An April night in...

While nights out have been getting more frequent, nights in have also been speeding up - subsequently home listening has been high on the agenda. In a fit of real laziness (posting videos of music is right lazy) here's a few tunes which have been keeping me up and locked in over the last few weeks. All of them big although whether collectively they'd provide a stonking enough rhythm for a Bar Mitzvah is a moot point...



Classic Sheffield business - Nesreen Shah vocalising on this cover of Cheryl Lynn's big disco number. A tough groove for a Steel City (Copyright Chinchilla Price).



New Matthew Herbert with the man singing for the first time. Apparently he had to get pissed to on claret to do it - result? He's got a beard, eye liner and singing about hitting the town with 'a little bag of sparks'. Saucey low key electronic business



Been hammering this for two weeks since I heard the 2 Bears rinsing it on their Ministry of Sound show. Hi-NRG, lovelorn, insanely camp, New Order sampled it - it tucks on the heart strings and gets you in the gut.



On hearing the name Yeasayer I imagined ATP-levels of noodling whimsy. Turns out this is amazing and a pretty positive vibe at its hub. Jesus. I'm turning into a fucking tree hugger. Maybe it's my time of the month...
