Hottest Record - Bjork - Crystalline

Zane Lowe | 19:29 UK time, Thursday, 30 June 2011

Bjork

All part of the multi media release - Biophilia. Bjork keeps it future beats for tonight's HR Crystalline. Produced by 16bit it's the chattering beats and out pouring of emotion that makes her so unique. It finishes with 48 seconds of pure fire. LISTEN.

Zane Lowe | 19:51 UK time, Wednesday, 29 June 2011

'Straight fire' is how rap legend D Double E describes his latest tune featuring Dizzee Rascal. And that description from one of my favourite beats of the year completely owned by D and Diz who sound 100% Live on this record.

Anyone expecting a return to Duck Sauce's new disco template will be, hopefully, pleasantly surprised by tonight's Hottest Record 'Big Bad Wolf'. It has a pulsating depth and peak set sensibility that will see it take its place amongst the anthems in years to come.

rapture

Big Chicago house piano vibe with tonight's Hottest Record as The Rapture return to DFA Records and the sound we know them for. 'How Deep Is Your Love' is another brilliant balance between radio and the club which is what The Rapture do best.

kids in glass houses

KIGHs caused a massive Twitter buzz today by announcing tonight's Hottest Record. Fans will be reassured by it's 'driving rock power' whilst maintaining it's form in the song-writing department. Aled described the new album, albeit with persuasion, as a game-changer. One song is called 'The Florist' and sounds like Billy Joel apparently... Changing the game.

Hottest Record - Tribes - Sappho

Zane Lowe | 19:20 UK time, Thursday, 16 June 2011

tribes

A pinch of glam in tonight's Hottest Record from Tribes who site T-Rex, and The Rolling Stones and primary influences on their forth-coming material. This one has Camden written all over it and will provide a building block in the new foundation on Brit-Rock.

Hottest Record - The Kooks - The Saboteur

Zane Lowe | 20:04 UK time, Monday, 13 June 2011

kooks

Slightly confusing set of events tonight but all very exciting. First, Luke from The Kooks brought in their new record which isn't on their new album. Second he was kind enough to play us a new song which isn't finished yet. Also not on the new album. Very modern. Both tunes brilliant, new album and live dates coming soon.

Hottest Record - Wretch 32 - Don't Go

Zane Lowe | 19:15 UK time, Thursday, 9 June 2011

Wretch 32 showing a softer side tonight. Tonight's Hottest Record is emo-rap in the grand tradition of Eminem, LL Cool J, Mike Skinner and the other great MCs unafraid to show weakness in a genre primarily built on strength. It shows confidence in song-craft too.

Hottest Record - Magnetic Man - Anthemic Feat. P Money

Zane Lowe | 16:13 UK time, Tuesday, 7 June 2011

In the hallowed halls of Salford ´óÏó´«Ã½ centre we welcomed Nero to perform with the Philharmonic orchestra. A dubstep symphony to push the boundaries of sound. We needed a suitable Hottest Record to marry that coming together and nobody better to do that than Skream, Benga & Artwork. Taking another step in dub to deliver a flawless piece of music, add to that the talents of new rap star P Money and you have yourself a hit. LISTEN.

New artists take note. Ben Howard has not only made another brilliant new song called 'The Wolves' but he's also cracked the 'lifestyle' tour circuit. In Udder words, if it's an open field near or in fact on a beach then he'll be there this summer. Ponder that why don't ya!
