Hottest Record - Rita Ora - R.I.P. (feat. Tinie Tempah)

Studio Sam | 19:47 UK time, Wednesday, 29 February 2012

Rita Ora

Hey it's Huw in for Zane. Big Hottest Record tonight from Rita Ora. She sings on DJ Fresh's 'Hot RIght Now', but is ready to take on the world with her own music. Signed to Roc Nation by Jay Z, this monster features Tinie Tempah, is produced by Chase & Status and might actually be too big for your computer speakers.

Hottest Record - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Shoot A Hole Into The Sun

Zane Lowe | 21:56 UK time, Tuesday, 28 February 2012

New music tonight in the Hottest Record department from Noel Gallagher's promised Amorphous Androgynous project. No surprises here, in that the whole thing is a big surprise for faithful fans of Noel's classic songwriting. But as far as this project is concerned, it's exactly what we expected and it's good.

Hottest Record - Plan B - iLL Manors

Zane Lowe | 19:25 UK time, Monday, 27 February 2012

Plan B

By his own admission Plan B's new album was always going to be a vastly different sounding record to Strictland Banks. Early supporters welcomed this news knowing full well that Plan B, the rapper, would take his new found success and use it to spit that fire again. And that is exactly what he has done here. This is one of the finest records of the year so far. Full of urgency and suspense, it's nail biting brilliance. So good in fact, that fans of Strictand Banks will have to follow him down this tougher road.

Hottest Record - Benga - I Will Never Change

Zane Lowe | 20:59 UK time, Thursday, 23 February 2012

Benga

From his forthcoming new album in August entitled "Chapter 2", Benga gets it absolutely perfect with tonight's Hottest Record "I Will Never Change". As the title suggests, this is not a departure, but don't get me wrong, it is certainly a progression.

Hottest Record - Gorillaz - DoYaThing (feat. Andre 3000 and James Murphy)

Zane Lowe | 19:59 UK time, Wednesday, 22 February 2012

Gorillaz

What a crazy week for Damon Albarn. Entering the Brits hall of fame with his friends in blur, and returning with Gorillaz with a few special guests along for the ride. Tonight's Hottest Record brings the wonky pop that Gorillaz specialise in to the table along wth James Murphy's immediatley recongnisable feel but really the star of the show is Andre 3000 whose stream of consciousness only strengthens the world's need for a new Outkast album.

Hottest Record - The Enemy - Gimme A Sign

Zane Lowe | 20:39 UK time, Tuesday, 21 February 2012

The Enemy return with their first new material since 2009's Music For The People. With a fanbase as hungry for new material as theirs it would have been easy for the band to rest on their laurels. Instead they've gone in to the studio with Joby from The Bronx who's inspired the band to climb to another level of energy and conviction with this, Give Me A Sign.

Hottest Record - Santigold - Disparate Youth

Zane Lowe | 20:17 UK time, Monday, 20 February 2012

Santigold

It's been a while since we had a new album from Santigold, but this is worth the wait. Judging from tonight's Hottest Record it's well worth the wait. It's described by her as an album based on her own sense of make-believe made reality: no doubt with the heavy grooves we've come to expect from her. Check out Disparate Youth.

Hottest Record - Theme Park - Two Hours

Zane Lowe | 19:04 UK time, Thursday, 16 February 2012



Hey it's Huw in for Zane tonight. Your Hottest Record comes from the brilliant Theme Park. The young London band have toured with Bombay Bicycle Club already and are off out on their own tour soon. Love this youthful, energetic burst of guitar pop. Ge involved. Theme Park.

Hottest Record - The Cribs - Chi-Town

Zane Lowe | 19:30 UK time, Tuesday, 14 February 2012

Even with Steve Albini recording there's no nonsense in this 3mins 16 second return, filled wth feedback and punk overtones, The Cribs cannot shake their natural born ability to write pop songs. One of the world's most endeering rock bands is back.

Hottest Record - The Mars Volta - The Malkin Jewel

Zane Lowe | 19:59 UK time, Monday, 13 February 2012

marsvolta

Well worth the wait and it's been quite a wait for The Mars Volta to return. But here they are with a brand new Hottest Record called 'The Malkin Jewel' which delivers on feel in a way we've never really experienced with TMV before and that's saying something. New album and tour dates this year and listen again to tonight's show for bonus info on the much anticipated At The Drive reunion

Hottest Record - Here We Go Magic - Make Up Your Mind

Zane Lowe | 19:36 UK time, Thursday, 9 February 2012

herewegomagic

For some tonight, a whole world of new music was opened up by the creators of the Hottest Record from Here We Go Magic. This hypnotic groove is broken sporadically by some expansive syntsh and the overall result is inspiring. This is the kind of song that helps form bands. See Talking Heads for more.

Hottest Record - Sway - Level Up

Zane Lowe | 19:25 UK time, Wednesday, 8 February 2012

Sway

Sway has always projected a positive approach to his music even when he''s been documenting a harsh reality. So tonight's Hottest Record, 'Level Up', sounds extra special in the wake of some genuine success with his top 20 single 'Still Speeding' last Christmas. Sway is the genuine article, a musician and artist who knows where he needs to go and will work as hard as he has to to get there. With that equation, a result is never far away. It's simple mathematics.

Hottest Record - Lostprophets - Bring 'Em Down

Zane Lowe | 19:25 UK time, Monday, 6 February 2012

The official first single from their forth-coming album 'Weapons' is called Bring Em' Down', and as Lostprophetss prepare for another album cycle and world tour, at least the long road begins on sunnier shores with an up-coming Australian tour. Festivals TBC, but this band work hard so expect to see them performing in a town near you soon.

Hottest Record - Ben Howard - Oats In The Water

Zane Lowe | 18:02 UK time, Wednesday, 1 February 2012

So excited for this brand new music from Ben Howard and band that we broke our own 8pm embargo for our Maida Vale session to make 'Oats In The Water' tonight's Hottest Record. Inspired by a recent holiday in Morocco, this shows that not only has Ben Howard grown as a writer since he released his debut album but he is a writer with so much more to offer. Exciting times ahead.
