Paije Richardson - Just Like Yesterday

Following his 5 minutes of fame on X Factor 2010, Paije Richardson has been hard at work on his forthcoming debut album over the past 12 months, and has just released the lead single from it, entitled 'Just Like Yesterday'. The track has a very Northern Soul feel to it, and will be released later this year on Pledge Music, with production being handled by Jim & Rob Homes. This is very sick.

Ayah & Slakah The Beatchild - Keep Up

Described as 'dancefloor soul', 'Keep Up' is the new track from long-term collaborators Ayah & Slakah The Beatchild. As they quite rightly explain: "When we can, we love giving music away for free simply for the pure love and desire to spread real music, uninfluenced by a label, industry or pop culture, but if you like this one, please purchase it, thank you. xo – us". Slakah is a genius.

George Benson - The World Is A Ghetto (suonho Re-Edit) 

Taken from his forthcoming EP on GAMM, here is Italian producer suonho's wonderful edit of George Benson's classic 'The World Is A Ghetto'. The EP will feature edits of both versions - this one of George Benson's cover from 1977 (112 BPM) and the original from War in 1972 (100 BPM). Bloody amazing.

Laura Sheeran - Lonesome Soldier

'Lonesome Soldier' is my favourite track from Laura Sheeran's sophmore album 'What The World Knows', which was indepentantly released yesterday. Yes, Laura is the cousin of record-breaking singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran, but her music incomparable - from the outset, this project is incredibly dark, mysterious and enchanting, whilst somehow being uplifting at the same time. Granted this won't be for everyone, but if you go into it with an open mind, you could well end surprising yourself - buy HERE.

Adele set to release new single in 2012

Following a vow to take a break ("fuck off", in her words) from music for 5 years after the unprecidented success of her sophmore album '21', Adele has this week said on French Radio that a new single will be here before the end of 2012, and that a new album should hopefully be hitting the shelves in 2013.
