So I’ve started this internship which requires me to get up at 7am. In the event of my brain distintegrating on the 1hr and 10min commute, I have been making morning mix tapes to massage my brain. Much of my music taste is culminated in the need to distract myself from the nausia I feel from early mornings. Wonderful.

Anyway, this tune is really mesmorising, I am always a fan of some pummelling bass, what others might refer to as ‘phat’ - but I am a northerner, so thats almost a dirty word, innit. But if you’re not northern and phat is part of your general dialogue, then this is for you. It features singer Beth Rowley, whose voice cuts through the bass and beats without that sickly lady sound that has become recently popular (think Nero and Crush On You, it’s not like that).

Enough babbling (its cos its early) here is it:
