New SMD, Temper Trap & Kid British

July 4th, 2009 | 1 Comment | By George

Quite a bit of news for you today so I’ll start with that. Also apologies I didn’t post yesterday, I mistimed it badly. Anyway I forgot to mention the other day that the Arctic Monkeys release their new single, “Crying Lightning” – on Monday. I may grab myself a copy off iTunes but I’m not sure. I’ve seen some live performances of the song and I’m not overly convinced. If you like their more grown up rock sound, I think it’ll be something you enjoy.

Also, there’s a very good radio rip of Dizzee Rascal’s “Holiday” floating around. By that I mean no DJ, but it abruptly starts and finishes and is nearly a minute longer. Anyway I said I wouldn’t post it because it sounds like the actual single, however if you’re desperate I’m sure you can search for it. The song is out on 31st August – Great timing for a summer song…

First song today is a remix of Simian Mobile Disco’s upcoming single “Cruel Intentions.” At this point you’re probably trying to remember what song Cruel Intentions is, however it seems it hasn’t been played yet, let alone released. It’s the one that’s going to feature Beth Ditto though. So really, this is your first chance to hear the song but with a more dubstep feel. It’s quite good, however I don’t really have anything to compare it to. So, yer.. check it out. Props – iamlordofthebus

We were asked to remove the SMD track as apparently Beth Ditto’s label don’t want it out until next year (!?) – Even more confusing is that it has some plays on last.fm. O well

Also around is a great remix of The Temper Trap’s “Sweet Disposition” by Axwell and Dirty South. I really love this, it’s long and there arn’t stages where you get bored like with some remixes. I love Axwell’s synths throughout, even if they are familiar in places with “In The Air.” This could go down as one of many favourite remixes of 2009 so far. Very nice, check it out below.

Last song is a month old or so but I missed it. One of my favourite bands, Kid British, have released a new song called “Our House (Is Dadless).” It samples the classic “Our House” track by madness and features some good rapping from the members. I really like it, check it out below.
