Song Of The Day: Ben Khan - Drive (Part 1)

Ben Khan would seem to be a mysterious, enigmatic and elusive character in music - that's right. I looked up some information to give you on the new music maestro but came up with nothing, save these few facts:

     - Judging by his Tumblr URL, he was (presumably) born in 1992, making him another                    sickeningly talented youth alongside the likes of Madeon and Flume.
     - Drive (Part 1) sounds like the bastard love child of a glorious Jai Paul, Jamie Woon and            James Blake musical orgy.



(He also deserves more followers on Twitter for someone who Zane Lowe repped on Radio 1 but that really is just personal opinion).

Zero 7 - On My Own


SOUND THE "NEW MUSIC WE DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE WAITING FOR BECAUSE, TO BE HONEST, WE WEREN'T PAYING ATTENTION" KLAXON - Zero 7 have released their first new material in 3 years.

"On My Own", a 9 minute 10 minute second track of epic proportions, appears to have taken a leaf out of Daft Punk (and anybody else relevant right now)'s book and decided that some retro synths, funky basses and old school guitar riffs are, without a shadow of a doubt, the way forward. And have thrown in a little extra oriental flavour too, just for good measure.

The single will be released on the 26th of August and will include the track "Don't Call It Love" as a b-side.
