Listen: Kali Uchis – ‘Tyrant’ (ft Jorja Smith)

After spending the last couple of years appearing alongside the likes of Tyler, The Creator, Snoop Dogg, Major Lazer and Goldlink, plus featuring on two joints on the new Gorillaz album, Kali Uchis has stepped back into her own realm, dropping her new single Tyrant.

Featuring Jorja Smith, the track comes amid the announcement of a second London summer show following next month’s sold-out gig at Jazz Cafe where she’ll hit Hackney’s Oslo on 11th June.

Tickets will go onsale later this week; in the meantime stream Tyrant below:

With this Luck & Neat collab in the bag, July can’t come quick enough.

Listen: MagnusTheMagnus – ‘Keep On Lovin’ (ft Seinabo Sey)

MagnusTheMagnus reconnects with Seinabo Sey following remixing the latter’s Sorry early last year, this time on his own jam, Keep On Lovin’. Mura Masa fans, take note – Magnus follows Mura’s winning trick of vocal chops and pitch-shifting with this one, whilst also introducing us to a new vision of Seinabo’s voice, and one which delivers ideas on how her tones could work within the futuretronic realm.

Glastonbury 2017: Mistajam self-confirms for Arcadia

Radio 1 and 1Xtra’s Mistajam has self-confirmed his appearance at this summer’s Glastonbury, marking the first act to be revealed to perform at Arcadia.

With the line-up for the dance area still under wraps, Mistajam has confirmed he’ll hit Glastonbury’s ‘giant spider’ on Sunday 25th June, two days post his appearance at Shangri-La where he’ll play host to the ‘garage & grime’ soundclash, featuring Heartless Crew, MC Kie, MC Vapour and more.

UPDATE: Further investigation has confirmed that Skream and Solardo had been confirmed for Arcadia prior to Mistajam; our bad for failing to pick that one up (though having a Mistajam set on the spider is still pretty awesome in our eyes!)

Check out the rest of Mistjam’s summer dates below:

Listen: Aminé – Redmercedes (remix ft Missy Elliott & AJ Tracey)

Holy shit – Aminé’s dropped a new remix of RedMercedes, inviting Missy Elliott and our very own AJ Tracey onboard to throw some fresh bars across March’s excellent banger.

Having Missy hop on is exciting stuff for one – the original of RedMercedes certainly had comparisons to some of her early/mid-2000s work (Let It Bump for starters), but AJ’s feature is equally as impressive.

Bump it below; this one’s wild!

Win National Express travel tickets to Glastonbury 2017

Already got your ticket to 2017’s Glastonbury Festival but still sorting out your transport? No worries, we’ve got you covered! We’ve teamed up with National Express to give away two pairs of return tickets to the festival from one of their many departure points across the country.

National Express have been the official Glastonbury coach partner for over 20 years. Not only do they depart from countless points across the UK (now also including direct services from Bristol Airport straight to Worthy Farm), their highly applauded green credentials mean their coaches emit five times less CO2 emissions than if you were to hit up the farm in your car.

Additionally, coach travel doesn’t mean you’ll be slumming it – all National Express customers are entitled to place two 20kg bags in the hold (which, packing well, pretty much means you’ll be properly covered for the full five days of Glasto). Their services also cover the entirety of the event, arriving early-doors at the festival at around 4:30am on Wednesday 21 June, with return coaches ready to scarper between 4pm on Sunday 25 June right through to 2am on Monday 26 June (basically meaning you can still have a sneaky venture into Shangri-La before that sleepy journey home).

Tickets can be purchased direct from the link below; the competition follows:

Listen: Original Dodger – ‘Millionaire’ (ft Daecolm, P Money & Davinche)

Original Dodger, aka the original duo behind Artful Dodger, have revealed their first piece of new music in almost 15 years.

Featuring Daecolm, P Money and Davinche, Millionaire marks a return to the soulful 2-step groove that made Mark and Pete’s original success so deserved back in the early-2000s.

“Millionaire combines all our favourite elements in one tune, a typical Dodger bass-line and drums with a great Lyrical concept, hook and melodies from Daecolm and Davinche and P. Money tops it all off with an unbelievable flow.” says Mark, with Pete adding “from the minute Daecolm sung the hook we knew we were onto something. It has a really positive message; be yourself, don’t try to impress people and work hard”.

Original Dodger will be revealing new music throughout the summer, culminating in the impending release of their 11-track mixtape, aptly-titled Soundtrack.
