There’s nothing like a little drop of escapism to jog one out of work mode and into playtime. Tonight we’re doing the triple – heading over to The Book Club for Hold Still (Tim Filthy Dukes), then Counter Culture to see Stopmakingme, Punks Jump Up, Lee Mortimer and Justin Robertson, and over at Village Underground Kitsune have invited Rory Phillips, Jamaica, Classixx, Is Tropical and The Twelves to their party at Village Underground. If you don’t have tickets to this beware – they’ve only got limited numbers on the door. Down South Caribou and Four Tet are playing at the Coronet and Ramadanman is at Corsica Studios.

Tomorrow it’s The C90s Shine A Light single launch at the Lock Tavern, 20:20 Soundsystem are at Fabric, Doldrums brings Joy Orbison to Plan B, and Bugged Out/Greco Roman at XOYO sees Drop The Lime take to the decks.

Here are a few little treats from the digital world this week, notably some boogie funk from Kraak & Smaak. Yes, it’s true, listen for yourselves:

Some very nice little releases next week: Tony Senghore‘s new EP Score is out Monday 22nd, as is Stopmakingme’s Wrapped in Plastic on Kill Em All.

Also well worth a listen: Eskimo Twins on the remix of Everything Everything. Two names we always like to hear, and when you mix them together you get:
Everything Everything – Photoshop Handsome (Eskimo Twins Remix) by Eskimo Twins
