Hottest Record - Justice - Civilisation

Zane Lowe | 20:07 UK time, Tuesday, 29 March 2011

justice

It's funny how when an artist like Justice returns with new music, that hype and excitement returns so quickly. Justice more than most of their peers in dance music seem to harness this energy really effectively, this boils down to the music and the way they bring it to us. In this case, a big corporate brand endorsement and unwavering support form the online community have made 'Civilization'; seem like the second coming. True it's big, bold and ambitious and I'm excited to hear more.

The wonderful Death Cab For Cutie return with the first single off their next album, 'Codes and Keys'. 'You Are A Tourist' fits the band's desciption for the new record, letting the guitars embelish and the mood lighten. It's a great return.

Hottest Record - Foo Fighters - Rope (Deadmau5 Remix)

Zane Lowe | 20:05 UK time, Wednesday, 23 March 2011

These days Deadmau5 picks his remix commissions sparingly. This on the other hand is a phone call the Mau5 took and ran with. A smattering of DFA 1979, a pinch of Friendly Fires & a whole heap on 'Mau5. LISTEN.

Zane Lowe | 20:59 UK time, Tuesday, 8 March 2011

broken bells

Hey, Huw here in for Zane. James Mercer from the Shins and Danger Mouse are back with a track that takes what we loved about their debut album of last year, turn the heat up a little and add a little funk. Bodes well for the new ep that drops end of March!

Hottest Record - Wild Beasts - Albatross

Zane Lowe | 15:26 UK time, Friday, 4 March 2011

Huw here again! Tonight's Hottest Record was the return of one of my favourite bands - Wild Beasts. After the Mercury nominated 'Two Dancers' they've made a new album out in the wilds of Wales and this first track sees the welcome return of their beautiful, haunting melodies. If you like slower, spaced out, melancholic music like The XX, James Blake and jamie Woon then dive head-first into the world of The Wild Beasts - you won't be dissapointed.

Hottest Record - Tune-Yards - Gangsta

Zane Lowe | 20:48 UK time, Wednesday, 2 March 2011

tune-yards

Hello, Huw here in for Zane. Sometimes, it takes an artist like Tune Yards, and a song like Gangsta, to remind you of the possibilities there are in music. California's Merril Garbus has a second album coming out through the legendary 4AD label in April, and we're reliably informed that this sounds like nothing on the rest of the album. A forward thinking musician not afraid to experiment, and thank goodness for that.

Hottest Record - The Strokes - You're So Right

Zane Lowe | 20:17 UK time, Tuesday, 1 March 2011

Hello, Huw here in for Zane. After the first new track from The Strokes, Under the Cover of Darkness landed and pleased all devoted followers, 'You're So Right' has arrived and has shocked! Forward thinking, experimental and not at all what we expected from them, personally I'm glad they've tried and succeeded with something different to what we're used from them. And I won't mention Radiohead
