In 2012, rising British house producer Duke Dumont was known as a 'Producers Producer'. However, he's about to hit the dance charts solo with his up and coming club classic! Co-written by MNEK (who recently collaborated with Rudimental), Duke will release ‘Need U (100%)’ on his newly founded Blasé Boys Club label in association with Ministry of Sound. 'Need U (100%)’ features fantastic vocals from 17 year-old A*M*E*. It took […]

I caught up with Ed Drewett on What's New to discuss his new single 'Drunk Dial'. The incredibly talented artist has debuted his new tune this week taken from his album Blink - due for release later this year. Ed's written for the likes of The Wanted, Olly Murs and also featured as the vocalist on Professor Green's hit 'I Need You Tonight'. Well known for his song writing, Ed's […]

Normally I don’t pick talent show acts as ‘single of the week’ however this song caught my attention on the first listen. Those of you who watch ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ may recognise Manchester band ‘The Mend’ from their audition last year. ‘Where Were You’ will be the bands debut single, however they are yet to announce an album. With a lead vocal that sounds like a cheerier Maverick Sabre it’s […]

Wretch 32 (pronounced Wretch 3 2, not 32) delivers us his new single taken off his up and coming album, due for release later this year. The English rapper has teamed up with London-based singer Shakka to create a rather chilling tune, which fits Wretch's style. The rapper topped MTV'S 'Best Of The Best MC Of 2012' last year and hits back with an incredible tune showing us why he […]

Newcomer Jess Mills is taking on Antika Baker by releasing new material, a cover of the 1986 R&B classic 'Sweet Love'. We've heard hundreds of artists/bands take on covers of classic records but Jess Mills has done something different with this spectacular, melodious tune. I absolutely love this single but unfortunately I'm backing the original, however, that's not to say it'll not climb the UK Charts. The London newcomer is […]

Our single of the week comes from a TV soundtrack (words I never thought I would write) Best known for her role in ‘Heroes’ Hayden Panettiere has also voiced characters in various animated films including ‘A Bugs Life’ and ‘Alpha and Omega’ she is now in the ABC (More 4 and Sky in the UK) musical drama ‘Nashville’ based around the US’s country music scene. Hayden is releasing tracks from […]

From Laura Mvula's EP 'Sing To The Moon' Green Garden sounds like the kind of song which should be on a mobile phone advert (listen up O2, EE, Vodaphone and the rest) with its repetitive xylophone background. Laura is picked out as one of the BBC's 'Sounds Of 2013' so you are sure to hear and see more of her this year. You can find out more on her website […]

Unleashing his first single from his debut album, Mikill Pane is about to strike the chart's with an utterly addictive future hit! After I heard his catchy single, I couldn't believe I had never heard of Mikill Pane before. The up and coming artist has collaborated with the likes of Example, Paloma Faith Yasmin and even Katie Price! (Maybe that's why I hadn't heard of him?) Jokes aside, Mikill has […]
