If Jasmine were a DJ

I once did an interview for Chris Off The Cuff and he called the piece 'If Jasmine Were A DJ' which seems relevant today.

Jai Paul has just dropped this track called 'Jasmine' you see. Seemingly out of nowhere, or at least nowhere near my bubble. Woke up to twitter going mad for it, and I'm sure it was even trending? Thought Beyonce's first ever tweet might even mention it. Sadly not the case, but Drake's probably listening right now. Big tune for summer (although we've actually seemed to revert back to winter?)

Check it.

South By South Best

I'm still so jet-lagged/warped from SxSW. It was quite easily one of the best weeks of my life. So much music, so much skating, so much boozing, not to mention amazing weather and the best people. I'm going to book my tickets for next year stat. Obviously as a music freak, I was in my element. Got to see a bunch of bands who I've seen before but who were great, as well as a lot of people I'd never seen before. I'm going to post a few, but today I'll start with Reptar. In true SxSW fashion, we met up with some friends who were heading to see this band named after the dino from Rugrats. I'd never heard anything about them, but we went along to check them out as we had a spare hour. Turned out to be a great choice as they were amazing. So summery and perfect with a beer at 2pm in Austin. I think they kind of sounds like if Wu Lyf covered Fool's Gold....now you definitely want to check them out!
