MUSIC: Lulu James - Step By Step

This is special. Prepare to hear this all summer long - and I'm expecting some killer remixes. Tagged as '21st Century Soul', this is a perfect follow up to Lulu's debut single Closer from earlier this year. It builds into a wonderfully icy house track in the last two minutes. Give it a listen above!

You can see Lulu James at Lovebox Festival this July!

EVENTS: Lovebox Announcement - KELIS

Just announced! Kelis and Lianne La Havas will play on the Sunday of Lovebox, 21st July!

I saw Kelis on the Sunday last year, and although she was 30 mins late, she was fucking incredible - and debuted Distance. I'm hoping we'll have another single out in time following on from Jerk Ribs (a whole album is 1 wish too far).

MUSIC: Annie Mac's Sunshine Mix II

Annie Mac has just dropped her new Sunshine Mix Vol II. If you didn't listen to Vol I last year, do it here. It's over an hour of pure summer tunes, perfect for having a beer and BBQ to! It's also available for a free download via THIS.

Featuring tracks from Cyril Hahn, Duke Dumont, Rudimental, Disclosure, MNEK and more, she kills it again. Make sure you catch her at Lovebox this year, where she's hosting her own stage: AMP; Annie Mac Presents.

EVENTS: LIL KIM ANNOUNCED AT LOVEBOX

THE LIL' KIM has joined the Sunday lineup to this year's Lovebox festival! I cannot wait for this! I'm hoping she throws Azealia some shade who'll be headlining on the Saturday. Disco veterans Horse Meat Disco also join the lineup. I'm hoping they'll be playing in the NYC Downlow tent again!

MUSIC: Miss Kittin - What To Wear

New track and video from Miss Kittin. It's hauntingly hypnotic, and the video only adds to the trance.

You can catch Miss Kittin at Lovebox this year!
