Guido - Anidea (2010)

What is going on in Bristol? I've heard this West of England town being called 'dubstep's second home' but good music has been coming out of Bristol for nearly 20 years already.

The next new hot producer from Bristol, Guido, is putting out languid, chillout dubstep and the stand out track 'The Way You Make Me Feel'has a super soul vibe and features a killer vocal from Yolanda (who has sung for Bristol's Pinch and Massive Attack).

Nice Nice - Extra Wow (2010)

What do they sound like? Fuck Buttons meets Animal Collective on an old cassete. Their sound is strictly lo-fi. But the sound experiments are spot on and manage to reach the same orgasmic heights as the mighty Fuck Buttons.

The Grails - Black Tar Prophecies Vol. 4

At 22 minutes, the new Grails album is actually more like an EP in length, an addendum to the Black Tar Prophecies trilogy released 4 years ago.

It is peaceful, with soft pianos featuring more than the rumbling guitar that has characterized their recent work.

Rating: 7/10

Best song: Self Hypnosis
