It’s another brilliant pop song from them, in my opinion their best yet. Hints of old school UK garage influences like their recent collaborators Disclosure. A remix is also on the way from Baauer.

Could this be 2013’s ‘Language’ (Porter Robinson)? A sleeping summer dance smash.

For fans of Disclosure and the house revival. This one’s for sunset or the chill out moment. Hands in the air before it all goes ravey baby.

Florrie ‘Shot You Down’ (41/365/2013)

Monthly Music Club track No. 41 comes from 24 year old singer, songwriter, drummer and… model from Westerham, Florrie.

Don’t let the fact that Florrie is a model lead you to the conclusion she’s a manufactured pop princess, only signed for her looks. She’s been the in house drummer for Xenomania (the pop production house) since 2008 and played live and on record for Kylie Minogue, Girls Aloud and the Pet Shop Boys.

Although she’s previously released tracks like this one, it seems that 2013 will be the year Florrie tries to make her own mark. Keep an eye out for her. Including performing at BBC Kent Introducing’s 5th birthday gig at the Marlowe Studio in Canterbury this Sunday the 3rd of March. www.marlowetheatre.com/page/3040/BBC-Introducing-In-Kent/459

Monthly Music Club track No. 37 comes from Manchester’s The 1975. ‘Chocolate’ is the current single due out on the 4th of March. I’ll be honest I’m obsessed with this band. You just can’t help but feel like life is good when their songs are playing. They’re also bloody lovely people.

I’ve just heard the next single. Sounds like something from a classic 80s movie. Perfect. Just perfect. I’ll stop sounding like a stalker now.

Russ Chimes ‘Turn Me Out’ (36/365/2013)

Monthly Music Club track No. 36 comes from London producer Russ Chimes. ‘Turn Me Out’ is battle ready for the big room dance floor. Hands in the air people. And try to dance and sing along to this song without a big grin on your face. Impossible.

What more Russ? He did a Minimix for Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show recently. Proper smashed it. That’s how a Minimix should sound. Check it out and more on his soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/russchimes

Haim ‘Falling’ (35/365/2013)

Monthly Music Club track No. 35 comes from LA sisters HAIM. ‘Falling’ falls (ahem) into the category of songs I’ve only just got my arse in gear to post. The troublesome trio are smashing it out of the park with their smile inducing songs.

I saw them last year in a tiny and peculiar venue in East London. They talked about anal. They’re so cool.
