JOSH BEECH AND THE JOHNS

What first drew me to Chew Lips apart from their brilliant name was the girl's fab hair, and then I noticed that their new single is FREE (and there ain't nuthin illegal about it honey). Do You Chew is serving me a slice of chic R&B realness which I really enjoy.

Electronic massive Mancunian duo Stay+ (formerly Christian AIDS) have compiled a top ten for us. Featuring The Mahotella Queens, Blue Hawaii and Erykah Badu this playlist makes for an interesting and fucking good listen. Their latest EP dropped back in April and you can hear the lead track Guardian below too.

This afternoon at Beat HQ the topic of conversation was summer jamz (or rather the lack of them in this weather) - songs to dutty wine to repeatedly all summer until you break your back or die of sun stroke. I think Wiley & Ms. D have come up with mine, as I'm practically begging for a Heatwave right now. Or an electric heater, a picture of a palm tree cut out from a magazine, and a thermos of Sainsbury's mojito mix (ewww). This gem is produced by the genius Rymez.
