Having been introduced to Azari & III, we have to say, that they’re our favorite flavour of acid. What trippy visuals nahh?
Their latest self titled album has a couple of trippy A tracks - especially liking Manic
Desiderata by Max Ehrmann
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.
Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
Still listening to Frankie Rose
A very cool remix called TapTronic of the popular, “Crave You” by Flight Facilities ft. Gisele.
This is Lykke Li’s contribution to Swedish label, “Ingrid” that has compiled offering from various Swedish artists including Miike Snow and Peter Bjorn and John - “Come Near” is classic, moody, Lykke Li.

A star in the making Mr. Little Jeans a.k.a. Monica Birkenes is Norwegian, of course. We have an affinity for all Scandanavian offerings as we always find them to be vibrant, juicy and so nostalgic. More love to follow this lady from us - we’ll keep you posted. Share it if you dig it - that’s the motto!
We inherently find Bon Iver, Florence and the Machine, Feist and Mumford & Sons very heartfelt because underneath the layers of hip hop, metal and punk, we are folksy farmers. I mean seriously, most of our civilized ancestors became farmers! Folk is in our blood - and so is caffeine, heroin or cocaine: depending on your lifestyle. Musically, we’re on this non-organic binge of electronic synths and the like which is why a band like All We Are is so encompassing of what we inherently like.
Beautiful video, compelling lyrics, All We Are are due to release their EP The Hunt TOMORROW which is excellent news. But we have located some of the other tracks from said EP namely, Cardhouse, Red Sky and Satellite
An insanely profound and sensual track that just keeps building with layers and layers - and the video! Mon Dieu, Jeff Vash. No more info - just listen the whole track through. WOMP WOMP
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

Dubai’s Sneaker Summit was considered to be a big success! Here are some tight photos courtesy of Alistair Jameson of Spiky Penguin. Go to our Facebook wall to see more!
Geordie and Evan Gordon of Canada give us good clean fun teaser track for their forthcoming EP, “Ragged Gold”. Reminiscent of Hot Chip, Passion Pit and Metronomy without the ear jarring filler synths. Great lyrics, sexy whiny voice = win. I can never get enough of tracks like this because they’re so cheeky and great music to be wasted to - I have a drunk taxi ride playlist on my iPod…would you like to hear it sometime?
Foreign Language - Flight Facilities ft. Jess
Sorry, but if you know the Raizuli duo, you’ll know who’s posting this and why (she) loves it. Can’t help but do the ambient disco thing! DISCLAIMER: only for those who can handle the sugary disco/pop vibe!
Flight Facilities are behind the chillin track, “Crave You”, and are an Australian based production duo who combine pop, disco, dancefloor and baaaassss.
