It seems Róisín Murphy has better things to do than make awesome music these days (probably being awesome generally) but she’s teamed up with Boris Dlugosch on his new track ‘Look Around You’ (up on Beatport). The pair had previously collaborated on the track ‘Never Enough’. ‘Look Around You’ is much more palatable. Oh, also best to ignore the video (because it’s shite) and just listen to the track:
Previously: Mano Le Tough remixes Ms. Murphy.
Highlights: Camden Crawl Dublin festival, The Beatyard festival, Alt-J/Hundred Waters, Angel Olsen, Thee Oh Sees, Daedelus, Shit Robot/The Field, Why? and more.
A pair of passes to Daedelus (Friday), The Field/Shit Robot, Ocho (Sunday). Full details of each show and how to enter below.

You might have heard that snippet of ‘Banana Clipper’ a couple of weeks back from El-P and Killer Mike’s new project. The best new buds in the rap game are teaming up on Run The Jewels for a U.S. tour this summer and they are releasing a free album via Fool’s Gold before then. ‘Get It’ is the first full track from the Run The Jewels album.
If you’ve been following the online treasure hunt of six-digit codes, mysterious radio and TV broadcasts and cryptic GIF ASCII characters or especially if you haven’t (FACT have been covering it extensively), the good news is that Boards Of Canada do indeed have a new album entitled Tomorrow’s Harvest and it will be released on Warp Records on June 7th (Ireland), 10th (Europe) /11th (US).
It’s up for pre-order on Bleep right now (though the site is very busy). Here’s a video trailer and a tracklist:
Meteor Camden Crawl Dublin takes place this Bank Holiday weekend in 15 venues (17 with comedy) around the city from Camden Street to Dame Street and beyond. See the timetable and the bands playing the Nialler9 night along with the other hosts over the weekend. Join the event page for more updates too.
On Sunday night in the Village following Three Trapped Tigers, Orlando Peter FitzGerald aka Orquesta will be DJing before Darkstar take to the stage. Orlando’s put together a Soundcloud set of music suggestive of the kind of thing you can expect from him. His tropical-leaning bass-heavy electronic style is full effect here with tracks from Romare, Murlo’s remix of Mohammed Alidu, Mano Le Tough, Imo Brothers International Band, Kingdom, Ciara and a Justin Timberlake bootleg from King Kong.
Orquesta’s off to the Red Bull Music Academy New York shortly and we can expect collaborations with Kid Smpl and Lido Pimienta soon also. Enjoy the mix:
When not accompanying David Kitt on his New Jackson project, Damo Lynch makes vintage sounding synth-based electronica as Diamond Dagger, music which is like soundtracks to forgotten movies and video games. His latest EP follows up the February release of DD-1 EP. Damo says Bison is “more Dagger than Diamond”. Download it at Bandcamp.
Clams Casino‘ slowed down cloudy production style is put to good effect by DOOM here on a woozy new track called ‘Bookfiend’. Lex Records are promising more collabs from the pair. In other DOOM news, his classic King Geedorah album was recently sent out to Beat Delete funders ( I got that) and is now available from Ninja Tune.

The new single from Marcus Lambkin’s Shit Robot finds the trademark disco synth swagger in full effect. What sets ‘Feels Real’ apart from last year’s ‘Space Race’ single is Luke Jenner of The Rapture’s discotastic falsetto. Here, he’s credited simply as JENR. The song is out on a 12″ on Monday through DFA with remixes by Luke Solomon and Larse.
Also next week, Shit Robot is playing Cypress Ave, Cork on May 3rd, Roisin Dubh, Galway on May 4th and Button Factory, Dublin post Camden Crawl with The Field on May 5th. If you’re in NYC, he’ll be playing the DFA/RBMA closing party alongside a whopper lineup. Stream the track below via the Vimeo vid:
