    With the summer having officially arrived (at least where I am currently) it seems quite fitting that the Norwegian retro futuristic dance wunderkind Todd Terje has released an absolutely stellar single to complement any and all of our sun soaked endeavours.

    ‘Lights On’ is Wiley’s fourth attempt to cross the pop-grime barrier from album ‘The Ascent’.

  • Chapel Club – ‘Shy’

  • Gary Clark Jr. – ‘Numb’
