James Blake unveils his collaboration with Brian Eno off his sophomore album, “Overgrown”. “Digital Lion” is track built upon layers of sounds that swarm and trickle over one another in just under 5 mins, quite a cerebral and hypnotic tune from this duo.

Toro Y Moi is on one this year with his fantastic solo album “Anything In Return” and his House infused side-project, Les Sins. “Grind” is his follow-up release on Caribou’s label JIAOLONG that delves into light and jazzy house side of Mister Chaswick Bundick, a fine tune to remind us of the brighter and warmer times ahead.

Out of nowhere the prolific Bibio returns with a new track entitled “À tout à l’heure” off of the just announced “Silver Wilkinson” LP out May 14 on Warp Records. ” À tout à l’heure” is a lovely spring tinged tune that comes just in time as we all begin to thaw out. It is a return to his guitar based musical days but blurred with his “organic” electronic stylings. Download “À tout à l’heure” here.

The perfect balance of musicianship, songwriting and restraint.

Rustie strikes back with a double A-side single, Triadzz / Slasherr care of the Numbers Music crew which will be out March 18.

It will be a big year as Rustie’s massive sounds washes over us all. So be ready.

Skream goes full out smooth boogie funk on Duke Dumont’s massive pop dancefloor track “Need U”, a lovely and surprising touch of class.

Space Dimension Controller is set to unleash his brand of Galactic-Funk on March 4 via R&S Records entitled “Welcome to Mikrosector-50”. The title tune is a full on new jack swing funk taken into hyperspace, quite a refreshing take on the funk genre that often is looked upon as a novelty sound to touch upon.
