East India Youth: New Album 'Culture of Volume'

Over the last year, London-based East India Youth has combined strikingly original electronic pop music with euphoric, intense live performances, quickly becoming recognised as one of the most experimental and captivating artists around. His debut album 'TOTAL STRIFE FOREVER' (released on Stolen Recordings) featured in many 'Album of The Year' lists, and was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize.

His second album 'CULTURE OF VOLUME' will be released worldwide by XL Recordings on April 6th (7th in North America). Audiences can expect widescreen Pet Shop Boys-style pop gems next to minimalist, industrial techno, next to sci-fi Scott Walker style ballads next to ambient explorations, next to Krautrock-style synthesizer laments.

Two Fresh: TK Kayembe '12.01 AM' Remixes

Two Fresh x TK Kayembe have released their first collaboratory effort, '12:01 AM'. A compilation of remixes from our favorite 90's & early 2000's love songs, just in time to get down on this Valentines day.
As the first track drops, a remix of 90's super sts 'Oops' the nostalgia begins to set in. Two Fresh & TK Kayembe blend her vocals perfectly into a slew of electronic and hip hop beats. Brandy's 'I Wanna Be Down' remix eases in as the second track, slowly lifting the mood into a fiery future bass blend that makes us want to get up and move. On the third and fourth tracks Two Fresh and TK Kayembe bring us back to a slower tempo with remixes of Total's 'Trippin' and Cassie's 'Me and You'.

"These tracks are some of the first songs we collaborated on. We wanted to do something different than we typically do with our 'Two Fresh' and 'LION KNGS' projects and we felt the sound tied in perfectly with Valentine's Day. Here's 12:01am: Something lovely for your loved ones."
