Delay time with alternative pop and deep Detroit groove to piano ballads and b-side soul.

This week is curated by London-based band Girls Of The Internet who push the earmarks of house, garage and dub in their dance-heavy sound. Their latest release ‘In Love Again / Baby’ is out now via Drab Queen.

In band member Tom’s words “There’s no real concept behind the mix, it’s just tunes I was feeling in the moment. It’s a fair representation of the music I listen to day to day – a little slice of life for you.”

Make U Mine

You'll Come Around (feat. James Alexander Bright)

In late January this year, my stepfather was diagnosed with leukaemia without much warning. He was admitted to hospital and we found out he had the most aggressive form of the disease. He died just over two weeks after.

It was especially triggering for us as a family - we lost my father to cancer in 1999.
 
I had this beat on my hard-drive for a while - I’d considered just putting it out as an instrumental, but I could hear a vague melody in my head. As soon as Michael was admitted into hospital, words started coming to me to fill those melodies, and the song was written within days. I sent it to the choir to get properly recorded. In a ubiquitous twist of fate, they sent the finished track back to me when I was in hospital by Michael’s side, just a few hours before they switched off life support and we watched him take his final breaths.
 
I don't really like to speak publicly about the meaning of my music, I like everybody to take their own meaning from the songs I’m involved with - but ‘Forever’ is about the feelings and emotions you go through as a family when you find out a loved one is battling a serious condition. Watching my Mother’s unquestioned support. The hope we can make it through. The feeling of wanting to help, wanting to be there, but knowing that nothing you can do will make a difference. All you can do is be there, be present.

‘Forever’ is out today, and means a lot to me.

When U Go (FYI Chris Remix)

lnk.to/DRAB03

Following their debut single on Classic Records, and collaborations with legendary Chicago vocalist Peven Everett, and Natalie Maddix of the House Gospel Choir, Girls of the Internet are back with a brand new single.

'Remember My Name' is a collaboration with unsung British Soul diva Linda Muriel. Linda was a founding member of Acid Jazz mainstays Incognito and The Brand New Heavies. At the point both bands were about to blow up, she was diagnosed with a brain tumour, and incredibly, lost her voice for 2 years. The bands had moved on by the time she recovered and her voice returned, but to this day, she remains a fierce singer and powerful songwriter.

Remixes of the track come from Detroit Deep House royalty, Rick Wade, the devilishly handsome Marcel Vogel, and Lobster Theremin & OR:LA approved Pépe, who turns in a UK Garage flavoured mix.

More singles from Girls of the Internet are scheduled, and work has begun on their debut album. The Girls are hoping to make their live debut very soon.
