[LISTEN] Nimmo - Kamikaze (MØ Cover)

Nimmo have revealed their very own version of MØ's "Kamikaze", the band said - "After coming home from such an amazing tour with with Years and Years and MØ we cured our post- tour blues by getting nostalgic and covering MØ’s track ‘Kamikaze’."

You can listen to their tropically tinged cover below.

Your Non-Christmas Song Christmas Playlist

Yes, we know. This playlist has a pretty weird title. So let me explain:
If you want to get in the mood for Christmas, but can't stand the thought of listening to the criminally-overplayed classic Christmas songs, we may just have the thing for you:

A playlist consisting of songs, which weren't ever written as Christmas songs, but have an incredibly christmasy vibe. You know what we mean!

MØ - Glass
If that intro doesn't get you in the Christmas mood, nothing will!



Vampire Weekend - Horchata
"In December…" - also includes bells

Ed Hardcourt- Black Dress

 Death Cab For Cutie - Soul Meets Body
Perfectly captures the Christmas vibe for us

Bloc Party - Blue Light
Perhaps also red, green and white lights, but hey! Lights just have Christmas written all over them!



We hope that you've now got some songs to get you ready for Christmas without having to listen to Wham! Merry Christmas!

[LISTEN] MØ - Kamikaze

There's no denying it, MØ's career has had a massive boost thanks to "Lean On", and it looks like she's wanting to prove doubters wrong with a stunning track of her own in the shape of "Kamikaze". After seeing her perform at Glastonbury back in 2014 I knew she'd get big, and you can hear the proof of it here!

MØ is set to play XOYO on the 28th of October, if you can't get tickets you can listen to her track below.

Saint Raymond covers "Lean On" by Major Lazer, DJ Snake & MØ

Last week Saint Raymond headlined the Dot to Dot festival in Manchester, Bristol and Nottingham, and now he's unveiled a cracking cover of "Lean On", if anything acting as a tease for his début album "Young Blood" which is out June 29th.

MØ features on Major Lazer and DJ Snake's new track "Lean On"

In 2009 when Major Lazer first launched, Diplo was known as the globetrotting underground dance music champion and electronic music - and now he's a big internet superstar! The track brings his signature genre bending sound that seamlessly merges his various musical influences, only enhancing internet it-girl and the next pop star on the rise, MØ.

True to the sounds of the past releases, this Major Lazer and DJ Snake collaboration is both an iconic dance floor anthem and a power pop song that sits just as comfortably in the Top 40 world as it does in the dancehall clubs of Jamaica.

Watch the lyric video below and stay tuned for more news soon on what's to come.

MØ reveals new song "New Year's Eve"

MØ has revealed a song for New Years Eve, a song that can only really be played once a year, without you feeling odd, but it's another teaser for fans ahead of her after her debut album was released earlier on in the year. It certainly is a far cry from her LP, but showcases her gentler side.

10 Acts We're Excited To See At Reading 2014

We love the Reading Festival, and since we first went there we believe that this is one of the strongest line-ups in recent years! So we've got TEN of the best acts you just have to watch over the three days in late August.

Darlia

The band have had a tremendous start to the year with BBC Radio 1, NME and XFM picking up on them early on. After a tremendous set at Glastonbury where Nathan completely ruined his guitar by smashing it like an axe be sure to expect an explosive set from the trio!





Sivu

Cambridgeshire resident James Page is certainly a favourite of ours, a hard-worker who is reaping the rewards of persistence. With a tour supporting Marika Hackman already sorted he will be wowing the crowd in the Festival Republic tent, with vocals like his you have to see him before he gets massive!




Arctic Monkeys

The Monkeys will be headlining Reading the festival once again, first in 2009 in support of their album "Humbug", but this time round they're even bigger and after playing two massive shows at Finsbury Park you should expect big hits, big quiffs and even bigger sing-a-longs!




The Neighbourhood

Having graced the smaller venues of London and the rest of the UK back in 2012 and in 2013, the Californian band are set to play their first Reading Festival and we can't help but be excited! Their album "I Love You" came out in 2013 and expect to see them play their massive summer anthems "Sweater Weather" and "Female Robbery" in a field near you!




Marika Hackman 

Marika is on the same label as The 1975 and Little Comets, but that's where the comparisons to said bands end, her stunning vocals and stage presence have got her adoring fans all over the world and 2014 sees her play her first set at Reading Festival, expect some heart-warming vocals and silky smooth keys!




Wolf Alice

Having achieved a strong fan-base off the back of a folky EP the band then supported Peace in 2012 as they started to take shape, two EP's later and we see them signed to Dirty Hit with an album in the pipeline, with fellow label mates being played in the charts expect some anthematic choruses from Ellie and co!




Don Broco

Having played back in 2012 and 2013 there's no wonder why the boys are back in 2014. Their live shows are well known to be one of the best around and the dance to their song "Priorities" that they do always puts a smile upon the face of anyone in the crowd!




Jungle

A band that around three months ago played behind a wash of lights, with no sight of a band-member have since then gone on to perform LIVE on American television and perform at Glastonbury and a whole host of other festivals. But their set at Reading 2014 we're looking forwards to as we know it'll make the tent move and groove! Watch them perform below and thank me after!




The Wytches

A band that has released material on Luv Luv Luv's sister label Hate Hate Hate, their now on Heavenly Recordings and will be performing tracks from their forthcoming album. Their tight live performances have got them rave reviews from fans and critics. With their Reading festival appearance coming up this'll be a band you have to see early on in the day!




MØ

She's played the 'new music' festivals this year, SXSW in Austin, Texas, USA and The Great Escape in Brighton but now is the step-up for the Swedish powerhouse singstress. And expect a cover of a Spice Girls song in the set too, trust me, it's actually one of the best songs of her set!

Daily Download... MØ - Say You'll Be There

As we featured this track earlier on in the week we think it deserves one more plug! Anyone who was a child in the 1990's would know who the Spice Girls were, essentially they were the female pop group who took over the UK and Europe. And today MØ has covered their track "Say You'll Be There".

Her vocals really come to life here, scroll on down to check it out! Her début album "No Mythologies To Follow" is out on the 10th March 2014.
