Not much needs to be said about this beautiful video and gorgeous song. Just watch it.

Catch Lia Ices with Glasser and recent blog favourite Sampha next week.
One of our faves from the past year or so is Gold Panda, and one thing we like about him is the restless quality of his music, finding new ideas to settle on minute-by-minute or second-by-second. He has just posted an unofficial remix to soundcloud – yet more restless creativity from the man.
Listen to it below:
(Bitch I) Feel Good (Gold Panda Unofficial Hancock Version) – Chip Tha Ripper by Gold Panda
Here’s one that will outlive Valentine’s Day. Great little pop song with Sampha – he supports Glasser very soon.
Seems like a while since we did one of these, and it is! January is traditionally quiet so as we busy up we are bringing back monthly mixes. This months is a nice welcome back with the likes of Glasser (above) and Caribou, giving us a fresh excuse to put some of our favourites from last year in a mix. Check out the tracklist below and have a listen:
