Musical Tastes

Well as the darker evenings start to draw in, and the leaves are going through their Autumnal change I find myself also changing my musical tastes, looking for those deeper, warmer moments... While tripping through the internet ether looking for reviews, sites, MP3 samplers, I, from time to time, find some absolute belters, below are a list of sites, tracks, albums and blogs that, in my humble opinion, you should take notice of...

Gayngs - Reylayted (iTunes Link)

Gayngs - Reylayted (Spotify Link)

A lush, deep, slightly trippy album that keeps my ears perky and heart warm... A really complete album, each track perfectly complementing each other...

If you are looking to discover lots of folk / acoustic music then may I suggest checking this site out...

Day Trotter

It has some pretty darn good sessions on there, all available for FREE download as 128's... Perfect for getting a taste of lots of new talent before parting your hard earned cash on their albums... Some really neat artwork throughout the site also...

For information on soul, hip hop, and R&B vibes head over to the incredible 'Put Me On It' blog it features news and reviews plus has a FREE download of lots of great music each month...

If you get chance, also check out the incredible Four Tet mix of The xx




This is truly wonderful, I really hope it gets a full release... While I am on the subject of Four Tet, Floating Points has turned in an epic mix of 'Sing', some good natured soul has added it to YouTube

NuNorthern Soul Podcast 24

Well it's as good a place to start as any... Two years into our podcasts we decide to launch the NuNorthern Soul blog... This will be a home to all news about NNS, plus a place to find information out about music that floats our boats, and dance-floors that keep us moving...

This podcast session see's a Autumnal move in the musical selections, deeper, warmer and a slightly tripped out start into some laid back disco vibes before going afro and finished off with a touch of uplifting gospel vibes...
