Mariah Carey - Ribbon























Pink: Another great track written and produced by The-Dream/Tricky. This one comes from Mariah's forthcoming album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel which is her eleventh studio album. As we already know from Touch my Body and Obsessed these two are a really exciting team

Blue: I dunno bout this one, it really doesnt go anywhere. I like The Dream tracks but I cant get into this track.

Elkland - Apart





Blue: In 2005 a little band called Elkland released this song "Apart" it didnt get the buzz I thought it deserved. Reminded me of Erasure for some reason. Very Synth Heavy. I had to scour the internet to bring you this lost gem. Hope you like it.

Pink: Fun song. Good find. Singer sounds like Robert Smith

Klashnekoff - The Revolution (Will Not Be Televised On Channel U)




















BONUS: Terrorise The City


Pink: This track (and album) is almost a rarity. It's British rap and it's not grime. It's hip-hop. See what you think

Blue: See if there was more music like this coming out from British artists I would be really happy. I guess for now I'm going to have to look up more stuff from this dude.

Little Dragon - Looking Glass





Blue: I think it was about a year ago when I first heard this on track called "infinite love". Thing is this track wasn't on any album it was a promo track for Cartier. So I figured if i can like a commissioned track so much their album stuff must be amazing. My logic was correct. Their previous album was great and now their new Album is equally as amazing. But this track is my favorite. Its the sound of Soul embracing the mechanical coldness of the electronics and making babies.

Dizzee Rascal - Dirtee Cash





















Pink: Man, just listen. If you don't like this then click the little red box on your tab and never return

Blue: Hey, you know what? I liked this, so im going to illegally download his album. Then most likely buy this later on. How you feel about that hmmm? Sometimes I wish I could speak like Dizzee, and freak out all my friends.

Nouveau Riche - Win Win Win





Blue: First off, bad news, this band is now defunct. But they released 2 amazing EPs before their demise. Hailing from Philly this funk/hip hop group took many of it's cues from The Roots. The Only difference? Nouveau had Nikki Jean, who is now signed to Columbia Records. Nikki's sultry and playful voice added a certain soul that most funk/hip hop groups didn't have. I discovered this song after Lupe Fiasco had dropped "The Cool" and I gave "hip hop saved my life" a listen, it features her in the chorus. HHSML and Win Win Win both show that Nikki is going to be something fierce and beautiful at the same time.

Pink: Interesting stuff and not what i was expecting to hear. I liked that Lupe track she featured on (and the rest of The Cool) so i'll be checking out these EPs for sure

Basement Jaxx Ft Lightspeed Champion - My Turn



















Pink: Taken from the forthcoming album Scars, My Turn is almost a departure for Jaxx. I say almost because while it does sound like Jaxx it also sounds almost like a remix with them putting their trademark huge pop beats over somebody elses song. Despite this it's damn good and i can't stop listening to it

Blue: The dude singing, he used to be in "Test Icicles" right? Cause if I didnt know any better I wouldve thought he was Kele's Older brother. But anywho I woke up this morning really grumpy and sluggish, but once I heard this song this little smirk came over me. I also enjoy this song because its not your typical Jaxx song.
