FOREIGN BEGGARS – Seven Figure Swagger Dented With grime vocals bolted unceremoniously to beats that I can only assume were designed to blow holes in your sub-woofer, this is a classic British slice of rap/hip-hop with a refreshing electronic edge. If this isn’t already blowing away dance floors on underground club nights then there’s something [...]

“Time to Get Real” is an overpowering album, beginning with “Rainy Night” which holds that typical country feel with a striking harmonica introduction portraying a noticeable influence of Neil Young which becomes more apparent as you listen to the album.

HAUNTED STEREO – Cross The Sea We like Haunted Stereo here in the office, their dreamy alt.folk is always rather mesmerising and every listen seems to reveal a different angle to their tunes.

‘How to do Battle’ is a truly astonishing album and, pardon the cliché, completely blows you away. Senser has been around for over a decade and after listening to this album it’s not hard to see why.
