Ministry of sound is most commonly known for its “dance and beats” and associated with the clubbing scene quite heavily. However the series “Chillout sessions” has had me quite hooked with a more laid back approach of relaxed beats and smooth house which i quite enjoy. Many tracks from vast variety of artists make it hard to get bored of. If you’re keen for something fresh do check it out.

Greetings sports fan!
I’ve been listening to a bit of Hi-Hop lately and got myself hooked on RJD2.
RJD2 makes music varying over many categories, from Hip-Hop, Instrumental, Rock to Lounge.
During his career he has worked with many artists to produce tracks and albums.
Some examples:
- EL-P
- Cannibal Ox
- Mos Def
- Aesop Rock
- Cunning Linguists
- Masta Ace
Although I’ve greatly enjoyed his Hip-Hop type tracks, his latest albums “Third Hand” and “Since We Last Spoke” have really struck a chord with me. His music styling has changed and the best examples of this is in “Work It Out” and “Making Days Longer”. He now infuses lot of soft vocal on top of his laid back beats.
I had RJD2’s “Third Hand” album playing in the car, and my friend Jess commented that a few tracks resembles the Beatles! I can sort of agree, especially in “You Never Had It So Good” and “Laws Of The Gods”.

Dropped by JB Hi-Fi last week and picked up a copy of The Cat Empire’s new album ‘So Many Nights’. Loved it from the start
Feels like they’ve taken their music in a different direction compared to the previous albums, Two Shoes and the self-titled.
Favourite tracks:
Til the Ocean Takes Us All
No Longer There
Definitely recommend it!
