One of Electronic musics most distinctive producers, Shlohmo, releases a stylistic new video for ‘The Way U Do’ – the latest single off his Vacation EP.

Beyonce shares some behind the scenes footage of her preparing / rehearsing for her upcoming Revel shows in Atlantic City. The concerts will be the singers first since giving birth to daughter Blu Ivy back in January. Clearly now back in shape and hungry as ever, we once again get to see the work ethic that goes into being “Beyonce”. Best in the game, still.

We have been happily tracking Lianne La Havas  progression since last year, when she was a relevantly unknown songbird.

Now with a tour under her belt, a steady track of  releases and (un)official remixes  following filling up the blogosphere, La Havas is becoming one of the UK strongest female contenders for successes of 2012.

We were luckily enough to hear her debut album Is Your Love Big Enough last week at a exclusive playback. The album is filled with sensual, sassy soul packed pop music and bringing something a little different to the increasingly generic UK charts. This is the next single before the album drops 9th July.

Oh gosh.

This morning we helped wipe the sleep from your eyes by sharing D’Angelo’s interview with GQ – his first in years. Well if that got you excited, this will surely demand a change of undies. Not only did D sit down for an in-depth interview with the magazine and took part in a new photoshoot – he also performed a lil’ sumthin’ sumthin’ for them – but because he’s the messiah when he performs a lil’ sumthin’ sumthin’, generally it’s about 10 million light years better than most other human musicians.

Watch D’Angelo and his guitar perform a cover version of Funkadelic’s ‘Soul Mate’… Then scream and faint.

Update: Read D’s full interview with GQ – here. A truly fascinating read.

Animalistic fantasy creatures, a young hero boy, a white city above the clouds, giants and a flying pirate ship make up the visuals of Yoann Lemoine aka Woodkid’s new video. Using a very similar style of direction to his ‘Iron’ video, the new vid is another look into this talented producer/director’s vision. ‘Run Boy Run’ is taken off his new EP of the same name – out now.

Benga delivers another impressive video, this time taking to the sky for a little parachute dive. ‘Icon’ comes off his new album Chapter 2, due out August 27th.

Here is the new single from Bristol based quartet Seasfire. Set for a July 9th release I have fallen in love with this low-fi, deeply atmospheric number. Half expecting this to drop into some poor dubstep-esque beat trap, I was pleasantly suprised with it’s direction. The juxtaposition between heavy fuzz and the uplifting keys with the right dose of levelled distortion. Let us not also bypass the serious serious groove underwriting the whole thing. The video follows in the same black and white vein as their debut single Falling. Gutted I missed them over the Great Escape weekender. Expect major movements from this lot
