It’s also picked up a smattering of New Music Fridays on Spotify worldwide, as well as prominent features in Apple Music’s New In Indie & New In Alt playlists.
Read MoreThis new Pixey track is ace, and we were delighted when Darren Lawson was invited to mix the track. Sunshine State is a high energy piece of 90’s indie tinged pop produced by Pete Robinson that is already starting to pick up editorial support.
Read MoreVoodoo Bandits have the potential to be your new favourite band. Their tunes are dead catchy, smartly written and fun as fuck. They’re also from the Isle of Man, which is a place I know barely anything about, except that they’ve done a good job of containing coronavirus, and the cats there don’t have tails, which is quite interesting, when you think about it.
Read MoreIt’s been a hot minute since we’ve had new music from British/Korean duo WOOZE. Their last EP, What’s On your Mind?, mixed by Darren Lawson, was a big record for us back in 2019, and we were delighted to get the call for Daz to mix their new single.
Read MoreOur Daz has been mixing Alfie’s stuff since day one, and it’s been quite the trip watching Alfie Templeman develop towards his amazing debut mini-album, Forever Isn’t Long Enough.
Read MoreI first saw Glasvegas 2007 around the time that their single Daddy’s Gone came out. The recollection of where the show was at is long lost in a fog of rollie smoke and Strongbow hangovers, but I do remember it being absolutely tremendous.

Read MoreRecently signed to Hopeless Records, NoahFinnce is the alter ego of Noah Adams. Not only is Noah massive on the internet, but he’s also capable of creating snarling pop punk anthems like this track, Life’s A Bit.
Read MoreNamed after the decapitated racehorse from the Godfather (explicitly not the capital city of Sudan), Khartoum are a very exciting new rock ’n’ roll band. They’ve already played Glastonbury, Electric Picnic Festival and the god damn Louvre in Paris. They’ve even had still-prancing medical marvel Mick Jagger down the front of some of their shows. I don’t really like the Rolling Stones very much, but he must surely know something to have sold that many records.
Read MoreDavid Arthur & Matt Kern form brand new duo Lemonteeth, whose debut single Forgive Me Father is out today through our pals at Young Poet Records. Mixed by Darren Lawson, it’s an ambitious combination of Americana flecked with indie wonkiness. Think Big Thief put through a Tame Impala filter.
Read MoreDarren’s been mixing yet again for 17 year old Chess Club prolific protege Alfie Templeman. This time it’s four tracks on Alfie’s fourth EP, Happiness In Liquid Form. Darren mixed the title track Happiness In Liquid Form (produced and co-written by Jay Jay Pistolet, aka the Vaccines’ Justin Hayward-Young), Wish I Was Younger, Maybe This Is Time, and My Best Friend, which features label mates Coach Party.
Read MoreNOAHFINNCE is the new musical project of 20 year old Youtube influencer Noah Adams, and is his first release under his new moniker. Adams, who is known for his alternative take on LGBQT+ issues went in to write with St£fan to write and record earlier this year, and Underachiever is the first track to be released from these sessions. Record of the Day described it as evoking ‘90s era Green Day with a. Splash of Jamie T and SWMRS.’ The track picked up editorial support from Spotify’s All New Rock playlist on the day of release.
Read MoreRadio was my first love. Honestly, I don’t think I’d be doing this if it wasn’t for Steve Lamacq’s Evening Sessions back in the heady days of the early 2000s.
Glad to say that radio continues to be good to me and our gang at Friends Vs Music, with three records on Radio 1’s playlist.
Read MoreWill I ever get bored about talking about Darren Lawson’s work with Alfie Templeman? Honestly, nah.
