UK’s funk heavyweight ARP 101 has just released his latest “U/Groove” EP on Eglo Records and it’s a banger! This EP has a third track on there called “True” that I wanted you to hear. Some straight sick modern funk jams on this baby with those distinctive vocoder melodies. London is putting modern funk on the map with this release fo sho! Make sure you buy this one at your local vinyl spot or order it HERE via Rush Hour.

In preparation for the launch of the forthcoming Eglo website, the guys took to the streets to record a little video for my favorite song from Fatima…“Mind”, taken from her “Follow You” EP produced entirely by Floating Points. It’s all luv innit!
So it’s been a while, but last month the Letherette‘s duo from the UK dropped their new “Letherette” EP 2 on Ho_tep. It’s been out for a minute, but no reason not to share it with those that missed it. Really liking the sound of “Bruse” with it’s heavy bass. Go get it at or for you vinyl freaks head over to Boomkat.

Been waiting for this for a while now, but it’s finally out. Picked up my copy at Rush Hour yesterday and I can only urge you to get the new Floating Points 12″ on Eglo asap. This one song “Marilyn” had me trippin’ out for weeks and “Faruxz” is also pretty proper b-side if you ask me. Get your vinyl at Rush Hour now and support good music!

Earlier this week we received an early promo copy of Fatima‘s upcoming “Follow You” EP and we can tell you it’s amazing. This one’s entirely produced by Floating Points and just sounds bananas. Perhaps you’ve heard the mesmerizing “Mind” before on the radio, but I bet you guys haven’t heard “Red Light” yet. The homies from Eglo uploaded this preview to Youtube which we would like to share with you all. The EP is set to release in May and a small run of vinyl copies will also available prior to the digital release.
Ninja Tune are very proud to announce the double A-side 10″ Floating Points Ensemble single, recorded and mixed at the legendary Abbey Road Studios for the Ninja Tune XX twentieth anniversary celebration.
Sam Shepherd aka Floating Points has been wowing the electronic music world since his self-released debut 7” single came out early in 2009. Releasing predominantly on Eglo records (which he runs alongside Rinse Fm’s Alexander Nut) as well as Planet Mu and R2, Shepherd’s productions have earned him the support of such luminaries as Theo Parrish, Kyle Hall, Benji B, Ramadanman, Four Tet, Kode 9 and Mary Anne Hobbs.

As Eglo records reaches it’s 10th release, West London’s Funkineven releases his third record already. On one side we have “Heartpound” which really is a tune for the dancefloor, while on the other side “Another Space” reminds me a bit of some early rave shit from back in the days. Steve has been busy remixing for Hyperdub artist Ikonika while at the same time practicing as part of Fatima‘s live band. Who made their debut appearance for Deviation at Fabric recently, supporting Bilal. Pictures of which can be found HERE.

You might have heard this on Alex Nut’s show on Rinse FM before, but now we finally know the artist and track name. Don’t have any extra information about Arp 101. It’s out on Eglo Records and is available through Rush Hour. Thanks to Mymanhenri and Alex Nut.

Funkineven is on some straight up Future Funk with his latest 12″ entitled “She’s Acid”. Really great music coming out of the Eglo camp lately and with this being their 8th release I think congratz are in order. Also congratz to Steve for getting signed to Hyperdub recently. The flipside has “Must Move” on it which is more of a psyched out electronic eighties tune if you ask me. Head over to Rush Hour to purchase the vinyl, because the A-side alone is well worth the money!
