Azari & III. Can be filed under many genres of dance renaissance, but you’d more than likely find them under H (for house – vintage and neo) and even R (for rave), so if those offshoots of dance sound like something you’d be interested in having a listen to, then pop into the filing cabinet that’s better known as the internet and check them out. You’d be forgiven for thinking Azari & III is made up of two DJs – it would make more sense, after all – but the group’s actually made up of four people. These are Alixander III (decks), Dinamo Azari (decks) and two vocalists, Fritz Helder and the fantastically named Starving Yet Full. So, the weird name finally makes sense. The two sound merchants play under those names, so why not name their band after them? Sort of makes sense.

InMe are one of, if not the most underappreciated band in Britain today. They’re consistently good live and haven’t put out a bad record to date. Quite frankly, they should have a far bigger following that they currently do. Having said that, I for one love the fact they still play in small and intimate clubs and venues. If they’re not putting on an epic show somewhere, then they’re busy writing or working on their side-projects.

Phantogram are an electro duo, consisting of Joshua Carter and Sarah Barthel, and produce what they call “beat influenced indie pop”. And, in all fairness, it’s an accurate and fair description of their brand new EP, ‘Nightlife’.

Sleigh Bells have described their new album as “effortlessly robust and heavier than any of the band’s previous output… the sonic equivalent of a beautiful shotgun to the head”. Honestly, this intrigued me. The Brooklyn based duo have re-entered the UK airspace with the follow-up, balls out rock/pop album, ‘Reign Of Terror’.

Following on from the popularity of previous release, the ‘Give Up’ EP, London based hardcore outfit Last Witness have released their second LP; ‘Mourning After’. Despite being named by some as a ‘hype band’ for their merchandise being seen all over the UK hardcore scene, Last Witness have stepped up and delivered an extremely powerful album here.
