I live in London and I love music, especially techno. I'm a tall man, I like tunes that make me feel something, and so I thought I'd share some of them with you.
Welcome to Tune Of The Day.
Hard to believe this is a Pendulum track considering their output nowadays - fair play to them, they’ve taken a genre and really run with it, and they are pretty good live. But this will always be one of my favourite tracks of theirs, an effortless liquid D&B track that just gets better and better with time (the little switch-up at 2 mins 30 secs is just wicked!)
What a track - harking back to the days of old school house and garage, with a modern feel. Heard on a Lee Foss mix, which says it all - I’ve been to so many house/techno raves where they’ve dropped a classic garage track out of nowhere. Works so well.
This tune is too much, it goes through about three different phases during the whole thing but my favourite is the epic rising chorus at 3 minutes in: “What am I doing with my life, falling to pieces just because she’s gone; I know I’ve been falling for far too long, but day after day it goes on.”
One word for this tune - RAH! Jess Mills (and Breakage) made one of my favourite tunes last year with ‘Fighting Fire’ and this remix has just done it all over again. This is the kind of dubstep I like, a ghostly vocal and a serious bassline. So good.

I would thoroughly recommend that you all follow Tensnake on Twitter (@Tensnake) as it will give you bangers such as this on a daily basis. This guy is definitely one of my favourite DJs at the minute, he blurs the line between house and disco perfectly and his set at Bestival 2011 was one of the highlights of the weekend. He puts the party back into DJ sets - pure joy!
“You’ve got to follow your own mind and ears, and find a sound that stays inside your mind for years…”
Exactly! I cannot get enough of this album today, you can hear every last influence, from Joe Goddard (Hot Chip) himself through to the UK garage, hip-hop and house heads name checked on this track. F*cking outstanding!
