Rocket Juice & The Moon - Dam(n) (Feat. Erykah Badu & M.anifest) x Poison (Feat. Damon Albarn)

Two of my favourite tracks from Rocket Juice & The Moon's highly anticipated self-titled debut album, which was released this week on Honest Jon's. For those that don't know, this project is  a funk super group, which formed in 2008, and consists of Damon Albarn (Guitar, Keys) of Blur & Gorillaz, Flea (Bass) of Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Tony Allen (drums, percussion). Amazingly diverse and unique music - get your copy HERE.

Ruth Anne Cunningham - All You Need Is Love (Acoustic)

After bringing you a live rip of Avicii dropping his version at Ultra this weekend, here is an acoustic version of Ruth Anne Cunningham's original acoustic version. This 23 year-old Dublin-born singer/songwriter has been around for quite some time now, co-writing hits such as 'Too Little Too Late' with JoJo and 'Turn It Up' with Pixie Lott, but 2012 is definitely the year when she will make her mark as a solo artist. This could be a hit single as it is, but the Avicii version is no doubt going to set the world alight.

Yasmin - Suicide

After releasing three singles on Ministry of Sound over the past 12 months, DJ turned singer/songwriter Yasmin is still currently working on her debut album, which has recently changed direction slightly. This track right here is an acoustic version of a song Yasmin penned a while ago, which leaked last night on YouTube - this may or may not make the LP, but Yasmin said that it's definitely one of the favourite songs she's ever written, and I can see why. Deep lyrics, and a song that shows a completely different side to the usually upbeat tracks that we have come to expect.

The Thirst - There She Goes (Video)

Here is the video for the new single from London-based group The Thirst. You only need to know that they’ve already toured with The Rolling Stones & The Sex Pistols, opened up for The Libertines and shared stages with grime legends like Kano & Wiley, to understand that they've got a ridiculous amount of talent, and then some. Funky, soulful and refreshing.

Yasmin - Finally (Kings Of Tomorrow Cover)

23 year old singer/songwriter/DJ Yasmin Shahmir is always one to think outside of the box, and this stripped back cover of 'Finally' by Kings Of Tomorrow is just another example of that. The original was released back in 2000 and for me is one of the greatest House tracks of all-time, but the young Scot showcases her extremely pure vocals, with just a piano and a guitar for company. Free download and a little message after the jump - amazing.
