This is one of those matches that should not work. Smoother than silk R&B/Folk of Ed Sheeran mixed with bass heavy, gritty DubStep from True Tiger. However, like peanut butter and jam, the two compliment each other so well.
The slow tempo of the dub compliments Ed’s vocals which are chopped and thrown about all over the bass heavy and industrial sounds. This is Dubstep, void of aggression and full of colour.
My only one complaint is it is far too short. You just get in to it, the mix of sounds exploding in your headphones and then… “Angels to die… die… die…” the fade comes and your left checking your wireless router to make sure you internet connection didn’t just fail! A great song, over way too soon.
This is one of those songs I thought could never been reworked/remixed. The boys over a True Tiger have done a masterful job and once again I am proved wrong.
It gets it’s full release in June, so make sure you go out and support great British music

Andreya Triana – I knew she wouldn’t become a household name, and I think she would never have expected to. I still think 2010 was a pretty good year for Ms. Triana, in which she spent a large part touring with Bonobo. She released her debut album, Lost Where I Belong, rather quietly in August.
Big Sean – “…I wish that I could take you off tour, put you in the studio so you focus more on my sh*t”, Big Sean muses to Kayne West on his Say What’s Real freestyle. In reality, the only thing Kanye did when he came off tour was head in to the studio to focus on his own sh*t. From all the promise and potential Big Sean has all he has managed to muster in 2010 was a couple of mixtapes and features; nothing earth-shattering. Think he really needs to put the effort in during 2011.
Bluey Robinson – Bluey was particularly hard working in 2010. Two spots at Wireless Festival and supporting Tinie Tempah on his UK tour were amongst the highlights (still maintaining in a stellar live show). Bluey does still seem to be waiting for the game changing break. Finger’s crossed it’ll come during 2011, and as I’ve mentioned before, once he has that… he may just take over the world, one song at a time.
Marina & the Diamonds – Marina had a somewhat mixed year. It started great; she seemed to be everywhere and on every TV show imaginable. She even managed to pick up the Best UK & Irish Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards. Then it all went a little quiet. In 2010, none of her singles cracked the Top 10 (indeed her most recent release Shampain peak at 141). Her debut, The Family Jewels, was well received by critics and went Gold.
Mike Posner – Mike Posner was seemingly going to do absolutely nothing in the UK during 2010… then towards the end of another British excuse for a summer, a remix of Cooler Than Me appeared on the radio. Before long the song seemed to be staple on music TV and it charted at No. 5. Yeah, I think the single version is massively inferior to the original… but hey, what do I know!
