Pop is short for popular, everyone knows that. But just because it’s popular, does it necessarily make it good? In the case of most things, no, not at all. Music is very opinioned and people are influenced very easily and miss out on the good stuff unless it’s slapped in their faces.
Take the Mint Royale song/remix Singing In The Ring when it was originally released, no-one gave a shiny shit about it. But since George Sampson did a dance to it on “Britain’s Got A Bit Of Talent Which Simon Cowell Will Then Exploit†the whole country went nuts to the song and got it number one.
Hecklerspray just wants to get good stuff to you before its mass marketed to death. Take interview storming Chris Martin, we know they have a new record out but every time we switch on the TV his band are there either advertising it or promoting iTunes. All we know about this week’s band Strangebusyworld is that it’s one bloke just doing something he enjoys and trying to reach out to people.
Yes, we know we harp on a lot about how guff certain scenes are in music, but when bands like Basshunter and acts like Cascada can rule the dance/electronic charts, something is wrong. Why can’t actual quality stuff get a look in?
Without saying too much and leaving you to do some detective work, here is an artist making good solid music that is perfect for a good night out. Be it to laugh at people badly dancing to the various songs or if you just want to listen to some good electronica.
Go!
