the difficult second album

Music heavy post tonight guys basically because 7PM - 9PM on a Friday night is my favourite time of the week as Annie Mac hits the airwaves on Radio One! With her show you know the weekend is here and a few days of drinking, dancing, lie-ins and irresponsible behaviour are ahead of you. Annie has a genuine interest in everything she plays and is always championing the latest tracks - meaning I could literally rhapsodise about her forever! But I won't. Or at least not too much.
From todays show my personal highlight had to be Fake Blood's remix of Noah and the Whale L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N. I have been in love with Noah and the Whale's latest track ever since I heard it on Zane Lowe's first play. Shamefully, the play count on my itunes exceeds 200! So when everybody at MODA in Leicester last night started tweeting about this Fake Blood remix that had just been dropped I got stupidly excited. I have loved Fake Blood ever since the early days when his identity was a secret and conspiracy theories were rife. So I did a little dance of joy when Annie said she was playing it on tonights show! It completely exceeded all my expectations. Definitely worth a play.
It was also great to hear Annie championing moombahton. It's going to be huge! Toddla T in for Benji B did an amazing moombahton special the other night which is well worth a listen. Moombahton is basically hiphop meets reggae meets dubstep meets electro. It's an interesting blend and well worth checking out. For a quick insight into this dance movement I suggest Time Takers 'She Blows.' This is the track Annie dropped tonight but unfortunately the quality on this rip isn't great, but it was the only link I could find. If anyone has a better quality version send it to me pleaseeee! One of my favourite moombahton remixes is A-Mac's mix of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's 'Heads Will Roll.' It's killer. And Dave Nada who started the Moombahton genre has a stellar remix of Sydney Samson's 'Riverside.'
I've gone a bit link happy in this post. Oops! I'm still feeling ill but since it's the weekend I'm going to treat myself to a mojito or two. Seems like a good idea now, but I will probably regret it tomorrow. Have a sexy Friday!
