As the release date for Disclosure’s debut album draws ever closer, the duo reveal a new album cut called ‘When a Fire Starts to Burn’. The song is funkier than their previous pure-garage releases and although it makes for interesting insight into what their new album will offer – it isn’t their strongest effort to date. Production aside, towards the end of the track the non-stop vocal loop begins to feel a little jarring. But make no mistake, this won’t make a bit of difference to the impending success of their debut album Settle - get ready for the Disclosure takeover, it official begins June 3rd.

As The xx continue their worldwide ‘Night + Day’ tour (soon to be hitting London, we cannot wait!), they surprised their German fans in Berlin by bringing out fellow London girl Jessie Ware to perform A unique cover of Stardust’s ‘Music Sounds Better With You’. Just take a listen to Miss Ware’s powerhouse vocals and how they work so wonderfully with The xx’s nocturne production.. Need an official version of this ASAP.

Canadian producer Jacques Greene follows up his collaboration with Tinashe by teaming up with another compelling vocalist – How To Dress Well. Tom Krell’s fragile voice bounces confidently around Greene’s R&B infused house production. Both seem to instinctively bring out the best in each other. ‘On Your Side’ is title track taken off Jacques Greene’s forthcoming EP released June 3rd.

To celebrate the release of his new Yūgen EP Koreless has uploaded his intricately simplistic ‘Last Remnants’ to give us a taster of what can be expected across the 5 new tracks he’s produced. The song somehow manages to be haunting but yet at the same time carries a warm texture that vividly captures your imagination. Beautiful.

Yūgen is out now via Young Turks.

After an relatively lengthy break away to focus on new material London pop duo 14th return with a sensational new cover track of Indo’s ‘Are You Sleeping?’ and Tina Moore’s ‘Never Gonna Let You Go’. Producer Tom Barber steers the production into an aphotic epicentre where singer Tracey Duodu has enough space unleash a stirring vocal performance – her voice has noticeably grown in power and technical prowess since the last time we heard from her.

14th are currently on tour supporting British producer Bonobo, go here to find out where you can catch them.

If any artist/band in the world want to know what a great marketing campaign looks like, they need look no further than Daft Punk and their Random Access Memories promo. Their comeback campaign has been airtight – from their ‘Get Lucky’ debut at Coachella, to the various promo trails, teasers and magazine spreads that have had virtually every music platform bussing e-nuts. Everything has been timed to perfection. Now ahead of it’s May 21st release, the French robots offer fans an advance stream of Random Access Memories in full via iTunes. To listen go here, click ‘view in iTunes’ and play via the cover artwork.

Following the release of her singles ‘Before I Ever Met You’ and ‘Fall Over’ earlier in the year, L.A based singer Banks returns with a serene new track called ‘Warm Water’. Helmed by British producer Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, the lustful ballad features an angelic sounding Banks serenading over a tropically soulful backdrop of twinkling synths and murky percussion. This is a beauty, definitely enjoying her progression here.

Katy B premiered her brand new single ‘What Love is Made Of’ on Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show earlier today; The track is taken off her much anticipated (much needed) sophomore album, the follow up to 2011′s On a Mission. ‘What Love is Made Of’ incorporates everything we love about Miss Brien – summery synths and a vibe made strictly for the dance and of course a typically badass vocal/hook. But really, what’s not to love about Katy B?

Not since A$AP Rocky has a rapper created such a simultaneous buzz on and offline like Chance the Rapper is generating right now. Currently courted by every major label in the U.S and hot off the heels of his recently released Acid Rap mixtape, the Chicago born emcee teams up producer Nosaj Thing for the latest installement of YoursTruly’s ‘Songs from Scratch’ series. ‘Paranoia’, which features in-part on Chance’s aforementioned mixtape (see: ‘Pusha Man’) marries Nosaj Thing’s off-kilter beat wizardry with the rappers multi-layered, multi-personality wordplay.

Our “mysterious duo/artist” list continues to grow with ASTR, an upcoming musical outfit from NYC who have just released their first music video for their superb future-pop single ‘Operate’. If Rihanna had an awkward, slightly edgier younger sister – her music would probably sound a little like this. The infused trap-snares and R&B-tinged vocals blend well into the songs pop-drama sensibility; And like all respectable pop gems it’s armed with a killer hook that’ll be bouncing around in your head for hours.
