UK for a series of headline performances. Currently tour stops have been confirmed across most major cities with the exception of London – it’s widely-likely these will be announced nearer the time.

Jungle’s J and T (aka Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland, the production duo behind the group) have been spending the past couple of years hopping between the UK and the US to fine-tune their forthcoming second album – the project, which is still without a title or release date, was recently described by the Londoners as a “Post-apocalyptic radio station playing break-up songs. It’s like you’re tuning into a fucked -up station, catching little bits.”

Russ Chimes has dropped his surprise rework of Justin Timberlake’s ‘Higher Higher’. An unofficial edit as it stands, the groovy interpretation of the ‘Man Of The Woods’ outtake is definitely fixed for clubland – punchy, exciting and definitely ripe for what could be a superb remix EP (if Timberlake ever dabbled in those realms).
