As if we needed any more reasons to love Natasha Khan aka Bat For Lashes but she’s just gone and given us a fair few more by way of her ridiculously good taste in music.
The mega babe recently presented her first ever radio show on BBC’s Radio 6 and man did she knock it out of the park! Her selections were a real mixed bag with tracks from Heart, RUN DMC, Talking Heads, SBTRKT, Prince, Outkast, Le Tigre, The Kinks and heaps more.
A while back UK act Darkstar released their debut album “North” on the super cool Hyperdub records (also home to the wonderful Kooly G). It was a bit of a gem generally and included a song that lots of people raved about broadly called “Aidys Girl Is A Computer”
People like to think that the old-school reggae dudes were all peace, love and rum punch, but the reality is they were grinding just as hard as today. Prince Buster was battling with guys like Duke Reid and Leslie Kong. Nobody could kill Buster’s sound.
When Ed Sheeran isn’t busy touring the world selling out huge venues and capturing the hearts of millions of girls with the old ‘just a guy & a guitar’ routine he probably doesn’t have much time on his hands to get his party on BUT we caught up with Ed on his recent Australian tour and managed to find out what he puts on the stereo when he gets the chance to let his famous ginger hair down.
Scottish trio Biffy Clyro recently took the time to hit us with their unorthodox jukebox selections. Drawing from inspirational material and some current faves they’ve put together a solid playlist of 15 tunes including mostly rock classics from the likes of G'N'Rs, Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Pantera but there’s even a little bit of Frank Ocean and Bjork in there for good measure.
Scottish quartet Django Django recently took over the 6 Mix on BBC for two hours and played a crazy eclectic mix of music including jams by Cat Stevens, The Clash, Major Lazer, Paul McCartney, Daft Punk, Nas, Grace Jones and many many more (42 to be exact)
