Roisin Murphy Explains New Single, Momma's Place (video exclusive!)

Just yesterday, in the wee hours of the morning, I posted the pertinent links to Roisin Murphy's new single, Momma's Place. Today, we continue on in charitable fashion.

 

As a special for I, you and we (the collectively-rabid Roisin fans), Ms. Murphy chats exclusively, in this short webisode, about the meaning behind the single. She quips about where she gathered inspiration for the song and lyrics. 

Watch the clip now!

Roisin Murphy's single, Momma's Place, is out on January 18 via AWAL. Also be on the look/listen-out for her upcoming song with Italian dj-dudes, Crookers. If you haven't already heard the clip of Hold Up Your Hand, then give it a quick listen here!

Gramophonedzie - Why Don't You (new video!)

Late last year, I was introduced to Gramophonedzie, also known as Serbian based DJ and producer, Marko Milicevic. Respect, my fellow Serb! Yes, I'm only like one-quarter of the heritage, but I'll use any excuse to rep some ethnic-cred.

 

Marko has performed alongside Basement Jaxx, Roger Sanchez, Bob Sinclar and David Morales, so his impressive repertoire precedes him. We're taking a look and listen at the track Why Don't You, an homage to both large housey records, as well as using a sample from Peggy Lee's Why Don't You Do Right.

I'm loving everything about this track, which for me, honors the early radness of Jaxx while maintaining a modern-day mindset. The video? Equally as impressive. Watch the utterly cool throw-down below.

Gramophonedzie's Why Don't You will be officially released as a single on February 28, with remixes coming courtesy of Trevor Loveys, Bingo Players, DJ Sneak and GreenMoney.
