Jagwar Ma ‘The Throw’ (45/365/2013)

There’s definitely a strong chance you’ll be raving to this band somewhere in a field over the next few years as they headline festivals all over the world. Bold statement at such an early stage, but take a listen and tell me I’m wrong.
Half Moon Run ‘Full Circle’ (44/365/2013)
Monthly Music Club track No. 44 comes from British Columbia trio Half Moon Run. ‘Full Circle’ is on Ben Lovett from Mumford & Sons label Communion Records. Their debut album ‘Dark Eyes’ is due for release later this year.
For fans of Mumford & Sons, Bon Iver, Alt-J and even Coldplay.
AlunaGeorge ‘Attracting Flies’ (43/365/2013)
Monthly Music Club track No. 43 comes from London duo du jour AlunaGeorge. ‘Attracting Flies’ is released on the 10th of March and will be on their debut album ‘Body Music’ due on the 1st of July.
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.
Chris Malinchak ‘So Good To Me’ (42/365/2013)
Monthly Music Club track No. 42 comes from New York based producer Chris Malinchak. ‘So Good To Me’ has been around for a bit, it was posted to YouTube in October 2012 and part of Pete Tong’s Essential selection back in November. But it’s now got a release date of the 22nd of April.
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
