Shakka - Say Nada (1Xtra Live Lounge)







Duke Dumont returns to the Live Lounge as part of More Music Month on Radio 1 and is joined by Moko for an incredible cover of Ten Wall's 'Walking With Elephants' and Massive Attack's 'Unfinished Sympthay'. Everything from the arrangement to the vocal on this is perfection, too sick.
As part of More Music Month on Radio 1, Sam Smith drops into the Live Lounge to perform a cover of Tracy Chapman's classic 'Fast Car'. Words fail me with this man.
Bipolar Sunshine makes his Live Lounge debut and takes on A$AP Rocky's 'Long Live A$AP' as his mystery cover. This shouldn't work, but it does.
It's not very often I post 2 Live Lounge sessions in one day, let alone one after the other, but Banks' acoustic renditions of her own single 'Brain' and Aaliyah's 'Are You That Somebody' are quite simply too good to leave out. Stunning.
Meridian Dan, Bossman Birdie & JME join Trevor Nelson in the 1Xtra Live Lounge for a live performance of their new single 'German Whip' and this incredible cover of The Streets' classic 'Blinded By The Lights'. I've never been a huge grime fan, but this is wicked.
Duke Dumont joined Fearne Cotton in the Radio 1 Live Lounge yesterday to perform new single 'I Got U' & a very special mystery cover. Fusing together Route 94′s 'My Love' with Kiesza’s 'Hideaway' Duke was joined by vocalists Kellie Leigh and Moni Tivony, as they performed over a beat lifted from the producer's 2013 remix of HAIM’s 'Falling', in one of the best Live Lounge performances I've heard in a long while. Further proof that being a dance act doesn't mean your live performances have to be confined to DJ sets.
Rising star George Ezra stops by the Radio 1 Live Lounge and performs an acoustic version of One Republic's 'Counting Stars' as his mystery cover.
