Friday Night Highlights: Going Solo this week.

This week I'm going solo and bringing you some awesome new music and an array of cool new electro mixes. I have been digging Fake Blood mixes this week and will be bringing you a couple of Fake Blood tracks tonight as well as more from Fenech Soler, this week remixing Marina and The Diamonds and also I have 2 new mixes from a man called Grum.

First off though a small message.

Oe Est Le Swimming Pool

Surprised was an understatement, when I heard that lead singer of the band ‘Ou est le Swimming Pool’, Charles Haddon, took his life last week. It happened after the band performed at Belgium’s Pukkelpop festival. The remaining members of the band have said that their new album, ‘LPChrist Died for Our Synths’ will stil be released in October. I had the pleasure of seeing these guys perform at Board-Masters this year and was really impressed with what I heard. Tonight I will kick off the show with their single, “Dance The Way I Feel”. My best wishes go out to the band, the family, the fans, and all those close to them.

Record of the week

Funeral Party – Just because

Hot off the back of their debut single ‘New York Moves to the sound of LA’.. East Los Angeles 5 Piece ‘Funeral Party’ will release their second single ‘Just Because’ on Monday. This is the second track that they have taken from their debut album shockingly named ‘Funeral Party’, whichj is due out next month.

Video of the Week

Taylor Momsen probably was recently reported dissing Rihanna in Spin a few weeks back. “People think pop is rock, and the lines are getting blurred,” she said. “Now Rihanna’s wearing fucking leather jackets, and it’s really annoying.” Well now to prove she actually thinks Rihanna is “very talented,” Little J and a member of her band the Pretty Reckless stopped by Radio 1’s Live Lounge to perform an acoustic mashup of the xx’s “Islands” and Eminem & Rihanna’s “Love The Way You Lie.” Live Mash-Ups are something that I am always a fan of…
