Well, that was another struggle, but we got there in the end. It's another rocking start to this week's list, before Los Bitchos serve up a reggae-tinged Latin groove which takes us into a more electronic/dance section with Jenny Hval, Deborah Luca and Lower Dens. The Monochrome Set bring us back to earth, before Anfy Fosberry closes things out with "Snow in August"... I did see some autumn leaves the other day, but no snow as yet... Pick of the tracks is Deborah De Luca's absolute banger of a dance tune, "Galaxy", even though it's only a 2 minute edit.

Noisy indie pop maestros Seazoo announce their return with swaggering new effort THROW IT UP! Enjoy!

THROW IT UP

Long-time (3+ years!) curator of a regular weekly 10 track playlist of legit, (mostly) new tracks from Soundcloud, dug up here, there and everywhere. The lists always start out as 10 tracks, but some subsequently get pulled from Soundcloud by the band/artist or the label, so don't blame me for any short lists!
